Here's what the humans have to say about me:
6/10/15 - I'VE BEEN ADOPTED!
ADOPTION FEE: $150
Fostered in Texas
Weight: 8.5 lbs.
Age: 10 years
11/12/14 - Calvin is truly the best baby ever. He has been labeled as a 10 year old. This is because the shape his teeth were in when he came in and due to the fact that his dental only left him with 2 teeth, it was hard to estimate, but the vet estimated 10. He truly loves to be with his people and shows that daily in his personality. He is as healthy as a horse, so don't let his age scare you, he'll probably outlive us all. Calvin might be categorized as a 10 year old senior, but he gives and acts like a 7 year old adult. You cannot miss by applying to adopt him and adding him to your home.
3/11/14 - Mr. Calvin has been in his foster home a little while now and his foster mom and dad are so impressed at how healthy and loving he is. Calvin is such a great little guy who tells you 20 times a day how happy he is to be with you. Foster mom swears he’s about 6-7 years of age since he is strong, healthy, active and alert. But being the shape his teeth were in, and the fact that he only has 2 teeth left, they determined he was a senior. Obviously no one told Calvin this since he still loves hard kibble and keeps up with the other younger pups in the home. He also does very well with his potty habits, he's a doggy door champion who is undeterred by rain or cold. A better family addition you could not ask for.
So, if you want a younger man, that has been labeled as an older man, apply for Calvin, you won’t be disappointed.
1/20/14 - I would love to tell you where I came from and a little about my previous life, but my previous people always told me if I ratted them out, they would hunt me down and hurt me like they did when I was with them (before they dumped me). So, rather than cry over spilled milk, I'm anxious to start over and make new "nice" memories.
My name is Calvin and I am a sweet fellow that likes to be close to my people. I’m not pushy with it, but will never turn down a lap and petting. Foster mom even says that I’m a bit of a moaner when being petted I like it so much. I’m not a jumper though, so if you want me to be up there with you, I will wait to be picked up and put down. Same with the big people bed.
Seems I had not had any vetting previously done and needed everything. I’m not surprised. I received shots, blood work, heartworm test and they gave me some medicine because I had worms. Now, I’m scheduled to have my neuter, removal of the only 2 teeth that I have and a mass that is in my mouth removed. Boy these people really make sure you are 100%.
I am in a foster home now with other pets and a nice foster mom and dad. I’m a little leery of foster dad, but it isn’t him, I just had some bad experience with the men in my life before, so foster dad is teaching me that all people don’t hurt and aren’t bad.
I am a good kisser, not sloppy or too much in your face. I have a very laid back personality, but have been known to bark if the other pups do or if someone comes to the door. Mine is a raspy, old man bark, but I think it does the trick. I am a hearty eater and will run, not walk to the kitchen when I know FM is dishing up the vittles. Since I only have 2 teeth, soon to be no teeth, (don’t make fun, it’s not my fault), I eat a combination of soft and hard kibble and I do just fine. This is why dental care is so important for us little tykes. If not kept up with, you end up with no teeth. FM says it doesn’t matter, I’m still an adorable sweetheart. I can even play with the soft stuff squeaky toys. So who needs teeth?
I’m working on my potty training and with persistence on mine and your part, I think I just might get it in time. I’m not an alpha and give most of the other pups in the home their required personal space, but don’t think that just because I’ve reached the double digits in age, that I’ll let everyone walk all over me.
So basically, I need a loving, laid back home. With or without other dogs, no children since I like it calm and quiet. I’m an easy little guy that just needs help getting onto the sofa or bed, need soft food mixed with my hard and am praying for much better owners than my last. FM & FD say I deserve a top notch family and home and will not let me go until that perfect fit comes along. Gosh, I’ve never had anyone love and care about me this much. It sure is nice.
