Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello I am Calvin, a large, 2 yr old, ~70 lb, neutered male German Shepherd / your best guess (maybe Collie?!), foofball. I am up to date on vax and microchipped.
I was asked to let you all know what I'm like. Transparently speaking, my foster mom helped me with this homework, my edits are in [brackets]:
I am [the awesomest] big sweet boy, who loves dogs, big and small [unless they are hella scary and then I want no part of them]. I smell everything on walks, which are my favorite things [in the world]. I run after balls and bring them back, in a lovely, big, bouncy way. When I walk, I look like I am floating and I am alert to all wildlife around me. I spot things wayyyy before my humans [actually I smell them but that's a minor detail]. I have been around horses and though I am a bit shy, I don’t pounce or bark at them, I am curious [cause they smell nice]. I have been around my foster mom's, daughter's, pack of 1 big dog, 2 little dogs and 1 little human, and I had excellent manners [which cannot be said for one of her little dogs, but I digress]. I would do well in a house with other dogs, and kids [but probably not cats because they would definitely get me in trouble].
WRT house manners, I am guilty of having mild separation anxiety when the humans leave [no comment]. But I am smart and want to please, and am already figuring out they love me and will be back so [most of the time] I fuss at the beginning and then lay and sleep calmly till they come home. In the mornings I wake the humans up with a very special snuggle. I respond when called, know to go to my bed, and I sit and wait when asked. While I am a bit skittish around new men, or fast moving bikes, I warm up quickly, have made friends everywhere I go and lean into them with affection. [If you like a good leaner, I'm pretty much your guy].
On walks I wait patiently when my humans chat [I think she means talk forever]. I even recently visited Japantown and did fabulous, sitting at the outdoor restaurant. [I wasn't given a menu, which I'm still getting over...].
If I sound like a good fit with your situation, reach out to [my besties] at PACC by filling out the quick application below. [I look forward to leaning on you]!
