About Calyx’s Breed:
Terrier mixes are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and people-oriented nature. Calyx beautifully represents the gentler side of terriers—affectionate, attentive, and happiest when surrounded by her people. She enjoys companionship without being demanding and brings a calm, loving presence to the home.
Calyx’s Story & Personality:
Calyx is a sweet, well-mannered girl who truly shines around children. She is 100% housebroken, crate trained, and trustworthy enough to be left alone without a crate. While a fenced yard isn’t required, she would enjoy having space to roam freely and relax outdoors.
She does well with other dogs and enjoys canine companionship. When playing with smaller dogs, she may gently pin them as part of her play style, so she would do best with larger dogs or small dogs who don’t mind close contact. Her play is quiet, gentle, and never rough.
Calyx has a low to medium energy level and prefers calm interaction, soft play, and lots of affection. Belly rubs and sweet talk are truly her love language, and she accepts love with quiet joy and gratitude.
Calyx’s Ideal Home:
A family with young children who want a gentle, loving dog
A home with at least one other dog for companionship
An adopter who appreciates calm energy and affectionate bonding
A household ready to give plenty of belly rubs and kind words
Ready to Welcome a Gentle Family Dog into Your Life?
Calyx is the kind of dog who settles into your heart effortlessly. With her soft spirit, love for children, and easygoing nature, she’s ready to become a cherished family companion and loyal best friend.
