Story
Calvin is one very unique looking little dog. Definitely one of a kind. He is 1.5 years old, weighs 12 lbs, an we think he may be a Dachshund/Jack Russell Terrier mix, and maybe with a dab of Chinese Crested. When he first came to Humane Tomorrow, he had a serious skin condition that caused him to lose a lot of hair, which is shown in a photo taken on the first day. He has improved a lot after a few rounds of medication and a good diet, but he still has a few bald spots. His neck and tummy continue to be bare. Those areas a pink with brown spots and brown borders. Calvin is a fun, funny, playful, affectionate, sweet little dog. He has the cutest little head tilt and frequent squinty eyed expression, like he is trying to figure out what you are talking about! Calvin loves to play with other dogs, and his favorite game is play wrestling. If other dogs aren't interested in playing, he will gladly entertain himself with toys, which he likes to bring into one of the dog beds. Calvin might annoy older, more laid back dogs with his energetic play style, so he will be just fine as an only dog, as long as he has toys and play time. He likes to stretch out on his foster mom's lap when she is watching TV, and he sleeps through the night in a crate beside her bed. He would love to sleep in bed with his person if allowed. He loves, loves, loves meal time and treats. He has an amazingly loud bark for his small size, so he probably won't do well in an apartment. He is crate trained, although he will complain a little when you first leave. Calvin doesn't live with young kids, but we think he will be fine with kids over the age of 6. Please submit your application to adopt Calvin at www.humanetomorrow.org, and one of our adoption counselors will contact you.
