Hi, my name is Calvin and I spent my early years not in any sort of inside, family-style living so this is all new to me. So forgive me if I am a little skittish or nervous occasionally. Especially when we first meet. I do the same thing when outside of the environment I’ve grown accustomed to but I’m working on that and would do best with a home that will be patient and understanding. I admit, I’ve growled at people when my stress level is over the top for me but I haven’t ever snapped or bitten anyone. But for now, maybe a home without small kids would be better as commotion, loud noises and men seem to make me more tense.
I don’t have too much desire to play right now as I’m still trying to get accustomed to life in a loving environment. I’m low key but I ventured out a bit this week and actually played with a toy! Hold your applause! I don’t really have a fur bestie so I can be an only pet if you’re home most of the day. Why, you ask?? Well, I tend to have lots of conversation with people and like to voice my complaints to the peanut gallery often (bark bark). I am crate trained but that darn potty thing is a bit trickier. However, when you keep me on a good schedule, I feel I’m close to making it happen!
I don’t require a fenced yard either, as I’m working on my leash skills. Granted, it’s got more work to be had but we can do it! I have put my noodles together and with lots of practice, I know “sit, come, kennel, outside and go potty!” I’m food motivated which is why my noodles are functional.
Don’t think you’ve missing what you want to know. I wanted to wait to tell you but this kid right here loves to cuddle! I’m super sweet (with a bit of sauce). Once I know you’re one of the good ones, I am always happy to see you know will run right up to you looking for pets and loving! So, what are you waiting for?! Let’s get this loving on the road!!
*Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal’s bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
