Meet handsome Calvin!

Calvin is a 7-month-old Cattle Dog/Hound/Pittie mix (BEST ASSESSMENT ONLY, NO GUARANTEE) - we think he's just about full grown and should only top out around 40lbs.
 
Calvin is full of life and energy & loves toys and running around the yard; but, more than anything, he wants to be held and cuddled by his humans and cuddle up close with his canine foster siblings. This boy could be going a million miles a minute but will calm right down for some cuddle time on the couch.

Calvin is good with most other dogs, male/female, big and small providing a nice fair intro. He loves snuggling with his foster brothers and playing with toys.

Calvin also had a successful cat intro and did great!  We believe he would be just fine living with a dog-savvy feline.

Like any puppy/young adult, Calvin is still learning and looking to perfect his basic skills-he already has a nice start and is food motivated so training is fun! He recently attended a local training day and did great! (see video).

He is also doing GREAT with potty training. Besides cuddling, Calvin’s favorite pastimes include sprinting at top speed around the yard, playing/wrestling with his doggie foster brothers, hopping down the stairs like a goat, and chewing marrow bones and nylabones.  And, of course, Calvin loves being cradled in the arms of his humans and giving/getting tons of love.

Calvin is a healthy, happy youngster who is ready for a forever home where he will get lots of loving and be made a part of day-to-day family life.  We are seeking a home for Calvin where there is another social canine family member – he LOVES cuddling with other dogs so much, as in his past life (in the shelter in SC), he always had canine company.  We feel he would thrive best in an environment where he had both loving people and a doggie buddy.   

Calvin is neutered and up-to-date on core vaccines, flea-tick preventative and heartworm preventative.  He is therefore all ready for a great home of his own.  Could that be you?
