Adopt a Italian Greyhound / Pug / Mixed (short coat)
Calvin the Dog needs a home
Meet Calvin
Calvin is still a puppy so he is very playful and energetic. He did not have a great start in life; he was found as a stray on the side of the road as a young puppy. He was very fearful at first but has finally come out of his shell. He warms up to people quickly and loves to snuggle. Calvin is not potty trained but he is a work in progress. He will need a lot of training and reinforcements in this area. If there is another dog in the household it would be best if it were a younger, smaller dog that is also playful. Calvin needs lots of exercise which isn't difficult because of his size and needs lots of socialization. We feel that Calvin would well in a home with a fenced yard as this will help with his potty training. He is not fond of his harness and leash and sometimes tries to get out of them. Calvin does not do well with children or cats. He is a very sweet dog but needs an experienced home that can devote time and patience to his training. He would do very well as an only dog. Calvin would not do well in an apartment for condo because he will bark at small noises. He is also terrified of a crate and will work himself into a frenzy by chewing up any toys or blankets, drooling excessively, peeing and pooping, and biting at the cage. We have tried to break him of this but have been unsuccessful. We have found that keeping him contained to one room when we are not home has been okay. Please do not apply to adopt Calvin if you are not able to devote time to working with this puppy. Thank you.
