Calvin

My story

ABOUT ME… Hi there! My name is Calvin and I’m your typical Aussie with a zest for life. I came to foster care after my previous owner decided I was too much to care for. I am a fast learner and am always eager to please! I have been working with a trainer through the rescue and am making progress on my confidence. I recently went to a board and train for a week and did so well that the nice ladies told me I was welcome back anytime! I AM GREAT WITH… other dogs. I LOVE my canine friends and would love to have to have another buddy to play with. I am completely house trained and sleep well in my crate at night. I also think with proper training, I would be a great running buddy. I AM STILL WORKING ON… I’m a bit guarded as I wasn’t really socialized as a young puppy. Once I’m comfortable, I warm up quickly to the people in my home and love my foster family. I do bark at strangers and am protectful of my home. I would do best with a quiet household and slow introductions to new people. I AM NOT GOOD WITH… cats. I like to try and herd them. I would also be best in a home with respectful children over age 12 due to my excitable nature as I’m still learning not to jump. I REQUIRE… A home with no cats No young children A large yard or farm so that I can run and get my energy out. I could really get used to the farm life because I always like having a job to do. A confident owner who has experience with herding dogs. A quiet household that doesn’t have a lot of coming and going.
