Calvin

My story

Meet CALVIN !!! This sweet little handsome man found himself in rescue after we drove 3 1/2 hours to save him from Northern Arizona. His previous household was trauma for him and he endured that for years until Animal Control got involved. Calvin was locked in a crate for DAYS sometimes WEEKS , left with enough food and water for a few days and then left to rot until the owner came back . Thankfully the neighbors and friends got involved , reported the owner , it took 2 years for them to save Calvin , but he is finally free and in foster care with us !! After being in a foster home for several weeks , we are pretty sure Calvin is deaf or VERY hard of hearing and that is also why he has separation anxiety. Calvin is a super sweet , loving , Velcro dog. He loves to cuddle up and take naps , loves to go places , loves to go on walks , is really enjoying his stroller rides , is doing really well with other dogs in foster care , and continues to grow each day. He does have separation anxiety , which is absolutely understandable , but we are working through it and he is doing great with his routine. Calvin would do great in a home with someone who is home often , someone who likes to cuddle , go for walks when it's cool outside ,someone who just wants his love and attention because he has a lot to give. We do prefer no small children in the home because he is a senior. Other calm dogs in the home would be okay as well, he doesn't seem to be reactive to cats , he just wants his human to follow around and love. If you would like to apply to meet Calvin you can email afpintake@gmail.com or Text/ Call his foster mom at 602-736-9523 He is neutered , vaccines up to date and microchipped. He is crate trained and knows how to use a dog door . He does use a belly band while free roaming inside the house and doesn't mind using those.
