About Calvin

Meet Calvin! He's a handsome one-year-old Golden Retriever mix with a mellow personality and a splash of curiosity. Fully house-trained, he walks nicely on a leash and knows how to sit on command. Calvin enjoys walks, car rides, and swimming, but he equally loves to relax and share quiet moments with his favorite human. Calvin is a people-oriented dog, affectionate to a fault, and even thinks he’s a bit of a lap dog! He’s great with men, women, children, and seniors, and gets along well with both dogs and cats. A respectful boy, he doesn’t destroy things around the house and finds comfort in his crate, which serves as his safe retreat. Rarely barking, he has a low energy level, making him ideal for someone seeking a laid-back companion. His perfect home would be a calm, loving environment with a secure, fenced yard where he can safely roam. However, Calvin does have a small quirk: he feels nervous about venturing outside alone and prefers the company of his person. A family that can gently build his confidence while providing companionship outdoors would be a wonderful fit. If a fenced yard isn’t possible, regular walks and car ride adventures will be just fine. Ultimately, Calvin just wants to be with his people. If you're searching for a sweet, affectionate boy who will follow you around and snuggle by your side, Calvin might be your perfect match! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
