sweet boy ISO fresh start and love!
CALCIFER NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Calcifer Best Guess for Breed: Collie mix
Best Guess for Age: 3 years 11 months as of April 2024 SEX: Male
Approximate Weight: 28.8 lbs
Gets Along With: Calcifer does well with other dogs. We haven't seen him with kids but he can be tested. Calcifer currently lives with a cat in his foster home and is not very interested in the cat.
Currently Living at: DC area foster home.
Special adoption considerations:
Calcifer is also from a hoarding/cruelty situation, and was very scared at rescue. He was placed in a short term foster home pending a hoped-for flight to the DC area on 4/13 (foster or adopter needed for that to happen!) and has been making great strides! We think he will benefit from being in a home with a welcoming resident dog or having numerous opportunities to be around other dogs in various environments - they will show him how to dog in new places! Extra patient and loving humans are definitely needed.
Calcifer is Looking For: For a loving home that delivers all the sweet things his rescuers whispered in his ear.... "You're safe now, sweet boy. The life you deserve starts now. You get lots of love, quality kibble, a cushy dog bed - and a warm lap if you'd like too. You're safe now, sweet boy."
Calcifer was rescued from a hoarding/cruelty case and landed in a massive south Texas shelter that routinely has 1200-1500 animals in their care; his chances of being adopted in that area are, well, low to nil. Once he arrives in the DC area, he likely will be nervous in new environments. He is eager to get his own humans - ones who get that he might need extra support during his adjustment and give him all the love and patience he needs. And ones who take him for sniffy walks and all those adventures he's been missing out on - he's in his prime and has lost time to make up for! And what do his humans they get in return? An incredibly sweet and loving dog with an enormous stockpile of adoring gazes and loyal companionship to offer the humans in his new chapter.
What do you say? Will you help him write it?
