Calypso

Meet Calypso, an exceptionally friendly, confident, and joyful young dog who is thrilled to be living his best life! He started very underweight at 39lbs, Calypso is a handsome dog making a steady, wonderful recovery after being rescued. He is vibrant, healthy, fully vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, and well on his way to reaching his ideal conditioning around 45lbs.

Calypso is a social butterfly who genuinely loves people. He greets everyone with boundless enthusiasm and remains unfazed by street noise or thunder. Bright, observant, and eager to please, he picks up on routines quickly by watching his human and canine friends. He thrives on human companionship and welcomes visitors with pure delight, though he is still practicing keeping all four paws on the ground when he gets extra excited.

When it comes to other dogs, Calypso enjoys canine company immensely. He plays wonderfully with dogs his size or larger and interacts gently with young puppies, making him a great candidate for a home with a confident, playful resident dog. He also loved playing with children ages 10 to 14. Because he can still be a bit mouthy when over-joyed, he will do best with active adults or a family with dog-savvy older kids who can continue guiding his polite play.

Calypso shows great natural cleanliness habits and waits for his regular daily walks to go to the bathroom. He is crate-trained and sleeps quietly through the night after settling. On the leash, his manners are improving every day using a Gentle Leader. True to his hound roots, Calypso does have a high prey drive and will chase running animals like chickens, so he will need a home without cats or small free-roaming pets.

Overall, Calypso is an athletic, adaptable, and deeply loving companion with endless potential. If you are looking for an upbeat, affectionate adventure partner to complete your family, Calypso is ready to steal your heart!
