Calvin arrived friday evening with Claire. He met our 5 dogs and they all made friends straight away . He was wary of John & myself. When I tried to pet him he trembled. We decided to give him-space. He constantly goes over to the dogs for reassurance & you can see him relax as they nudge him. They are minding him. By yesterday evening he was approaching us more & giving licks. It took some time to get the lead on him. He wanted to go for a walk but did not trust us enough to put the lead on him. we sat with him eventually he let John put the lead on and off we went . He has been sleeping down stairs with Charlie & Benji. Early this morning he jumped up on the bed and when I woke again he was snuggled into me .
He is eating well & loves to play with teddies and balls. He went in the car today and was good as gold. He loved the walkies.
We are letting Calvin set the pace. I would love to see him homed with another dog as he adores them & needs to learn from them.
Calvin is a very nervous dog and he will need a lot of time and patience and love. He does not like to be left alone but is content with my 5 doggies.

Calvin is continuing to make progress. We can put the lead on him straight away now. He jumps up on us looking for rubs & gives loads of licks. He is nervous if there is sudden movements or noise. If you touch him unexpectedly he gets a fright too. He loves to play & run around. He sleeps with Benji and charlie, he jumps into the bed for a cuddle in the morning. He loves his food and eats with gusto.My dogs treat him as if he has always been here.
I think Calvin will overcome his fears as he begins to trust us. He copies the other dogs as he is doing his best to learn the ropes & fit in. This little fella has been through a lot I would say, so we are talking it slowly as we don’t want to scare him in anyway. I am so proud of him as he is trying so hard not to be afraid. Here he is sitting on his bed posing

It’s tiring work being a dog spending a restful evening on the couch after walkies

Calvin went to the vet today and got his stitches out and took it all in his stride. He was relaxed and we brought Benji along for company. He loves the walkies & power walks along. Calvin is eating well & sleeps all night. So Calvin continues to gain confidence & even wags his tail

Calvin is such a gentle little dog & continues to improve daily. He loves a belly rub & is getting more comfortable being picked up and touched.
He loves to play . Calvin would needs to be homed with another dog as he needs the companionship & to learn. I think he would be best suited to an adult home or where there are older children who will give him the space & time to overcome his fears. He is a fragile little soul who needs heaps of love & care. He is bright as a button & picks thinks up very fast.

Yes, Calvin is really starting to trust. He is starting to act like the puppy he is. He has my doggie crew all running about like mad things chasing teddies
He has a lovely nature, so gentle and affectionate. He loves the walkies and can pull as he just wants to get going. He is full of energy so loves lots of activity. He still can get spooked but is learning to relax more. He has a lovely personality and will make a super pet. Again I would love to see him with another dog. Here is a few shots of the handsome man sorry my pictures are side ways again not sure why
