Calix's Story

CALIX WANTS A HOME! PLEASE FOSTER OR ADOPT TODAY!!!! We love this dog and he does not belong in a senior dog sancuary. he has medium energy and loves to be with people. he is great with other dogs. We are desperately in need of a foster or adopter asap for sweet 8 year young Calix. Some of the dogs at the sancutary do not like him. So he has to spend half his time ina kennel ( it is large, but dtill not the same as being free). he deserves better! someone please step up! you will love him and you just give him a chance! He is playful, sweet, friendly. He wants to be your snuggle bug in bed and best friend on your adventures and walks. Calix, aka Spooky #A2211880 from the north Central shelter deserves a happy ending! Did you follow his story on facebook or instagram? Apparently he was abused and neglected for years by his owners. A neighbor finally turned him into the shelter on July 25, 2025. Of course, he was not claimed by his owners. He was understandably nervous when first at the shelter and bit an RVT when they were removing a rope muzzle. After that, even though he had great behavior notes he was slated for euthanasia. No one wanted him, but everyone was rooting for him. Finally, we were able to rescue him on August 15, 2025. He had a temporary foster for a couple days while his long term foster was out of town, and then the long term foster was not able to keep him. He loves to play, has great energy and doesn't belong in a home for senior dogs. He will do great with other dogs and any attentive adopter/family.
