He was at risk for euthanasia numerous times before we were finally able to step in and help, when a trusted volunteer picked him up for us in July, after having spent roughly two months fighting for his life. As November comes to a close, we just can&#39;t believe this playful, sweet boy is still looking for his humans. Our hearts break at the thought that Calvin has spent over half his young life homeless<br/><br/>Cal is about a year and a half old and such a good size at 45-50 pounds. He spends his days playing with all his doggy friends, but his nights all alone in boarding. Calvin is equal parts snuggle buddy and adventure partner, he is wildly dog friendly, great in the car, loves all people big and small, and is even house trained! He struggles with seperation anxiety but who can blame him for not wanting to be alone when that&#39;s all he&#39;s ever known?<br/><br/>Cal is looking for a family that can show him that they will always come back - that can show him patience and grace as he learns that being alone is no longer his normal.<br/><br/>Can&#39;t adopt?

Swamp Haven Rescue's Adoption Policy
When you adopt a dog from Swamp Haven, you’re not just saving a life. You’re beginning a journey filled with love, loyalty and trust. Life can be busy and stressful. The companionship of a dog is a constant reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things. At Swamp Haven, our mission isn’t to just help down-on-their-luck dogs find their forever homes. Our mission is to create a lasting relationship with you and your family. Adopt happiness. Our adoption process is unique in that we work with you every step of the way to ensure that we’re placing the right dog with the right family. First, chat with us about what you’re looking for in a dog and we will set up a time for you to meet the lucky pup. From there, fill out an application. Once reviewed we set up a time to bring your potential pup to your house for a home visit and trial week. We want to make sure it’s the right fit for both your family and the dog involved. We will be totally available during the trial week for any questions or concerns. The last step is to finalize the adoption. And then congrats, you’re a new member of the Swamp Haven family and your happy tail has just begun! Our adoption fee is $400
