Rescue Dog of the Week: Calvin the Dachshund Mix

Calvin is a 15-year-old male dachshund mix who was rescued from death row after being abandoned by his owner.

He was in pretty bad shape—covered in ticks, very weak, dirty and matted, but this pooch has cleaned up nicely, is up to date with his routine shots, and already neutered. Despite his physical condition and being abandoned, Calvin doesn't hold a grudge.

This pup is an absolute sweetheart, loves to snuggle, chew on bones, eat and sleep. He is great with other dogs and enjoys taking rides in the car. Calvin is looking for a forever home where he can retire and share all the love he has with a human companion.
