Calypso

Seeking a howling good time this season? Well stay inside, away from those howling winter winds, and snuggle up with Calypso the adorable puppy! Calypso is a girl puppy with a sleek tri-color coat and floppy ears. Calypso came to the shelter from one of our rescue partners and is seeking a loving home where they can learn all about basic puppy training being a happy dog. Calypso's foster parent had this to say about her, "I have been hanging out with one of the hound puppies, Calypso, a very sweet pup. She is very curious - at least inside of the house. She likes to be entertained and to entertain herself, too. She has a very healthy appetite and is very vocal when hungry - and she learned very quickly where the food is so she tries to get to it. She is also vocal when she is left alone even for a minute, or when she wants something. She mostly sleeps through the night and is learning to let us know when she needs to go out. She wants to play with my dogs a lot more than they have energy for! When she is tired after playing, she likes to curl up on the couch and she likes it when someone sits next to her. I hope that she finds a loving home"! If you have another dog in your family, please bring them in to meet the puppy and make sure it is a good fit for you pack. Sound like the puppy for you?
