Calypso came into care alongside her siblings, and after a recent outbreak of parvo at the pound they came from the 7 of them went straight into 2 weeks isolation. While no parvo eventuated unfortunately for these puppies it was an uphill battle for health until now and they are now fit to find their forever homes. The whole litter had ups and downs health wise and Calypso spent a whole week under specialist care due to malnutrition and her prognosis due to being a tiny 600g at the time was very very poor. But this amazing girl beat all odds and powered through and is now a cheeky, funny and spirited girl. The whole vet clinic adored her and she is now more than ready to find her forever home. Full details of her health journey will be provided to any interested party, but her vet team have said she is ready to take the next step!

Due to these puppies having a few health issues to start, they are a little behind in exposure and socialisation. They have been living all together with 3 resident dogs and amazing foster carers who have been doing as much as they can given the circumstances.

Calypso is crate trained and sleeps soundly through the night, and she’s working hard on her toilet training. Calypso travels well in the car, making her a great companion for outings and adventures. She’s lived happily with cats, dogs and children in her previous foster home and would suit a family who can give her plenty of love and attention. Any resident children will need to be very dog savvy given her tiny size and energetic nature.

While Calypso enjoys the company of other animals, she does not need another dog for company as she is happy to be on her own with human companionship. She will however require a family who can continue her socialisation outside of the home with other people, dogs and places in a gentle and appropriate way. With way, she will need someone home most of the time especially as a puppy. Isn’t return you will gain an affectionate companion who will always be by their side.
