Adoption information
About Calvin
Meet Calvin, an energetic and goofy boy. With his sweet demeanor, Calvin brings a smile to everyone he meets. Despite his boundless energy, Calvin knows how to balance playtime with cuddles, making him the perfect companion for those who appreciate a playful yet affectionate pet.
Calvin's social nature is evident in both his interactions with dogs and humans. While he can get a bit overexcited and intense around other dogs, he is quite trainable and responsive to corrections. Over time, he settles down and redirects his focus to listening to his handler.
Calvin is familiar with basic commands and is toilet trained, demonstrating just how quickly he picks up new skills with a little guidance and positive reinforcement.
To humans, Calvin is irresistibly cuddly and seems to think he's a lap dog despite his size. He thrives on affection and is eager to share the love with his people. Calvin would make a fantastic addition to a family ready to embrace an active and affectionate companion.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
We run by appointment, preferably all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- 1-4pm
Tues- CLOSED
Wed- 1-4pm
Thurs- 1-4pm
Fri- 1-4pm
Sat- 9am-12:30pm - Dogs Only

Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
