Calvin

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Calvin & Rosso are two brothers who have been in the Canile since June 2018. They have seen many of their fellow dogs come and go, and have spent eight long years waiting for their families. Despite the challenges faced by older and sick dogs, they are two dogs who deserve and desperately need a family. Calvin & Rosso have both tested positive for Leishmaniasis and are treated with Allopurinol depending on their symptoms. Unfortunately, the comune does not provide funding for the necessary regular blood tests to monitor their condition and potentially treat them with Milteforan or Domperidon. This denies them a highly effective treatment that would give them more life and quality of life. Leishmaniasis - no panic! While the disease is certainly frightening, dogs with this infection or disease can reach a normal lifespan with timely detection and optimal treatment. Both boys are extremely friendly, have no fear of people and actively seek contact. Two very sweet companions, whom fate has not yet treated well. We wish the brothers loving families who can show them the world beyond the bars before it's too late. For questions about our protégés or if you would like to offer Calvin and/or Rosso a place as a family member in a foster home or forever home, please contact: . You will receive an email with our general information on the placement process or foster care and our self-assessment form.

Im Juni 2026 werden es 8 Jahre, seitdem die beiden Brüder im Canile aufgenommen wurden. 8 Jahre in denen sie die Hoffnung nicht aufgegeben, viele Artgenossen kommen und auch gehen sehen haben und es sind 8 lange Jahre, in denen auch beide auf ihre Familien gewartet und gehofft haben. Auch wenn es ganz besonders die älteren und kranken Hunde sehr, sehr schwer haben, wenigstens einmal in ihrem Leben in eine Familie aufgenommen zu werden, so sind gerade SIE es, die es so sehr verdient haben und so dringend brauchen. Calvin & Rosso wurden beide positiv auf die Leishmaniose getestet und werden je nach Symptomatik mit Allopurinol behandelt. Für die so dringend notwendigen, regelmäßigen Blutuntersuchungen zur Kontrolle und der u.U. auch notwendigen Behandlung mit Milteforan bzw. Domperidon steht kein Geld von der comune zur Verfügung. So wird den Hunden eine sehr wirksame und effektive Behandlungsmöglichkeit vorenthalten, die ihnen mehr Lebenszeit und Lebensqualität schenken würde. Leishmaniose – keine Panik bitte! Auch wenn die Krankheit natürlich einen gewissen Schrecken mit sich bringt, so können inzwischen auch Hunde mit dieser Infektion bzw. Erkrankung bei rechtzeitiger Erkennung und optimaler Behandlung ein ganz normales Lebensalter erreichen. Beide Jungs sind absolut zutraulich, haben keine Scheu vor Menschen und suchen aktiv den Kontakt. Zwei ganz liebe Zeitgenossen, mit denen es das Schicksal bisher noch nicht gut gemeint hat. Wie wünschen uns für die Brüder liebvolle Familien, die ihnen die Welt auf der anderen Seite des Gitters zeigen, bevor es irgendwann zu spät sein wird. Bei Fragen zu unseren Schützlingen, oder aber wenn Sie CALVIN und/oder ROSSO einen Platz als Familienmitglied auf einer Pflegestelle oder Endstelle anbieten möchten, dann melden Sie sich bitte bei: . Sie erhalten dann per Mail im ersten Schritt unsere allgemeinen Infos zum Vermittlungsablauf bzw. zur Pflegestellentätigkeit und unser Formular zur Selbstauskunft.

About Calvin

What life with Calvin looks like

Calvin is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at SardinienHunde e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Calvin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Calvin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SardinienHunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Calvin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Calvin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SardinienHunde e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Calvin already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Calvin isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SardinienHunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Calvin and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
