Calvin is a 12-year-old Pit Bull mix in Reading, PA who needs $2,000 for leg amputation and chemotherapy.

Calvin was adopted from a shelter at about 1 year old. He was skin and bones because his food and seasonal allergies were yet to be diagnosed, and his paws were licked raw from anxiety... yet he had nothing but smiles, wiggles, and sloppy kisses for anyone who came his way. Since I rescued him 11 years ago, Calvin has been touching lives and changing hearts everywhere he goes. He has helped me foster, rehabilitate, and rehome several rescues, comforted my grandmother through a stroke and myself through a serious injury, and has made lasting positive impressions on all of my land lords... making small but also huge changes for breed discrimination. Calvin has been through many tough break ups and moves with me, through my transitions from college into adulthood, been to different states, and literally climbed mountains and ladders to be by my side. Now I will do anything to stay by his.
