Calypso located in VA - Dutch Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Imlay City, Michigan

Meet Calypso
7 Months Old | Dutch Shepherd | Foster or Adopter Needed

At just 7 months old, Calypso should have been learning about the world, playing with toys, and discovering how to be a beloved family member. Instead, she spent much of her young life confined to a porch, where concerned neighbors ultimately stepped in after noticing she was being left outside for prolonged periods.

Now safe with us, Calypso is getting the fresh start she deserves.

Like many puppies who haven't had the opportunity to learn, Calypso is still working on her manners. She's a teenage Dutch Shepherd with plenty of energy, curiosity, and intelligence—but very little guidance so far. She'll need an experienced handler who understands working breeds and is excited to channel her drive into training, structure, and positive experiences.

This isn't a dog who's "broken"—she's simply a puppy who missed out on the foundation every dog deserves.

With patience, consistency, and leadership, we know Calypso has the potential to grow into an incredible companion. Dutch Shepherds thrive when they're given a job, clear expectations, and a person committed to helping them succeed.

We're looking for a foster or adopter who:


Has experience with working breeds or high-drive dogs
Can provide structure, training, and consistency
Is ready to help a deserving young dog discover what life as a loved family member is all about


Calypso has her whole future ahead of her. She's looking for someone willing to invest the time now so she can become the amazing dog she's meant to be.

Could that person be you?

Apply to foster or adopt today and help Calypso leave her past behind for good.

All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and 6 month subscription.
