Callie

Callie is a 9-year-old sweetheart who joined us after losing her elderly owner. She arrived a bit heavier than ideal and needed a toe removed, but she handled her surgery like a champ! She's now on a slow, steady weight-loss journey with a goal of reaching 60 pounds, and she's making great progress, losing about a pound a month.

When Callie first came to us, she needed some space and time to adjust. But slowly? She bloomed! She figured out the dog door, made friends with the other dogs (even deeming Lila "obnoxious but acceptable"), discovered the joy of toys, and now proudly participates in squirrel patrol and evening armadillo hunts. Callie walks nicely, though slowly, on leash and prefers backyard play for exercise. She's good with other dogs when properly introduced and will use her "big-girl growl" to ask for space if needed. She loves squeaky toys and can guard them a bit, but she responds well to guidance and has shown no signs of aggression. She's been great with tweens and may chase cats.

Ideal Home

Callie would thrive in a home that can provide her with a calm environment and continue her weight-loss journey. While she's good with other dogs when introduced properly, and has been great with tweens, she hasn't been cat tested and may chase them.

Ongoing Health

Callie has a permanently "dead" tail from an old injury and a little arthritis, which is managed with medication. She may need occasional help with hygiene as she continues to slim down.

Training & Support

Callie has lovely house manners and politely asks to go outside. She is slow to warm up, but once she does, her quiet affection feels like a gift. She can guard her squeaky toys a bit, but responds well to guidance.
