Meet Cali! A 43-pound sweetheart with a gentle spirit and a big heart. Cali can be a little cautious at first and does best with slow, patient introductions to new people and dogs. Once she feels safe, her warm and affectionate personality shines through. She’s a food-motivated girl who adores all kinds of treats and enjoys playing with a few favorite toys. Cali has previously lived with a cat and did well, making her a great fit for a calm, understanding home. With kindness, structure, and a little time to settle in, Cali blossoms into a loyal and loving companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive dog who just wants to feel secure and loved, Cali may be the perfect match. This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition?
