About Callie

Callie is a seven-month-old spayed female who came to the rescue from a home where her mom, a shepherd-Pyrenees mix, was taken in as a stray. Callie is a tri-colored mix—brown, black, and white—with a short coat. Despite her lineage, she's on the smaller side for a retriever mix, weighing in at just 37 pounds at the time of her spay. Since February 2026, Callie has been fully vaccinated, including rabies and Bordetella, and cleared of heartworms. She's easy to like: smart, friendly, and affectionate, but not overwhelming. Her energy strikes a nice balance—active enough for play, calm enough to relax. Callie is still learning the ropes of house training and will do best with adopters who can provide gentle guidance. She gets along well with other dogs and is good with children, making her a versatile addition for many families. Callie is available in Texarkana, TX, with transport options to select cities.
