Meet Callie: Your Sweet Little Shadow If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you completely—Callie is all in. Callie isn’t just happy to see you—she wants to be part of your world, right by your side, wherever life takes you. At just 1 year old and approximately 12 lbs, this Shih Tzu mix is a petite, perfectly portable companion—the perfect blend of playful energy and affectionate closeness. About Callie Callie is a joyful, affectionate, and incredibly social little dog who truly loves people. She’s the kind of pup who greets the world with enthusiasm—tail wagging, ready for attention, and very willing to roll over for a belly rub (her absolute favorite move!). She bonds quickly and deeply, and once she chooses you… you’ve got a best friend for life. It’s no surprise people start calling her a cuddlebug almost immediately—Callie absolutely loves being held, snuggled, and close to her people. -Loves everyone—men, women, and children -Happy, upbeat, and full of personality -A true cuddle bug who loves being held -Expert-level belly rub enthusiast (she will flip over instantly!) -Loves giving hugs and kisses -Enjoys soft toys and cozy, fluffy beds She brings a really special mix of playful energy and affectionate connection—she’ll happily play, explore, and then settle right in beside you. Training & Manners Callie has a great foundation and is ready to transition smoothly into a home: -Potty trained on a schedule -Fully house trained -Crate trained (if needed) -Walks nicely on leash She’s very intelligent and tuned in to her people, which makes her both fun to engage with and responsive to guidance. Callie’s Clever Side (and What That Means for Her Home) Callie is a smart and determined little girl—especially when it comes to being near her people. She has shown she can climb or squeeze through smaller fencing if she feels separated, so she’ll do best in a home where she isn’t left alone outside or where fencing is very secure. The important part? This isn’t about running away—it’s about wanting to be close to her person. Callie thrives when she’s included and nearby, and she’s happiest living life alongside you. Her Perfect Home Callie will thrive in a home where she can be close to her people and included in everyday life. She’d especially love: -Someone home often or a flexible schedule -A family who enjoys affection, cuddles, and connection -Regular walks, playtime, and interaction -A secure environment (and not being left alone outside) -Because of her small size a home with older children or adults who understand small dogs require gentle handling would be best. She’s adaptable, loving, and ready to form a deep bond with her person or family. The Bottom Line Callie is the kind of dog people don’t forget: - Affectionate and deeply loyal -Social and loves everyone she meets -Playful, fun, and full of personality -A true “velcro dog” who wants to be by your side Callie is ready to find her person—and be right by your side for everything that comes next.

Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on-time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will be updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport. We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport! This dog is currently being fostered at our Rescue Ranch near Houston, TX.
