About Calliope

Hi, I'm new to Austin and am looking forward to meeting a foster or adopter to help show me around! My friends at APA might not know a ton about me just yet, but you could help them get valuable notes by offering to take me on a sleepover for a few days. Please stop by the shelter to meet me today!

About Corgi Dogs

Corgis are beloved small herding dogs famous for their short legs, long bodies, and big personalities. Originally bred to herd cattle in Wales, they combine a sturdy, athletic build with an adorable appearance that has made them one of the most popular breeds worldwide.

Adopting a Corgi means bringing home an intelligent, loyal companion with a great sense of humor. They are surprisingly athletic despite their short stature and love participating in family activities. Their alert, friendly nature and manageable size make them wonderful family pets.
