Meet Calliope - Calliope is a small, sweet girl with a big heart and an even bigger need for connection. She doesn’t just want your attention—she truly cherishes it. When you spend time with her, she’ll gently reach out with her paw or softly grab your sleeve or hand, as if to say, “Please stay with me just a little longer.” It’s her way of making sure you don’t slip away from her presence. She’s wonderfully affectionate and has a charming habit of “talking” to you, sharing her feelings in soft vocalizations that make it clear she’s part of the conversation. Calliope has personality, warmth, and a quiet sweetness that shines once she feels safe. Found as a stray alongside a friend, we believe Calliope will do well in a home with other dogs. She arrived a bit underweight, but she’s already on her way to a healthier, happier body as she gains weight nicely in our care. What she needs most is someone willing to return the love she’s so eager to give—someone who will let her stay close, feel secure, and finally understand she doesn’t have to reach for affection anymore... it’s here to stay
