Meet Calliope. Calliope is a small, sweet girl with a big heart and a genuine longing for companionship. She doesn’t just seek attention—she values it deeply. Spend a bit of time with her and she’ll softly reach out with her paw or tug at your sleeve as if she can’t quite let you go. It’s her gentle way of letting you know she wants to be close. She’s notably affectionate and communicates in soft, endearing vocalizations, always letting you know she appreciates being part of your world. Once Calliope feels safe, her warmth and quiet sweetness come through. Having been found as a stray alongside another dog, she has shown she’ll likely thrive in the company of other dogs. She came to the shelter a little underweight but is making good progress. Above all, Calliope is searching for someone ready to offer back the affection she so freely gives—a person willing to let her stick close, feel safe, and learn that comfort isn’t fleeting.
