What are you waiting for? Apply today! This sweet girl is named Callie. She comes from a background where life was tough, but her resilience shines through. Rescued from a situation where she lived outdoors with little food and no vet care, Callie has now experienced the joys of a warm home, soft bed, and kind people for the first time. Though she bears some scars from her past and was quite underweight, she has shown nothing but a loving and gentle spirit. Callie quickly forms bonds with those who treat her kindly and can become a 'velcro dog,' always wanting to be close. She’s incredibly sweet and enjoys cuddling, thriving on affection. Callie walks nicely on a leash but can be somewhat reactive to other dogs, although she’s already making progress with the help of a trainer. She’s eager to please and learns quickly, but she’ll need an adopter willing to continue her positive training. When tested with cats, she appeared curious but ducked away from their hisses—so she may do best in a cat-free home or with careful introductions. She’s met a respectful child and was gentle and loving, so she could do well with children. For now, Callie is recommended as the only dog in her home, although with patience and the right circumstances, she might get along with another dog. Callie has some separation anxiety, preferring to have her people nearby, though she settles in a crate if left for a few hours. After a hard life, this lovely senior dog is ready to spend her golden years in comfort and kindness. Callie's adoption fee covers her up-to-date vaccinations, spay, and microchip, and she is located near Cortez, Colorado. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
