Meet Cali 1-year-old | Cattle Dog / German Shepherd Mix | Sensitive, Affectionate & Looking for Guidance Cali is a 1-year-old cattle dog/German shepherd mix who was surrendered due to being too rough with the other dog in the home and destructive chewing behaviors. Like many young, energetic dogs, Cali is still learning appropriate manners and would benefit from structure, training, and outlets for her energy. According to her previous owner, Cali has lived with other dogs but tends to play rough. She has not lived with cats. She is also not leash trained and may growl around new people when she feels unsure, though she has not shown biting behavior. Staff describe Cali as an incredibly affectionate and sensitive girl who seeks reassurance, hugs, and comfort from people she trusts. She can be scared and flighty, and fast movements may startle her, so she would do best in a patient, understanding home that can help her build confidence at her own pace. Cali is looking for an adopter willing to provide continued training, positive socialization, and consistency to help her succeed. Beneath her nervousness is a sweet dog who wants to feel safe, loved, and connected
