About Calliope

Meet Calliope, or Cali as she likes to be called, a sweet Australian Shepherd mix weighing about 18 pounds. She was born on January 10, 2026, and has already been approved for daycare, making her great with kids and very sociable with other dogs. Cali is potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained, which makes her a wonderful companion for an active family. A little shy at first, Cali shines once she feels comfortable. Coming from a Kentucky shelter, she hasn't had much human interaction, which is why she's looking for a home with a fully fenced yard and another dog to help her thrive. She’s spay scheduled for June 11, and her adoption fee of $500 covers her core vaccines, microchip, and necessary preventative care. Cali truly deserves a loving forever home.
