About Callie

Callie is a 6-year-old Border Collie seeking a forever home. She spent her early years on a farm, used for protection and breeding, and now she’s ready to enjoy life as a beloved companion. Unlike many dogs of her breed, Callie has a calm demeanor and is a bit timid, a reflection of her past. Since joining her foster family, she has embraced the joys of petting and snuggling up to her humans. When her foster mom tends to the yard, Callie is right there, supervising with her adorable flopping ears. She’s potty and crate trained, often retreating to her kennel for some quiet time. Callie enjoys watching the world go by from a window and has a fondness for hot dog treats. She's shown promise in learning commands quickly, especially when snacks are involved. While she would thrive in a tranquil environment without young children, she's met other dogs and been friendly, suggesting she could share her home with a calmer canine companion. Callie comes with her adoption fee of $500, covering her spay, microchip, vaccines, and preventative care. If you think she could be your new best friend, don’t hesitate to reach out!
