About Callie

Callie is a delightful petite dog weighing in at just 22 pounds. At about 2 years old, she appears to be a mix of mini Australian Shepherd and Border Collie, blessed with longer legs than her siblings. This sweet girl was previously a young mother in a hoarding situation in Texas, but she's looking forward to a brighter future. Callie may feel shy initially and tends to be cautious, but treats go a long way in helping her build confidence. She’s friendly with all dogs, both big and small, and is house trained, eagerly using the doggie door. While she enjoys her crate with a cozy blanket, Callie is a medium-energy pup who loves to snuggle on the couch. She's making good progress with leash training but will need some patience and practice. Although she isn’t the best fit for homes with cats, a respectful child aged 10 and above could be considered. Callie thrives in a quieter environment, ideally in a home without too much chaos. If you think you can provide the stable home she needs, start by filling out a meet and greet application.
