About Callie

Meet Callie! This sweet 1-year-old Shepherd mix is ready to find a loving family to call her own after coming to us as a stray. Callie gets along well with other dogs and loves to play with toys and chew on her favorite bones. She knows how to sit and is currently learning to shake paws. With regular outings, she does well keeping her kennel clean. One thing you’ll quickly notice about Callie is her impressive jumping ability. She can leap quite high, so she’ll need a little help learning to keep all four paws on the ground. With patience and positive training, she has the potential to become a wonderful companion. Callie would thrive in a home without cats, especially with a family ready to help her continue learning and growing. In return, you’ll get a playful young dog full of love and life ahead of her. Callie’s already been through the uncertainty of life as a stray and deserves a chance to belong to a family. Could you be the one to give her that chance? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
