About Callie

Adoption Fee: $25
Pit Bull mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Callie is a pibble mix who needs a better forever home. She is a very good doggo and couch potato. She's protective of her owner, loves all humans, and her aspiration in life is to lie on the couch next to you. She'd be a fine apartment dog. She's not very energetic, spends most of her time sleeping on couches or beds, and is good at holding and going out on a schedule. She's housebroken, but not crate trained. She particularly loves female humans. She's not aggressive towards people but would be a good protection dog, she has barked when there were *strangers* in the house, e.g. repairmen, though she has never tried to attack them, it's clear she would if they threatened mom. She gets along fine with men as well, but is not quite as devoted, though she does love pets and attention. She's nervous at first, but warms up quickly. What Callie Needs: - Human who loves her - Couch/bed/futon to be close to that human - Able to go out morning, afternoon, evening, and before bed What Callie Does not need: - Cats In her environment - Dogs who are bigger/bossier than her - People who are gone most of the time What's up with Callie? Callie is the laziest, cutest, most loveable derp you could imagine. She's incredibly happy to see you. Callie's home life has shifted as we've rearranged living arrangements in our household. This has caused her a lot of stress. Cats She has had to be restricted because she has problems with cats. Most of the time she is fine around them, but occasionally when they move the wrong way she identifies them as vermin and will attack them. It's rather unpredictable what triggers her. Fast motion or the cat going near her food/any food seems to be the key. This has led to a vet visit, so please don't disregard this or think your cat will be different. Callie must not be able to get to any cats, even supervised. Other Dogs In general Callie does well with other dogs who are tolerant. Recently as we've combined households there was a fight with our other large dog, but she was not the instigator. She's stubborn and likes to be near her human, and the other dog is territorial and felt she was encroaching and jumped her. If she gets in a fight she will fight back, but she's not generally aggressive towards other dogs and she got the worst of it. She plays with her brother all the time, and they wrestle and growl and there has never been any serious fighting. Tiny Humans Callie recognizes kids as humans and loves them. She's never been snappy or aggressive towards humans. She does well with a ten year old. She does tend to jump up in excitement and weighs about forty pounds, so she might overbear a very small child in enthusiasm. Why are we looking for a new home for her? The older dog has been with her mom all her life and is very attached. Callie is a 'people dog' who has had several moms over the course of her life, and done well with anyone who shows her love and affection. Callie has been with us for two years, but between not getting along with the cats and being a provocation to the older dog, she's living with a lot of restrictions on where she can go, and when, and with whom. Dogs aren't people, so unfortunately you can't just talk them into behaving how you'd like. In addition, her mom recently underwent surgery and isn't able to cuddle with her as she was previously able to. It all argues for trying to find people who can give her the home she deserves. We'd like to see her have a life where she could be the central dog, with a human or family for her to protect and love If you're interested in providing Callie with a warm, loving, home please contact us. All her shots are up to date.
