Callie

Callie is ready for her forever home. <br/>This sweet girl has been through more than most dogs should ever have to endure, but despite everything, she remains one of the most loving, affectionate dogs you'll ever meet.<br/><br/>Callie came to FPS a few months ago after being surrendered from a property with numerous intact dogs, none of whom had ever received veterinary care. It was immediately clear that life had been incredibly hard on her. Her body was covered in scars, along with fresh wounds from recent fights. She appeared to have spent much of her life fending off male dogs and protecting herself and her puppies. Physically, she showed all the signs of having been bred repeatedly throughout her life.<br/><br/>When we took Callie, her daughter, and her grandpuppies to be spayed and neutered, we knew we couldn't send her back to that life. While other rescues stepped up to help the puppies and her daughter, Callie stayed with us to begin her own journey toward healing.<br/>Since then, she's been through multiple veterinary appointments, treatment for a skin infection, and surgery to remove several growths, including one that was cancerous. She had several rotten and painful teeth that also1 needed to be removed. She's now spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and nearing the end of her recovery. Her final suture removal is scheduled for June 10.<br/><br/>When Callie first arrived, she had likely spent her entire life outdoors. Her stomach was literally full of garbage from scavenging to survive. Living in a home was completely new to her, but she adapted quickly. After only a few accidents while learning the routine, she settled in beautifully.<br/><br/>What we've learned about Callie is that she absolutely loves people. She craves affection, enjoys being close to her humans, and is happiest when she's part of the family. Peanut butter is her favorite thing in the world, followed closely by mealtime in general. At a little over 50 pounds and approximately 89 years old, she's still got plenty of love left to give.<br/><br/>When she first came into foster care, Callie was reactive toward other dogs. Given her history, that's not surprising. With the help of a trainer and a lot of patient work between surgeries and recovery periods, she has made tremendous progress. I'm attaching a video of Callie with three other dogs I have here. She is doing so well.<br/><br/>We believe that with continued consistency, structure, and careful introductions, she can continue to succeed around other dogs.<br/><br/>Interestingly, Callie has been calm and mostly indifferent around adult cats. She has shown a little jealousy when attention was given to foster kittens, so we're still learning exactly how she feels about sharing her people with feline friends.<br/><br/>Most of all, Callie needs someone who understands that she's learning things now that many dogs learn as puppies. She needs patience, kindness, and a family willing to give her time to continue building confidence and trust.<br/><br/>For the first time in her life, Callie knows what it's like to sleep in a warm bed, eat regular meals, receive medical care, and be loved simply for being herself. We want the rest of her life to be filled with comfort, security, and all the things she's gone without for far too long.<br/><br/>No more breeding. No more fighting. No more scavenging for food. No more surviving.<br/>Just love.<br/><br/>If you're interested in learning more about Callie, please message us. Callie's adoption fee through For Pets' Sake is $150 and includes all her vaccinations up to the date of adoption, spay, and microchip. We may wave her adoption fee for the right adopter.
