My name is Calliope!

Calliope 

2 years, spayed female, 32 lbs

Terrier mix

Calliope is an old soul trapped in a dog's body. If you look her in the eyes, you will understand. She is an interesting long-and-low variety with scruffy brindled hair. She LOVES playing with other dogs and needs a home with another young playful dog (bigger or smaller than her is just fine - she will wear them out). 

LIKES: Playing with other dogs (wrestle, tug of war, zoomie races), treats, greeting her humans, a soft snuggly spot on the couch.

DISLIKES: Strangers, especially men. Loud noises like fireworks or hammers, motorcycles, etc. 

PERSONALITY TRAITS: Calliope has experienced some abuse in her past and is wary in some situations. When she sees a male-presenting human she will run and hide. She will also hide when visitors come into her home. She freezes in a corner or hiding spot, but will let you pick her up. She took about a week to trust the man in her foster home, and has learned to appreciate the fact that he feeds her. She "roo-roos" at him (she can be a talker) when she wants breakfast or dinner. She loves walks and exploring new places with a trusted person and she is very quiet and polite in the car and will jump in on her own. She has decent recall in the yard at her foster home when she knows a treat is involved, and she knows how to "sit". 

CRATE TRAINING: She will happily go into a crate for a treat and settles down without any fuss.

POTTY TRAINING: 100% potty trained in her foster home

OTHER/MISC: Calliope needs a securely fenced yard as she is more comfortable pottying freely than on leash. She is going to need someone who is willing to give her some time to trust. Calliope is fine with cats.
