Cali, Cal Fire Cali, found herself at the doorstep of a local fire-station. A fireman contacted us because "she was too special for the shelter". Cali quickly made friends with their resident dog, and won the hearts of the firefighters. Cali was chipped but unregistered. The chip was tracked back to a local shelter who confirmed that Cali had been adopted from them as a pup. The shelter contacted that family who said they gave her to another family. That family, never returned our calls. So Cali found herself abandoned, for the third time, before she was 1-year old. Cali is VERY loving and is so happy to just be by your side.
