Story
Meet Momma Callie
Please don’t forget about Callie. She may not be the dog who rushes up first, but she is the one who stays with you forever.
Callie is a 2-year-old Blue Heeler mix who came to us after landing in an overcrowded Houston shelter with her newborn puppies. Completely overwhelmed and shut down, she did the very best she could for her babies. Thanks to a wonderful foster in Houston, Callie and her pups were finally able to decompress, heal, and feel safe.
After a brief setback with hair loss and crusty skin that required treatment, the little family made their way to Colorado. All of Callie’s puppies have now found fosters or adopters — and at last, it’s Callie’s turn to be the one cared for.
Callie is shy at first and cautious with new people, animals, and busy environments. But once she feels safe, her walls come down and her goofy side is exposed. She blossoms into a happy, bouncy, silly girl who loves to play and explore. If you take a moment to look into her eyes, you’ll see wisdom and experiences far beyond her years — stories we’ll never fully know, but that have shaped her gentle soul.
With slow, proper introductions, Callie does well with other dogs. She’s also becoming more comfortable with the resident cats and will likely do well in a home with a cat given time and patience. Callie would also do well with older, respectful children who understand how to give her space as she builds trust.
Callie is housetrained, crate trained, walks nicely on leash, and loads right into the car. She enjoys exploring and has excellent recall once bonded. She does have a touch of escape-artist energy, so a secure fence is important. Callie has been spayed — no more babies for this sweet momma.
Callie needs a calm, patient home that understands shy dogs and allows her to build confidence at her own pace. In return, she will give you deep loyalty, quiet devotion, and the kind of love that grows stronger every day.
Please don’t overlook Callie. She’s been waiting — and she’s ready to finally be chosen.
