CALLIE

My story

Hello out there! My name is Callie (Vaquita or 'little cow' in Mexico) and you can learn more about me here: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Fox terrier/Border Collie mix Age: 4 years 2 months approx.  Gender: Female Weight: 28lbs (14 kg)  Height: 60cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 60cm (head to butt) Current Location: Mexico City, Mexico RESCUE STORY - About three years ago, I was rescued with 36 other pups from some rough conditions in a kill shelter. All of us were crammed inside a large kennel with limited food and water, begging to get out...My rescuer said her heart was broken into a thousand pieces. Thankfully, she managed to barter for our freedom and saved us. Now all of the other 36 pups have found loving homes - except me! I'm the last one! Will you be the lucky family to complete our happy ending?  TEMPERAMENT - My rescuer describes me as a 'piece of cake' (yum!). That means I'm an easy and low energy pup. After all I've been through, I can be a bit reserved at first and I do take some time to warm up to hoomans. But once I do, I am a velcro doggo who only wants to be cuddled and in your arms! I can be a bit nervous and shy by nature so I would probably do best with a family without young kids. I also like to have my own space where I can recharge my batteries (like any good introvert). With some understanding and patience, I will be the goodest and most loving doggo, I promise.  ENERGY LEVEL - Low/Medium GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – As a bit of a nervous pup I'd do better in a home without kids. Dogs – I get along well with other pups and currently live with many other doggos! Cats – Yes! I am pretty indifferent to cats as you can see here and here.   PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – I do okay on a leash as you can see here however I will need some additional patience and training. A double leash (with a secure harness) is recommended when I go for walks as I can get nervous in new environments and may be a flight risk. House trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience.  Crate trained – My rescuer says I am not so familiar with this and I may need some additional training and patience.  Car rides – My rescuer says I am not so familiar with this and I may need some additional training and patience.  Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  HEALTH NOTES:  I am spayed and vaccinated. NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work/cleaning after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter. ADOPTION FEE: My adoption fee is $728.00 CAD including tax (5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and it's adoption process.
