Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Say hello to Callie — a fluffy, tri-colored Shepherd mix puppy who is equal parts adorable and easygoing. For a puppy her age, she's remarkably calm and settled, with just the right amount of short, zoomie-fueled bursts to remind you she's still very much a baby.

Callie is already a crate superstar — sleeping through naps and overnight without a fuss, which is no small feat at her age. Potty training is coming right along too, and she's putting in the work every day.

She shares her foster home with an adult dog, and the two have a sweet dynamic — Callie adores her and trails her around the yard hoping for a play session, but she's already learning to read the room and respect when it's not playtime. That kind of social awareness in a young puppy is a wonderful sign.

The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family.
