Callie - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in South Bend, Indiana

Meet Callie!
Callie is a sweet 1-year-old Shepherd mix who came to us as a stray. Now, she’s ready to leave shelter life behind and find a loving family to call her own.
Callie gets along well with other dogs and loves playing with toys and chewing on her favorite bones. She knows how to sit and is currently learning to shake paws. She also does well keeping her kennel clean when she’s let out regularly.
One thing you’ll quickly learn about Callie is that she can JUMP! This girl has some impressive height and will need a little help learning to keep all four paws on the ground. With patience, consistency, and positive training, she has so much potential to be a wonderful companion.
Callie would do best in a home without cats, with a family willing to help her continue learning and growing. In return, you’ll get a playful young dog with so much love and life ahead of her.
