About Calliope
A good looking girl, Calliope, or Calli for short, is your typical fun loving, active little staffy. Her previous life appears to be one where she was used for breeding and she appears to have had several litters. She's working her way back into great shape and in no time she will trim and terrific and looking forward to a better life in a home where she is a loved family pet.
Your typical Staffy, Calli is a playful and happy-go-lucky girl who aims to please and is full of beans, and even a tad cheeky at times !
Calli is great at sharing her toys and has no issues with food with her human pals around. \ Her favourite pastime is playing fetch (not that she always returns the ball), but she enjoys herself regardless. She behaves well with children and would make a great family dog, however a home with no toddlers would be her ideal match as her exuberance and excitement may be a little too much for them at times.
A real water baby, Calli loves any time spent splashing around in her wading pool at the shelter. She can be found splashing and laying in the water on a hot day.
With Calli's past history in mind, her ideal new home would be one where she is the only dog in the home as she is not great at sharing affection and will do best in a home with her human pals and no furry friends.
As her previous purpose was to provide puppies, it appears that her previous owners did not train Calli and therefore we are working with her now to ensure she is a well mannered and obedient dog. She walks well on leash and is an intelligent girl who will work for treats, so training should not be a problem, but needs to be consistent. This training will need to continue in her new home, so her new family will need to keep this in mind and be prepared to put in a little work into ensuring she learns right from wrong and behaves in the manner expected from her. We can offer guidance and advice and also make contact with a well respected and reputable trainer/behaviouralist at Evolve Dog Training if this is something the family wishes to consider - https://www.facebook.com/EvolveDogTrainingBehaviour
Calli is a great dog and has the potential to be a perfect family pet, in a home where her family understand her past and are prepared to give her a chance and do a little work with her to bring out her best. In return she will reward you with being a loyal and loving dog and is sure to keep the family entertained for many years to come.
