Callie 🌼

Who am I?......
Callie is my name, and I'm a 2 year old Boxer x Staffy (although I do look more Ridgeback than anything else).

My Personality.....
I'm a super playful and happy girl who's always up for a game! If you throw me a toy to fetch, I'll certainly chase after it, but I'll probably come back without it! Some more training required there.....I have good recall, will sit on command and love to shake hands! Going for walks is fun but I would be best off with a Halti or similar as I do tend to pull on the lead with excitement. I enjoy the company of other friendly dogs around my size or bigger, but I haven't been tested with smaller dogs just yet. I love going on adventures in the car and am very well behaved when travelling (you won't even know I'm there). You'll also be happy to know that I'm not a 'nuisance barker'. I'll let you know if someone is hanging around, but you won't receive any noise complaints. During my time in foster care, I've been an outside dog and I cope quite well. There is plenty of room under the pergola for me to hang out if it's raining and I have a nice cosy kennel to sleep in at night.

My Foster home.....
As previously mentioned, I'm the only dog in my Foster home, but there are 2 cats that live inside the home. I'm ALOT bigger than them, so I did use that to my advantage by barking at them through the door when I first arrived....until the foster cat decided to spit at me through the door! Cats are now quite scary creatures....Whilst I cope quite well on my own, I would need plenty of chew toys, bones and other things to keep me occupied if you need to go to work, otherwise the dog beds and washing on the line might just get a little makeover...My people are my world and that includes the kids of the family, although sometimes my excitement to see them is a little overwhelming at first. My tail wag shows just how happy I am to see you.

I’m looking for.....
A home with another medium to large friendly dog who enjoys playing as much as I do, would be ideal. Having a companion dog in my Forever home may also help to curve my chewing behaviour. I will need a medium to large yard with height appropriate and secure fencing, but I'm also not an escape artist. I will need a family who is confident with training large dogs, so that they can continue on with my lead training and teach me new tricks and commands......I love nothing more than to please my humans.

I’m currently in care in Killarney Vale on the Central Coast NSW and ready to head off to my new home now 💕
