Callie

Who will offer a retirement home to a “gentle, sweet, and truly wonderful dog who has never had the chance to be loved”?

Callie was born c. 2013, is partially sighted, 20kg, neutered, and in a private shelter in Serbia.

Callie is looking for people who will be patient and supportive and kind, and not expect too much of her, as she has never had a home before and has known so little love. A home where she just has short walks, lots cuddles and a warm bed. Please.

Callie has had a very, very hard life. She spent almost her entire life on the streets, kicked and mistreated and sleeping on cold concrete. Two years ago, she was hit by a car and broke her pelvis and hip. A local rescuer took her to the vet where she had surgery (a femoral head excision).

Thankfully Callie recovered well. She has a slightly odd gait: she swings one leg slightly, but she happily trots along on her lead on short walks. A recent vet check showed that Callie has the beginning of cataracts, and her teeth are quite worn down, otherwise she is in good health for a golden oldie.

Callie is in a private shelter with 40 other dogs, safe and fed. But her rescuer is desperate for her to find a home of her own. Callie was once friends with another street dog called Model, who (as some of you might remember) found happiness through BDRUK. Callie’s rescuer would love Callie to have a happy ending too.

Callie’s rescuer tells us she is cheerful, calm and gentle, very friendly and loves human attention. Callie spends most of the day resting and loves to be stroked. She travelled well in the car to the vets and walks nicely on a lead.

“Such a lovely soul – whenever someone approaches her, she rolls over on her back, just wanting to be cuddled.”

Callie is good with other dogs. She recently had an overnight stay in a home environment in preparation for her photoshoot. She met the resident dogs with no issues.

Callie was also introduced to a cat, but showed little interest. Instead, she wandered off to the kitchen to have a look around. Callie was very calm during the night, slept well and didn’t touch anything in the house.

Callie is a wise old soul with a lovely grey muzzle, oldie’s eyebrows and her amazing fluffy socks. Her nickname is Cupka meaning fluffy, and we can see why.

Can you help us find Callie a home of her own?
