Caliope

My story

this sweet 2 yr old heeler is currently fostered in Greeneville Tn. Relinquished to the shelter by her owners, she is now decompressing and will be medically assessed. Very sweet with her foster, we will be posting more pix and info as she unfolds!! Update**For Callie: Callie (Calliope) HERE'S your shorty morty! You want cute? She might just be too cute for you cause she is cuu-uuu-ute for real! This short-legged heeler mix loves attention and is quick to point out changes in your environment. She will let you know when your neighbors get a new car, or if someone rearranged the furniture in the living room. While she is playful and happy to have a little run around, she's also a good snuggle bug. It took a few days to come out of her shell and engage in play for her foster mom and foster siblings. When she has a complaint, she will tell you. She will also show you how happy she is to sit with you (or on you, as the case may be!) She has so much love to give, at times it seems to just overflow from her. She does not like strangers handling her, so in home vet and grooming might be best if possible. Or, at least a vet that will do exams with her human present to hold her might work. She was relinquished after her first humans had to go in a senior care setting. I fear her human(s) went downhill slowly in their ability to care for her, because she came in with a full body skin infection. She is now helaed and happy!

I cant express enough how special this girl is and how she appreciates being loved.
