Callie is a 3 year old Belgian Malinois that was dumped by her previous family pregnant & all of her puppies were adopted at the shelter but she was left behind. She is an extremely intelligent and independent girl. She is spayed, microchipped, UTD on vaccinations, crate trained, potty trained and command trained. She is very well socialized and neutral with people & dogs. She takes a while to warm up but once she does she is extremely loyal and will not leave your side. She is loyal without being co-dependent. She is also very calm for a Malinois. She loves being active and appreciates it when she gets to go out and walk/run/play but she is also good hanging out at home and chewing on her toys. Callie is currently in a foster home with 2 other dogs and 2 cats. She does great with the other dogs. She does chase the cats sometimes but she never hurts them. Callie is looking for an amazing new family that will never abandon her again! Fostered through Eddie's Heart Rescue in San Jacinto CA.
