Meet Callie!
A spirited almost two-year-old Shetland Sheepdog currently living in New Hope, PA, whose essence is pure sparkle wrapped in a tri-colored coat. This high-energy girl thrives on connection, play, and structure, and she's looking for a new loving home where her vibrant personality can shine.
Callie is deeply devoted to her inner circle—once she bonds with you, you’ll have a loyal, fun-loving companion who lives to play, learn, and engage in family life. She's no lap dog, but she does love to curl up nearby when the day winds down, soaking in the calm after her daily adventures. She’s a whiz with cues like “sit” and “place” and is currently mastering the charming trick of putting her toys away—yes, really!
Her favorite activities include herding her interactive ball with a fabric stick like a four-legged hockey champ, playing tug-of-war, chasing frisbees, and sniffing out hidden treats in the grass during a game of “find it.” Callie is incredibly smart and finds joy in challenges—especially when treats and praise are involved!
Callie can be shy with new people and prefers a no-fuss introduction. She’s not a fan of strangers reaching in for a quick pat; she'd much rather you play it cool while she decides if you're friend material. Once you’re in, though, you're golden!
She enjoys staying at her dog sitter’s home, especially once she’s had a moment to warm up. There, she plays happily with other dogs in a secure yard. A fenced yard and a confident canine buddy in her future home would really help her feel safe and settled.
Callie has a luxating patella in her back left leg that occasionally needs monitoring and rest, and she responds best to patient, positive guidance—especially from someone familiar with her sensitive, intelligent breed.
Are you ready to welcome this quick-witted, toy-tidying, heart-stealing Sheltie into your family and daily life?
