S*x: Female
Age: ~7 weeks

Fostered in: Innisfil, ON

🐾 About Me:

Hi, I’m Callie! 🖤 I’m a sweet little girl with beautiful black-and-white colouring, four adorable white-tipped paws, and a white-tipped tail!

I’m an easygoing, loving puppy with a giant heart and a tail that never stops wagging. I love being around people and other animals, and I’m always happy to make a new friend. Whether I’m cuddled up in your arms, snuggled beside you, or following you around to see what you’re doing, I’m happiest when I’m close to my people. And of course, I’m always ready to give you lots of sweet puppy kisses! 🥰

💕 Personality: Gentle, affectionate, curious, smart & playful.

🐶 Training & Behaviour:

I’m a clever little girl who loves learning, especially when yummy treats are involved! I’m curious about the world around me and enjoy playing fetch with a ball.

I have the typical happy, playful puppy energy, but I also have a wonderfully calm side and love a good nap. 😴

I’m still working on my housetraining, so I’ll need a consistent routine, patience, and positive reinforcement. Like all puppies, I’ll also need continued training, socialization, and guidance as I grow into the very best girl I can be.

🏡 Good With: Dogs, bunnies, children, and people of all ages! I love everyone and am always excited to make new friends.

❤️ What I Need:

I’m looking for a loving forever home where I can enjoy plenty of cuddles, playtime, naps, and quality time with my people. My family will need to be committed to helping me grow into a well-mannered, confident girl through consistent training, socialization, and a regular routine.

In return, I promise to fill your life with endless tail wags, puppy kisses, and so much love!

✨ Fun Fact:

I have a hilarious way of crawling with my back legs sprawled out behind me! Think of me as a tiny seal in a puppy suit. 😂🖤

🏡 Could I be your new best friend?

I’m ready to find my forever family and share all the love in my little heart. Could that be you? ❤️

She’s looking for someone who appreciates a little shadow following them around, a warm lap companion, and endless kitten purrs!

🐾 Good With: Other cats (tested). Dogs have not been assessed but she will likely be great with kids :)

🐶 Good with dogs: Not tested

👧 Good with children: Older, calm children who understand her visual impairment and respect her need for a peaceful environment may be suitable.

❤️ Personality: Extremely affectionate, cuddly, people-oriented, and loving

🚽 Litter trained: Yes

🏥 Medical Information
✅ Spayed on May 2, 2026
