Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Updated Bio 1/13/2016 Callie is a 7 year old 7 lb. female Yorkie being fostered in Ashland City TN.
When Callie first arrived into her foster home she was so scared that she just hid quietly in a corner and stared at the wall. When she started to move around she would spin constantly. The spinning probably became a habit from living in a wire rabbit hutch cage her entire life. She had no positive human contact and had litter after litter of puppies until she was rescued. Her vet recommend that Callie take medication to help ease her anxiety. Callie has been in her foster home for almost two months now and has made so much progress. Her spinning has subsided. The only times she spins now is if she is really excited or really nervous. Outside is still a scary adventure for her and she will spin with the leash on. Foster mom is working on that. Callie still tenses up and will shake a bit when being picked up but will relax now almost immediately. She adores bathtime and she loves her hair being brushed. She also likes to wear clothes. Callie has made foster mom her person. She follows her everywhere and loves to sit in her lap and receive kisses and to be petted. She will also sleep on her chest like a baby. Callie loves her foster dog siblings she plays with them but still shows no interest in toys. Callie's ideal home would be with someone who is home most of the time. Another dog would be great and also a fenced in yard would be helpful with her potty training
Updated bio 11/23/15: Callie is a very sweet, 7 year old Yorkie girl. She is 7 pounds. Callie is being fostered in Ashland City, TN.
Callie has settled into her foster home. She had her spay and dental surgery this week. Callie lost most of her teeth and needs to be on soft dog food for the rest of her life.
Since she came from a puppy mill, Callie has had major trust issues. She is making progress, but she still is scared and tenses up when you try to pick her up. Callie has a habit of spinning around. It doesn't matter if she is in her huge playpen or out in the open. The spinning probably became a habit living in a small wire hutch cage outside for her entire life before rescue. Her foster parents are hoping that as Callie realizes she is safe the spinning will lessen and in time stop.
When her foster family isn't home she spends her time in the house in a playpen with wee wee pads, which she uses. When her foster family is home she has the run of the house. Even though she is making progress in her potty training, she still has an accident from time to time.
Callie gets along great with her foster fur siblings. She is fearful of new people, though. How could she not be after all she has gone through? She is slowly learning people won’t hurt her and she can trust them, but it will take time and love. She absolutely loves baby talk and will wag her tail and turn her body towards you to be petted. She enjoys sleeping with foster mom and dad.
Although Callie has made progress, she will need a family who understands her special needs. She is still traumatized from her years spent in the puppy mill. Callie is a beautiful Yorkie girl who deserves to live the rest of her life with love and kindness!
Initial Bio 11/6/15 Callie is a 3 year old, 6 LB Yorkie Female being fostered in Ashland City, TN
Callie’s first night away from the Animal Rescue Corp Puppy Mill rescue in Mississippi just gets better everyday. She had a quiet night in a huge room all to her self. Her foster mom leaves her cage open, turns NPR on the radio, and leaves a night-light on so she can start to feel comfortable and live the life she deserves. All she has known up to this point is life in wire rabbit cages and being exposed to the elements. Year after year she was forced to have one litter after another.
Callie now has a warm bed with clean food and water and toys to play with! She has been out to walk in the green grass and feel the gentle fall breeze on her face. Everything that she does during these first few weeks is a first for her and her foster mom marvels at her responses.
Callie is currently being treated for ear mites and has some bad teeth so she is on an antibiotic. She is going to the vet on Monday to be totally vetted so she can get the TLC that she needs. Further updates will be provided once we know more about this sweet little girl.
Since Callie is a puppy mill survivor she will need to live with a family that has teen children or older. She is very shy at the moment but her foster parents are working hard to bring her out of her shell. Time and tender loving care is just what the doctor ordered.
