My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Age: 4 months

Size: 15 lbs

Estimated breed: Cattle Dog/Shiba Inu mix

Update from my foster 5/30: Cali is such a sweet, fun, puppy! She was blessed with beauty and brains together - I call her my little red panda. She has picked up on potty training super quickly and sleeps through the night in her crate without any accidents. She absolutely adores other dogs and has the sweetest, most submissive approach to meeting new ones - she crawls up to them on her belly, tail wagging a mile a minute, with a nervous little smile on her face. She desperately wants to make friends with every dog she sees and is able to win most of them over with her winning approach! She’s best buddies with foster brother Jude and is quite the little spitfire, nipping at his heels and telling him off anytime he steals one of her toys. Cali is an absolute joy to have as a foster and will fit into any kind of home as long as they have a resident doggie friend for her to play with.

Cali and her siblings were found living on the streets of Texas, where homeless dogs are too many to count and shelters are already dangerously overcapacity. It's clear these puppies were born and raised as strays, as they were so shy and timid with people. Their luck turned around when good samaritans picked them up and kept them safe until we could fly them up to PA to begin looking for their forever homes!

Cali is around 11 weeks old and weighs 10 lbs. We are guessing she is a cattle dog/carolina dog mix, but since we don't know who her parents are we can't say for sure. Cali is a shy girl who is learning people aren't so scary. She's much braver than her brother Canelo and is helping show him the ropes in their foster home. She adores other dogs and will need to go to a home with at least one friendly resident pup! She loves to run and play with her doggie foster siblings in the yard and is discovering how fun toys can be. With time, patience, training, and plenty of love, Cali will blossom into a confident young girl!

Additional adoption info

Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Nirvana Animal Rescue! Our adoption process is in place to ensure we find you the perfect match. The process includes the following steps:

Submission of online application.

Volunteer review of your application, including a background check on all adults living in the home, checking personal references, contacting your landlord if you rent, and contacting your veterinarian if you have current pets.

Phone interview with a volunteer to discuss the answers on your online application, share more information about Nirvana Animal Rescue, and answer any questions you have.

Virtual home visit with a volunteer to review your home and yard and ensure it is a safe environment for a dog.

If your application passes the above steps, the final step is arranging a time for your entire family, including resident dogs, to meet the dog you’d like to adopt! We require that everyone in the family meet the new dog before fully approving the adoption.
