My name is Cali 3267!

10/30/24.   5-year-old CALI was such a good sport, letting me put different costumes on him. He is such a sweet boy who has been through so much and really deserves a loving, kind foster/adopter. He is good with older children and calm, non-threatening dogs. Please, let's help CALI find his home.

9/24/24  Hi everybody, my name is CALI and I really NEED your help finding my forever family or a foster until I can find my family.  I love everyone I meet, am good with children and like most other dogs.

A bit about my backstory - I was owned by a terrible man who gave me an awful derogatory name and would just open a 40lb bag of food and throw it on the ground for me to eat. I lived outside and was never given bowls for food or water. Neighbors complained that they saw my owner hit me. One day he threw me over the electric fence (said I was too much of a wussy) and told the neighbor he would make sure I couldn't re-enter. Luckily a kindly neighbor who heard what happened came looking for me and I jumped right in her car. She tried to find me a home for a few years but unfortunately had no luck and as she was in financial duress herself finally called Doberman rescue where I am now. As I have lived most of my life outside, I will need some training but I am smart and really want to please so will learn quickly if given the chance. I like most other dogs but with my previous owner there were sometimes roaming packs of wild dogs that scared me. That's why I am very stressed at the kennel and need a sheet on my run and it's hard for me to gain weight despite upping my food intake. On my way down here I stayed overnight with a previous DRL adopter and her family. She said I was a very good boy with her 4 other dogs (even the little one) and all her children.
