My story

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

🐶Meet Cali 🐶
Hi, I'm Cali! I'm an 8-9 week old puppy weighing about 12 lbs. I bet you're wondering what kind of dog I am, so I hope you're looking deep into my big brown puppy dog eyes when I tell you this: the shelter in Texas said my mom was a Mountain Cur. My foster mom on the other hand, isn't so sure. She said it's okay though because the right fit will love me for me, no matter my breed.

Now, back to my eyes. Are you looking at them thinking "oh my goodness that is the sweetest little girl and I just want to cuddle her?" It's probably because it's true. I am the sweetest girl, and I love to be cuddled. Sometimes my foster mom tries to get chores done and when I make a sad little puppy face she can't resist me. So, I'm hopeful I will find someone who loves to love on me and maybe lets me sneak on the couch for some cuddles too.

In addition to being a great cuddler, I am also the queen of tug o war. Maybe my foster siblings let me win, maybe I'm just that great. I think it's probably the later. Also on the list of things I'm great at: using my training pads. I am 95% accurate with using my potty pads. I take great pride in being a good girl for my foster family.

My greatest attribute is no doubt my sweet demeanor, but I am so much more than that. I'm a puppy, so I'm teething, and I need someone who will play with me to keep me stimulated. I am a big fan of enrichment toys and I can keep myself busy too. I sleep well in my pen and I love cuddling up with a good blanket and a stuffy at night time.

I'm just a girl looking for my people. I know you're out there somewhere, and I would love to show you how great I really am. Can you see me fitting into your family (again, look into my eyes)?
