Callie is a very sweet but sensitive girl. She is looking for a home with rescue dog experience that will give her space and time to settle. She will need time to adjust and be allowed to take things at her pace. Once she has a bond with you she is a very loyal and loving dog that enjoys cuddling in and getting her neck scratched.

Type of home needed

Callie will benefit from living in a quiet home with few visitors. She gets frustrated when she sees other dogs or strangers so would benefit from walking in quiet areas to continue her training. She could live with the right dog if carefully introduced. She needs a hands off home that will train her using positive reward based methods. She loves playing scent games that keep her mind busy! She will need someone around for most of the day initially.

More about me

Callie needs a secure private garden with a 6ft fence. This will help with her training as well as allowing her somewhere to burn off some energy. She will need to be kept on lead when in public places. She is loooking to meet her new owner multiple times to build a bond before going home, this will give you time to see her wonderful personality.

How rehoming works

Thank you for your interest in Callie, who is based at Glasgow. Please note this is not a reservation on this dog. To start the rehoming process you will need to go to a rehoming centre for a quick chat. Please find information below about what to expect during the rehoming process. We hope to see you soon.

The average time between visiting a Rehoming Centre and taking your new pet home is just eight days. Every circumstance is different but this brief guide lets you know what you will experience when you decide to rehome a dog from us.

The rehoming centre is your gateway to finding your new pet pooch. When you arrive at the centre you will be greeted in reception by a friendly face.

During this first visit we will take a few details from you so we know what you are looking for. You will be able to visit the dogs and we'll advise you on how to find the right dog for your circumstance and that your circumstances will work for the dog too.

We would like you to get to know your chosen dog before you take him home so, if you have any other dogs or family members, you may need to bring them along for a further visit to ensure the whole family is happy with the decision.

The fee for rehoming a dog is £150 (£140 in Ballymena due to extra dog licence fees), but every dog is vet checked, microchipped, and neutered as well as a very cool Dogs Trust lead and collar - so we think it's a good deal!

On rehoming your new dog from Dogs Trust you will receive 4 weeks' free insurance from our partner Petplan, this covers your dog for any unexpected illnesses and injuries, for further details and to activate your 4 weeks' free trial visit the Petplan website.

So now you are ready to take your new pal home, just one more step which is a pre-adoption talk. This ensures you are aware of the responsibilities of dog ownership and reminds you that we are always here when you need us!
