Callie

Callie was found on the streets by a good samaritan. She's a doll. Gets along with everyone & loves to give kisses. Oh and she's so much fun to bathe. Loves to be washed & shake her bootie in the water! Anyone would be blessed to have this girl in their home.

Information related to Callie: If one of the "underdogs" of the animal shelter world is the mixed-breed black dog, then black American Pit Bull Terriers are the ultimate underdogs. Sadly, over the last several decades “Pit Bulls” have gone from being the family pet of choice to facing wide spread breed discrimination.

Damaging myths, exploitive owners and breeders and a media culture that is only too willing to escalate fears have created a hostile environment for this wonderful breed.

At the same time, public bias fueled by myths and misinformation remains high. American Pit Bull Terriers or those with “Pit Bull-like characteristics” are targeted for euthanasia at alarming rates. Deadly and damaging myths result in an untold number of shelter deaths every year for Pit Bulls Terriers as well as dogs believed to possess “bully breed” characteristics.

If after educating yourself you decide that adopting an American Pit Bull Terrier or another bully breed if it is right for you, you will be surely be saving a life. If the dog you adopt also happens to be a black dog, they likely had even higher odds stacked against them.

Thankfully, Callie is out of harm's way but she is patiently waiting for a home to call her own. Be a proud guardian of a black Pitbull mix - especially a lover like Callie girl.
