"Callista and Vada are
a pair of 8 year olds - Callista being
apricot and Vada being brindle. Callista is
the more dominant of the two and always has
to be first, although she is not nasty
toward Vada. Callista is also the more
verbal of the girls.
They are both on the
small side with Callista being about 106#
and Vada being 115#. Both are in good
health, although Callista has some
arthritis, but that does not slow her down.
They have been with other dogs and do fine,
although Callista is a little too pushy with
smaller dogs. They are both housebroken and
know basic commands and do well on a leash.
Callista does not
appear to put on much weight, but that is
for the best with her arthritis issue. They
are both active outside, but typical
mastiffs inside. They are both spayed and
UTD on their inoculations. All they want
is a forever home since they were abandoned
by their owner who had to see to a sick
daughter and could not take them with him."
Calista is an approx 8 yo fawn girl who was
dumped at the shelter with her "sister" Vada.
Obviously these girls have never been given
the care they deserve. Calisa weighs about
106 pounds. It's
unthinkable to us that people can be so
cruel and heartless to any living creature
as to callously dump EIGHT year old Mastiffs
at a shelter. Looking into these
girl's eyes and their postures in these
shelter photos we can only imagine what they
have suffered up until this point. Their
eyes are worried, questioning, but gentle
and kind in spite of what people have done
to them.
We
hope that their lives can finally have a
happy ending by reaching the warm hearts and
loving homes of some compassionate Mastiff
lovers who will add them to their family and
treasure them as they deserve to be.
Calista was in much worse shape than Vada
when coming into the shelter, but she is
gaining weight & eating well now. Calista is
very "interested" in small dogs, so it looks
like she will be better in a home without
them.
Calista is already spayed , utd on vax and
in dire need of a foster home...please help
us to help them?
If you are interested in
adopting me please
submit an
adoption application mentioning
me by name and by state.
If you
have specific questions about me please contact anne at

Calista & Vada are in dire need of a foster
home or homes. We would love to keep them
together if possible- as they are all each
other has in the world. Could you make room
in your heart and home to foster one or both
of these beautiful Mastiff seniors while a
forever home can be found?
