Callie was abandoned and left chained to a fence in New Haven when we took her in last year. Since then, this Pit Bull mix has overcome her abandonment issues and is a sweet and affectionate dog. She has been waiting so long to be adopted into a calm, low-traffic home with no other animals. Watch this video of Callie in her foster home and fall in love with her. Adopt Callie
