Miss Calliope was pulled from a local animal control this morning, so we are still learning about her, but we know the basics. She was found as a stray and although chipped, no one came looking. According to her chip information she is three years old and a Neapolitan Mastiff. Her coloring is considered a blue brindle. She has been vaccinated, wormed, spayed and is heartworm negative. She likes the car and jumps right in. She seems to adore people, she met everyone at the office with a wagging tail and lots of exuberance. She is extremely food motivated. She did fine with Buster at my office, she will meet the rest of the pack in the days that follow. She has lots of energy and likes to run and play. She showed no interest in the office cat, even though the cat hissed at her. It appears that she has had little of no training, although I did get her to sit for a treat. We will work on leash training while she is in rescue. She will need obedience training and an owner that can enforce rules and boundaries. She is a typical Neo in that she is stubborn and determined. She will do as she's asked if she understands that there is no other choice or if you have a treat. She is hand shy, but doesn't show any other signs of abuse or neglect. Her coat is a little rough, but with proper nutrition that should take care of itself.

She was found as a stray at an apartment complex, picked up by animal control. She is chipped but no one came looking for her. Since she is a stray little is know about her life prior to being brought into rescue, other than someone did a wonderful job of socializing her with humans, cats and other dogs.
