Callie

Rottweiler · Male · Adult · 5 years

This big, handsome boy has found himself at Ferne through no fault of his own, and now he’s hoping to find a loving home to call his own. Callie is looking for an adult-only home, although he could live with older teenagers aged 16+. He’s a lovely boy who enjoys the company of other dogs and is friendly with them both on and off lead. Callie has lots of great qualities already — he has great recall, walks beautifully on a loose lead, is house trained, travels well and is happy being left for 3–4 hours. Callie hasn’t met cats before, so a cat-free home would be best for him. Could you be the person to give this gorgeous boy the loving home he deserves? ❤️ Please apply online to give Callie his second chance. He can’t wait to meet you!

About Callie

What life with Callie looks like

Callie is a large adult rottweiler dog waiting at Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Chard.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Callie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Callie?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Ferne Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Callie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Callie if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Ferne Animal Sanctuary whether they will for Callie, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Callie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Callie. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Ferne Animal Sanctuary, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Callie isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Ferne Animal Sanctuary about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Callie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
