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 phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ferne Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Callie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Callie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Ferne Animal Sanctuary 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.
