About Callie

Callie, our Director of First Impressions, is a Border Collie. This breed is a working dog, primarily serving as a herder. They are known for a keen intelligence and an ability to communicate instructions to their charges. Callie’s parents work sheep to this day. They wanted an easier life for her though, so Callie is a “white collar” work dog keeping balance in our office. She enforces a strict schedule with afternoon walks to clear the mind.

Callie’s primary job is to make visitors feel well loved. If you’ve had a bad day, visit our office and Callie will change your attitude. She makes sure we have plenty of fun but maintains discipline – never making a sound when we are on the phone.

Her interests are playing with children, watching TV, and great belly rubs.
