I was struggling with anxiety and loneliness, as my partner had to move out of state for work, and we were considering relocating. After a particularly hard day, I decided to go for a walk around the shelter and found Cali — she was sweet and friendly, and immediately I was drawn to her. Two days later, I took her home.

Cali has seen me through two cross-country moves, bouts of anxiety and depression, the best days and the worst. She is a wonderful companion. Adopting Cali was the best thing I ever did for my mental health.
