Her foster mom calls her the "perfect weirdo".

Why? Because she just transforms into pure moments of joy. We see as her laughing out loud in sweet manner, and simply to herself nonetheless. She also gets random zoomies of bliss throughout the day.

Pet Photo Session in Chicago

Cali’s Pet Photo Session in Chicago

Pit bull photo

What are Cali’s favorite activities or unusual likes?

Cali is an expert de-squeaker of dog toys. She has yet to find one she can’t destroy in under 3 minutes. She loves long walks and giving squirrels a run for their money.

Did you guys have any concerns or worries before Cali’s session? If so, was I able to overcome any?

Cali’s pretty anxious in new situations, so we were worried she wouldn’t be able to calm down enough to show her sweet side in photos. Marty did a great job of letting her unwind at her own pace and come to him. The resulting photos captured her perfectly.

Does Cali have any best friends, pet or human? 

Cali’s selective of dog friends (though she’s been really sweet to her new foster bro). Humans are more her jam. Anyone with a treat makes the cut.

How old is Cali? 

Cali turned 12 this past May. We adopted her when she was 8 and her previous owner could no longer care for her.
