Calli Is Clark-Garwood's Pet Of The Week

CLARK-GARWOOD, NJ — Meet Calli! She has been chosen as Clark-Garwood Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Calliope Cocoa Gray, a.k.a. Calli, is a 2½ year old Pomsky (Pomeranian/Siberian Husky) and furbaby to Sharon Flammia from Garwood. Calli loves swimming in the summer and playing in the snow in the winter! She would chase the Garwood squirrels up trees all year round if given the chance.

She enjoys car rides to Echo Lake Dog Park or to her therapy visits for Creature Comfort Pet Therapy. Calli visits special needs schools, nursing homes, adult day care centers and mental health facilities in and around Union County often to offer support and help provide healing comfort for those in need. She is also qualified to visit patients in Morristown Medical Center and Trinitas Hospital in Elizabeth.

Together, Sharon and Calli enjoy volunteering and seeing the love and smiles on the people they visit. It makes such a difference in their lives, if only for an hour. They enjoy meeting new people, making new friends, and being part of the Community."
