ADOPTED ON 05-22-15: Say hello to Cam, he is very unique! Cam is a wonderful dog with a sweet personality, approximately 1 year old, weighs 25 lbs., neutered and up to date on all vaccinations. Mr. Cam has moderate activity level. He is very friendly, always up to play if another dog asks, but he doesn't mind just hanging out when it is quiet.
Cam will be able to travel north on June 1, 2015.
Cam chooses where he wants to hang out during down time. Sometimes he chooses to hang with everyone and sometimes he chooses his kennel. He is very smart and LOVES toys and treats. He is very respectful when taking treats, and uses a "soft mouth." He was exposed to cats and small children in his previous foster home, and he did just fine with both. He walks excellent on a leash, curls up in a ball and sleeps when riding in the car and is crated while his foster mom is at work. When she returns he is loose in the house until bedtime.
Cam's foster said he has only had one accident, when she left him loose for the work day as a test, but is confident that if he were able to practice house training on a more regular schedule, his skills would improve. She also said he has never once had an accident inside the crate. He is a "go with the flow" kind of guy and his personality would make him a wonderful addition to any family. He would do great as a companion for a family with children who would like to have a dog. He is not too big, and would be active when activity is happening, but completely content to just hang out when it was quiet time as well.
Cam is very social, and he would really like it if there were other dogs big or small, to hang out and play with in his new home. He says cats are welcome too, he would love to have a napping partner! The bottom line is Cam just wants to be someone's loyal companion. Whether that means hikes and road trips, or walks in the evening and TV time at night, it is fine with him. Please fill out an application if you think Cam sounds like the right match for you.

About Our Rescue
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
