Here's what the humans have to say about me:
■■ SHELTER IS BEYOND FULL! KAMILA NEEDS YOU! ■■
FAMILY TRAVELING OUT OF THE COUNTRY -- so OFF to the SHELTER I WENT! .... I'm a little girl -- a 4 yo CHI MIX and I'm NERVOUS and SCARED HERE. Lived with 3 adults and a child! LET's GET HER OUT of the SCARY SHELTER and into a HOME!
Kamila's family state that they plan to travel out of the country for extended periods of time an so they surrendered her to the VERY FULL SHELTER!!! She's a bit nervous but sweet and ALLOWED ALL HANDLING! She'll need some time with other animals as she hasn't been around them but initial exposure seems promising with slow intro and calm dogs. She was not cat tested but again -- with a dog friendly cat and slow intro - she'd likely be okay.
PER SHELTER ASSESSMENT:
In & Out of Cage: Kamila was nervous and tried to bolt out of the cage. She allowed the handler to leash her and allowed petting. After a few minutes, she leaned in. Kamila allowed tail, ears, paws and muzzle handling without issue. Kamila did not perform any commands. Kamila did show interest in play, toys or chewy. Stranger- Kamila approached the stranger socially, sniffed, and wandered around the room. Dog to Dog- Kamila was social and interested in Lenny, but did get nervous, growl, and move away when he sniffed her rear end.
KAMILA is an unaltered female, 4 year old, Chihuahua mix. The dog is not house trained and kept in a confined area of the house during the day and night (NOTE LEFT ALONE for EXTENDED PERIODS WITHOUT being TAKEN OUTSIDE). The dog was left for more than 8 hours per day, and when left alone the dog barks, does escape repeatedly. Dog lived with 3 adults, and 1 child. The dog is described as active, and friendly with strangers. The dog guards his food and toys. Has not lived with other dogs. Has never shown aggression to a person, or bitten anyone. The current vet is "pet store", dog is current on vax, not on meds, brand of food "wilderness" 3 meals per day.
