Story
12 weeks old shepherd mix puppy Cam is a very quiet puppy.
Cam and his 7 siblings were born on the streets of Houston to a wonderful mom named Blondie. Unfortunately, their sweet mama Blondie got very sick with heartworm disease, that caused pregnancy complications. We tried to save her, but despite treatment, Blondie passed away at age 2. She was a great mom, who nursed her pups despite getting exhausted each time. We had to wean the babies at 5 weeks and she would sit in front of the playpen watching the kiddos play. The babies still keep waiting for their mom to show up and take care of them. It is heartbreaking. We have attached a picture of our girl Blondie so you can see how beautiful their mother was.
Cam and his siblings have always been very smart, perhaps because they were partially raised on the streets by a super smart mommy.
While we are heartbroken for Blondie, we wish to honor her life by finding the best homes for her babies, whom she loved very much.
Currently in a very loving foster home, Cam is now ready for his forever home. Cam is a very calm puppy who can be an only child, or have siblings. He is good with dogs, cats, kids, people, everyone. He will need a quiet home.
Cam was born March 31 and right now weighs about 9 lb, has their initial shots, and are microchipped and kept on deworming schedule, and heartworm and flea preventative. They are currently following no paws on ground until they get all their shots, and they know how to use puppy pads. As with all our pups and kitties, Cam will get fixed before he goes to his forever home.
Cam is currently being fostered in Texas, but can travel to any state, even Canada to the right home. Canadian adopters will have to pick up puppies and kitties from the nearest USA city and accompany them into the country per the country's protocol.
To meet this gorgeous pup via facetime or whatsapp or other video chat apps, please send a completed application via www.savesomesouls.com.
Our adoption process starts with filling out an application form. It is a lengthy form but it allows us to understand if the pups and the parents will be a good fit. If they are not, we always offer a better fitting pup. A facetime or virtual. visit with the pup and their foster mom follows, after which we start working on the adoption approval. The process can take 2 - 5 days total, depending on how fast your vet returns our call. Travel can take 1-3 weeks after adoption, depending on the age of the puppy and spay/neuter schedule.
Cam's adoption fee includes transport fee to many states in the US, all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery and recovery, heartworm and flea prevention), a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, Harness and Interstate Health Certificate for our out of state adopters.
Yards, if any, must be adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups. We do not accept electric or underground fences.
Our dogs are fully assessed by foster parents, vets and behaviorists, as well as videos and video chats are available to observe their manners in public. We are extremely transparent and like to share everything negative and positive with the adopters, to ensure it's a good fit and they are not returned to us, as the trips are very stressful on them.
Houston is home to million strays, many who are abandoned, many born on the streets, many who escaped while living in the yard, which is common in Texas. Since our rescue does not get grants that shelters get, we use adoption fee to help the pups and kitties in our care. Your adoption fee goes towards vetting and feeding our long term and permanent fosters, and unadoptable pups, as well as towards the monthly care and preventatives etc of our pets. By adopting one pup from our rescue, you make room for another dog to be rescued our high kill shelter, thus becoming an integral part of our mission to save as many unfortunate dogs off the streets and shelters as possible. So Thank you for choosing to rescue, and not go to a breeder.
