Story
Pippa is an 8-year-old Chihuahua mix who came to PCHS from a rescue partner. She weighs about 9 pounds and is definitely a spicy little gal who knows what she wants! Pippa is still new here and isn’t quite sure what to think about shelter life yet. She is starting to figure out that the people here are pretty nice, though. We have a feeling Pippa would much rather spend her days in a nice warm lap with some yummy snacks nearby. Give her a little time to settle in, and this little girl will show you plenty of personality! adoption fee $400 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Story
Meet Vivi! Vivi was found as a stray and ended up in animal control before coming to rescue. She is estimated to be around 10 years old, but she definitely didn’t get the memo—Vivi has plenty of energy and a tail that seems to wag nonstop. She’s a happy, curious girl who loves to be part of the action. If something moves, Vivi wants to check it out! She enjoys playing and still has a fun, youthful spirit. Vivi is a smart girl who knows “sit” and understands “no.” She appears eager to please and is learning that calm behavior earns attention and pets. She is also very good motivated. 😉 She’s quiet in her kennel, keeps it clean, and has not been destructive in her foster home. After a couple of initial accidents (normal when adjusting to a new home), she’s doing well going potty outside. She LOVES walks and belly rubs!! Vivi has met the resident dog in her foster home and did fine, but she can be a little enthusiastic and barky and is still learning doggy boundaries. Because of this, she will need slow introductions with other dogs. Vivi can also be a little sneaky around doors, so adopters will need to be careful when coming and going. She should not be off leash unless in a securely fenced area, as she does enjoy running. She is not a fan of small squeaky fast-moving kids but older kids are ok. Vivi is not a fan of apartments and wants to protect her owner so will bark at strangers. A house with a fenced yard is best for Vivi. If you think Vivi might be the right fit for your home, please apply at www.campcompanion.org. Her adoption fee is $450 plus tax

Story
Meet Noodle! 🐾❤️ Noodle is a sweet, curious little 6.2-pound pup who is looking for a family ready to keep her busy, engaged, and loved! She came into rescue with her brother, Tater, and these two make quite the adorable pair. Noodle would love to have another friendly dog in her forever home to keep her company. Mom is 12 lbs. Noodle is a happy little girl who loves being outside. She enjoys running around, chewing on sticks, lounging in the sunshine, and joining in when the neighborhood dogs have something to say. 😂 She may bark at dogs or people walking past the house and will bark at the neighbor dogs through the fence, so her family should be comfortable with a puppy who likes to announce what’s happening around her. She is working on her potty training and has learned how to use a doggy door to come back into the house, although she currently prefers being let outside through the regular human door. She walks nicely on a leash and loves going for car rides, making her a fun little companion for adventures. At bedtime, Noodle may whine a little when she first goes into her kennel, but she eventually settles down. With a proper introduction, she does well with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around. When she isn't busy exploring the great outdoors, Noodle is perfectly happy nesting on the couch with her brother Tater. ❤️ While they came into rescue together, they are each available for adoption. Noodle is spayed and ready to find a family who will give her the love, patience, exercise, and engagement that every young pup needs. If you're looking for a tiny companion with a big personality, Noodle might just be your girl! 🐶💕 **Adoption fee: $450 + tax** Apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
# Meet Little Bit ❤️ Little Bit aka Ramona originally came to us from a hoarding case in Arkansas in 2024. She was adopted, but sadly, her owner now has to move out of the country, so Little Bit is back with us and looking for her forever home. Little Bit is a **very special little Chihuahua** who needs an adopter willing to understand and respect her boundaries. She can be incredibly cuddly—but it has to be on her terms. She will happily let you pet her with one hand, but she does not like being approached or touched with two hands. Because of this, picking her up can be challenging, and she may bite if she feels scared or trapped. She is kennel trained, but she also enjoys sleeping in bed with her person. She is potty trained and does well using a doggy door or potty pad. She gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats. Little Bit **requires another confident, friendly dog in the home**. Having a canine companion gives her comfort and confidence and helps her feel more secure in her surroundings. We are looking for an **adult-only home with Chihuahua experience** that understands her quirks and will give her the time, patience, and respect she needs to feel safe. A **securely fenced yard is required**, as Little Bit is not comfortable being leashed and you will not be able to safely put a leash on her. Little Bit isn't the right dog for everyone, but for the right home, she will be a sweet and cuddly little companion who will love you in her own special way. ❤️ **Adoption fee: $450 + tax** If you think Little Bit might be the girl for you, please visit **CampCompanion.org** to learn more and apply.

Story
Meet Tater (aka Tate)! Tater is a 6.2-pound, 6-month-old little explorer who is always ready to see what adventure is waiting around the corner! He came to rescue with his sister, Noodle, and the two of them have had lots of fun wrestling and playing together. Mom is 12 lbs. Tater is an adventurous, curious boy with just a touch of mischief. He loves exploring outside, checking out everything around him, and searching for the perfect stick to chew on. He can be easily distracted when there is something interesting to investigate, so he likes to do things at his own pace. Tate would love to have another playful dog in his forever home. After a proper introduction, he does well with other dogs and is convinced that **every dog he meets is a potential new best friend!** He enjoys wrestling and playing, and having a canine companion would be a great fit for him. He is doing great with his potty training and has mastered using the doggy door. At bedtime, he may whine for a little bit before settling in for the night in his kennel, but once he gets comfortable, he settles nicely. Tater walks pretty well on a leash, although his adventurous side sometimes takes over and he decides he has somewhere else he'd rather explore! He is also excited to meet people and is always happy to make new friends. Tater is looking for a family who will enjoy his playful, curious personality and give him plenty of opportunities to explore, learn, and have fun. A home with another friendly, playful dog would be ideal for this little adventurer. Tater is neutered. His adoption fee is $450 plus tax. Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Meet Loretta! ❤️ Loretta is a sweet senior Chihuahua, 15 years old, who deserves a loving home of her own. After her owner moved into a nursing home, Loretta spent the next two years living at a shelter, sleeping in the office at night. Loretta is deaf and was thought to be unadoptable because she had never been outside, wouldn't walk on a leash, and wasn't comfortable with petting. But this little girl is full of surprises! As soon as she arrived at her foster home, she headed straight to the patio door and took herself outside. She allows her foster to pet and carry her, and although she is potty pad trained, she will also potty outside when given the opportunity. She is not comfortable on a leash so she must have a secure fence or just use potty pads inside. Loretta recently visited the vet and desperately needs a dental, which is scheduled for Monday. After everything she has been through, **Loretta deserves to be loved again.** ❤️ She deserves a soft bed, a safe home, gentle hands, and someone who will cherish her for the rest of her life. Senior dogs have so much love left to give, and Loretta deserves the chance to know what it feels like to truly belong to someone again. A securely fenced yard or a home where potty pads are welcome would be ideal for this little girl. **Special bonus:** Loretta qualifies for Camp Companion's Senior for Senior program, meaning her adoption fee is waived for adopters age 63 and older Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee if $450 plus tax if not using the senior for senior discount. Could you be the person who shows Loretta that she is still worthy of love and that her golden years can be filled with happiness? 🐾❤️
