Story
Sven, Olaf, Oaken, Elsa Mae, Bear, and Bodie might just be the cutest squad you’ll meet! These six sweet pups were born to Momma Mavis, who was rescued just in time and welcomed into a warm, loving Camp Companion foster home to safely have and care for her babies. Now they’re thriving, growing, and showing off their personalities every single day. Elsa Mae is the only girl, and brought out her spitfire personality to deal with all her brothers! Bodie is cuddly and fluffy. Olaf is the big brother who runs the pack! Sven and Bear follow the crew, and love seeing what shennagins they can get into. Oaken is just a scruffy little furball! This crew is everything you love about puppies—wiggly energy, a little bit of sass, and unlimited snuggles. Momma Mavis is a mixed breed and dad is a mystery, but one thing is for sure… these little furballs are 100% CUTE and ready to wiggle their way into someone’s heart! If you’re looking for a playful, lovable companion, these cuties will be ready for adoption the weekend of 1/17! Adoption fee is $350 plus tax. Apply at campcompanion.org.
We'll also keep you updated on Bodie's adoption status with email updates.
