Story
Golden Girl - Snow Meet our sweet 12-year-old Maltese! This breeder release is a gentle soul who is learning how to live her very best life. She may be shy at first but give her a day or two and she’ll become your little shadow, happily following you wherever you go. This toothless diva has made it very clear that soft food is the way to her heart—she even turned her nose up at softened kibble! At 12 years old, we think she deserves whatever her heart desires in her golden years. ❤️ She is losing some of her sight, and we believe she may not hear everything either, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying life! She does great with other dogs, and we think she would do well with cats, too. Don’t let her age fool you—she still has some pep in her step and plenty of love left to give. We are working hard on house training, but she may never be 100% perfect. She prefers having her own cozy space, though she doesn’t need to be confined to a crate. We do have one important warning: **she is a certified trip hazard!** She loves her people and has quickly learned that following you is her favorite activity… preferably about two inches behind your ankles. This sweet girl deserves a quiet, loving home where she can spend her golden years being spoiled rotten. She is learning what it means to be loved, and we think she has so much love left to give in return. 🐾❤️ Snow was spayed and had a lump removed on 8/26/26. She will need some time to heal before she can go home but she is accepting applications now. She also had a surgery on her mouth to close oral nasal fistulas. She can go home after sutures are removed around 9/9. Apply at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee: $450 + tax

Story
**Meet Lulu & Penny – A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Next Chapter** Lulu, a sweet Bichon Frise, and Penny, an adorable Poodle, are a bonded pair of approximately 10-year-old best friends. After their beloved owner passed away, they found themselves looking for a new family to love together. These girls share a beautiful bond. Penny is blind due to untreated dry eye syndrome and receives eye drops three times a day. Lulu has cataracts with decreased vision, but she naturally helps guide Penny around and has become her little "seeing-eye dog." You'll often find them cuddled up together, whether they're napping, relaxing, or sleeping side by side. While in our care, both girls had dental cleanings with multiple extractions and had several lumps removed. Each has just three teeth remaining, but don't worry—they eat just fine! Penny is a total lovebug who enjoys curling up on your lap and soaking up attention. Even though she's blind, she quickly learns her surroundings and confidently navigates the house. Lulu is a gentle, affectionate girl who enjoys being close to her people and blossoms with a little time and reassurance. Both girls are crate trained and leash trained. They feel most comfortable sleeping in an x-pen with their crate and soft beds available. They're doing well with potty training and happily go outside, but like many dogs adjusting to a new home, they may have occasional accidents during the transition. A consistent routine will help them continue to succeed. Lulu and Penny would love a calm home with older children or adults, and they get along well with other dogs and cats. More than anything, they're looking for someone who will cherish them as much as they cherish each other. If you're ready to open your heart to two incredibly sweet senior girls, Lulu and Penny will reward you with endless love, quiet companionship, and the joy of watching a truly special friendship every single day. Adoption fee is $450 plus tax. Apply at www.campcompanion.org Penny and Lulu do qualify for the senior for senior program. Please consider making a donation to their care to support our senior for senior program. https://www.campcompanion.org/donate/
