Story
🌼 Meet Our “Gentleman’s Club 7” Breeder-Release Maltese Dogs 🌼 (Reginald, Clarence, Edwin, Percival, Wilfred, Bertram, and Theodore) Reginald, Clarence, Edwin, Percival, and Wilfred are being fostered together and are starting over after living their whole lives in a breeding environment. They are scared and under-socialized, but with patience and kind routines, they can begin to feel safe and loved. 💖 Personality & Temperament * Very timid and unsure of people * Learning what it means to live indoors and be part of a family * Each dog is different—some may approach sooner, others may need more time to feel safe * Get along with other dogs 🏡 Ideal Home We’re looking for patient adopters who understand that these dogs are starting from scratch and will need time to adjust. Requirements & Important Notes: * Securely Fenced-in yard required: They are not leash trained yet and are too frightened for walks. * Somewhat potty trained: They’re learning to use pee pads indoors and will need continued guidance and routine. * Not leash trained: They will need time to get comfortable with a leash. They do not potty on leash hence the fenced in yard requirement. * A calm, patient home is best, and a friendly resident dog can help them learn faster. 🌱 What They Need From You * Time * Patience * Soft voices * Gentle, slow moving hands * A commitment to helping them learn that the world is safe In return, you’ll get to witness one of the most beautiful transformations: a scared little dog discovering joy, comfort, and love—maybe for the very first time. Adoption fee: $350.00 plus tax Apply at: www.camp companion.org

Story
🌼 Meet Our “Gentleman’s Club 7” Breeder-Release Maltese Dogs 🌼 (Reginald, Clarence, Edwin, Percival, Wilfred, Bertram, and Theodore) Percival—affectionately called Percy—is a sweet, playful little Maltese who is just beginning to discover what life as a beloved pet is all about. Percy came from a breeding facility where he lived closely with the gentleman club, and because of that, they are very attached to each other. A home with another friendly, social dog is a must for him—he truly thrives when he has a buddy by his side. He is fostered with Edwin and they nonstop race the house with each other. Percy is a funny, charming little guy with a gentle spirit. Living in a home with people is still new to him, and while he’s learning that being picked up and cuddled can be safe and cozy, it does make him a bit nervous at first. With patience, he will settle into your lap and relax, and continued gentle handling will help him build confidence. His preference, though, is happily sitting close to his doggy sibling, soaking up that familiar comfort. His favorite toy is a plastic water bottle. He is not leash trained and will need a securely fenced yard to safely explore the outdoors. Percy is currently using potty pads and will need ongoing work and consistency to learn pottying outside. He does not enjoy being kenneled but does well in an x-pen, where he feels more at ease. Percy is looking for a calm, patient home that understands breeder-release dogs and is willing to let him move at his own pace. With another dog to guide him and a family who celebrates small wins, Percy will continue to blossom into the delightful little companion he’s meant to be. 💛 Adoption fee: $350.00 plus tax Apply at: www.camp companion.org

Story
Meet Reginald (aka Reggie) 💙 Reginald is a sweet little Maltese breeder release who is just beginning to discover how wonderful life can be. He’s about 1.5 years old and weighs around 10 lbs, making him the perfect small companion with a big heart. 🐕 Reggie is gentle, endearing, and quietly affectionate once he feels safe. Because he didn’t get to experience a normal puppyhood, he will need another friendly, social dog in the home to help show him the ropes and teach him how to “dog” by example. Having a canine buddy gives him confidence and comfort. ✨ House & Training Reggie is doing great with potty training when kept on a consistent schedule. He has been using a small x-pen area in the yard and is going outside reliably. A fenced yard is not required. 👨‍👩‍👧 Kids & Home Environment We recommend a home with adults or older, respectful children who understand the importance of giving Reggie time, patience, and space as he adjusts to a new environment. A calm, gentle household will help him thrive. 🐾 Special Notes Reggie is missing his back right foot, which does limit his mobility a bit—but don’t let that fool you. He gets around just fine and doesn’t let it stop him from enjoying life. His resilience is just one more thing to love about him. Reggie’s foster family describes him as an amazing, incredibly cute little pup who is blossoming more every day. With patience, love, and a confident canine companion, Reggie will make a truly special addition to the right home. If you’re looking for a tender soul to grow with and cheer on as he discovers the world, Reggie may be your perfect match. 🐶💙 Adoption fee: $350.00 + tax Apply at: www.campcompanion.org

Story
Hi there! I’m Theodore! I’m part of the Gentlemen’s Club. We were all released from a breeder, and placed into foster homes, so I’ve been a bit unsure of things, but I’m starting to come out of my shell! My foster mom keeps tossing me treats, so I like her. Her snuggles are pretty tolerable as well. I even wiggle my tail when I see her now! She thinks I’m a fun little guy, and she loves how I take in the world, before deciding to explore or play. She thinks I’m pretty smart! I LOVE seeing what all my foster siblings are doing. I like to play, and I like the toys that I find, but I’m still working on my confidence all the time. I even started playing a bit of fetch though! I’d do best in a home with another dog to show me around, and a secure fence or small area to go potty in (like an X-pen), since I’m not great on a leash(yet!). I’m learning every day though, and gaining more confidence! I have been working on going potty outside, and doing well on a consistent routine. I’m a fun little guy, who will need some patience and a little extra love, but will bring a smile to your face every day! Apply to adopt me at campcompanion.org. Adoption fee is $350 plus tax.

🌼 Meet Our “Gentleman’s Club 7” Breeder-Release Maltese Dogs 🌼 (Reginald, Clarence, Edwin, Percival, Wilfred, Bertram, and Theodore) Meet Edwin 💙 — a tiny 7-lb Maltese with a huge personality and a talent for making people laugh. Edwin is a funny little guy who brings big, joyful energy… especially when other dogs are around. Living in a home with people is still very new to him, so he’s currently scared of being held or touched by humans. What he lacks in confidence with people, he more than makes up for in his love of dogs — they make him very happy and help him feel safe. Edwin is under-socialized, but with patience, gentle handling, and consistent, kind routines, he can begin to feel secure and learn what it means to be loved. He’ll do best in a calm home that lets him move at his own pace and celebrates small wins. He has walked on a leash at an adoption event, though he hasn’t pottied on leash yet. In a securely fenced yard, he does know how to use a doggy door. REQUIREMENTS: • Edwin must have another social dog in the home (all sizes are fine!) Adoption fee: $350.00 + tax Apply to adopt: www.campcompanion.org Edwin is looking for a patient, dog-savvy home where he can feel safe, follow a confident canine friend, and let his big personality shine. 🐾

🌼 Meet Our “Gentleman’s Club 7” Breeder-Release Maltese Dogs 🌼 (Reginald, Clarence, Edwin, Percival, Wilfred, Bertram, and Theodore) Bertram is starting over after living his whole life in a breeding environment. He came to us scared and under-socialized, but with patience and kind routines, he is starting to feel safe and loved. Bertam has been very timid and unsure of people. He will startle when picked up, but is starting to enjoy snuggling next to his foster folks! He gets along with other dogs and is really curious about his foster siblings. He LOVES treats! His favorite game right now is when his foster mom tosses pieces of his kibble for him to hunt and find. Bertram isn’t leash trained yet, so he would benefit from a fenced in yard, as well as another dog to show him the ropes and teach him what being loved in a house is like! He is learning all about potty training, and does well on a consistent routine! Bertram will need some time and patience, but will be a wonderful addition to a household that is ready to show him that the world isn’t so scary!

Story
Nova is a gentle, sensitive soul who’s looking for a patient and loving home. She was released from a breeding facility. This shy pup is still learning that the world is a safe place and will need a calm adopter who can help build confidence at her pace. With encouragement, consistency, and lots of kindness, Nova continues to make progress every day. What really helps Nova shine is the company of other animals. She loves other dogs and does wonderfully with cats, making her a great candidate for a home with furry companions. Having a confident dog friend would be a big plus and a wonderful source of reassurance. Nova is potty trained, but has not learned how to ask to go outside and uses potty pads at times. She does best with a predictable routine. She is still learning how to walk on a leash and would do best with a fenced in yard. Once settled, she is sweet, quiet, and deeply appreciative of gentle affection. Watching Nova gain trust and confidence is incredibly rewarding, and the bond you’ll build will be something truly special. If you have a soft spot for shy dogs and a heart for helping one blossom, Nova could be the perfect addition to your family! Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee is $350 plus tax.
