Story
Meet this sweet little girl! At around 10 pounds, she is a tiny package with a very tender heart. She came to us from a hoarding situation, where she spent much of her life confined to a kennel and simply did not get the chance to experience the kind of love, attention, and everyday family life that every dog deserves. Because of that, she can be timid when meeting new people. She is not unfriendly—she is simply learning that people can be kind and that being loved is something she can trust. Give her a little time, patience, and reassurance, and you will get to see the wonderful girl underneath that shy first impression. Once she feels safe, she is incredibly loving and makes a fantastic little lap dog. She enjoys being close to her person and soaking up all the affection she missed out on before. We think she would do especially well in a calmer home with an older individual or family who understands that the best relationships sometimes take a little time to build. She has already come so far. Now she just needs someone willing to show her what being truly loved feels like. If you have a patient heart and an open lap, she may be waiting for you.

Story
Hi there, I’m Darla! 💖✨I’m a young pup who recently moved up from Alabama with my two brothers 🚗💨. People tell me I look like a little fruit bat because of my irresistible bat ears and petite size 🦇🥹, but I promise I'm all puppy with a huge heart! ❤️🐕New places can feel a bit big and overwhelming to me at first, so I tend to be on the shy side until I settle in 🏡. Big dogs can also make me a little nervous, but would you blame me, they are giants 🦖. My foster family says I am doing a wonderful job coming out of my shell a little more every day ✨! Whenever I need a little break to process everything, I am crate trained and feel very safe in there 💤.Once I get comfortable, my true personality comes alive ✨! I love to give sweet kisses, cuddle up tight, and take cozy naps right next to you 😘. Oh, and did I mention I absolutely love treats 🦴😋? They are the quickest way to my heart 💝! I’m also working hard on being a good house guest and am already potty trained on a schedule with only a few accidents . Could your lap be my forever home 💕?--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

Story
Hi! I'm Dalton,I’m a sweet, playful little guy who loves making new friends—especially the four-legged kind! I have so much fun playing with other dogs, but I’m also perfectly happy being my own little pup. I have not met a person yet that I haven't liked, it doesn't matter if the human has a treat or not, I always wag my tail and greet everyone, including children. When I am not cuddling, I like to show my big personality. I’m doing really well with my potty training and am almost there! I’m also a fantastic nighttime sleeper in my kennel—I sleep right through the night like a good boy. 😴🐶One of my favorite things? CAR RIDES! 🚗💨 Whether we’re off on an adventure or just cruising around, I’m always happy to come along.I’m sweet, social, playful, and ready to fill my forever home with puppy kisses, zoomies, and lots of love. I’m ready to be someone’s special best friend. 🥰Could I be your new best friend? ❤️🐾--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

Story
Hi, I'm Agatha! I'm a 5-year-old rat terrier looking for a lap to lay in. I prefer a quiet, predicable home, with one or two confident people to help make me feel relaxed and secure. I need my people to be in charge, so I don't have to be. I like to move at my own pace and greet new people first so please don’t rush me. Once I trust you, I’m very affectionate and calm. Oh, and I LOVE belly rubs, car rides, and walks. I like other dogs, especially if they are on the calmer side like me. Since I haven’t been around cats, I'm not sure how well we would get along. Since I am looking for a calmer environment, I'm looking for my forever home without children. I am potty trained and can comfortably hold it for several hours, if I need to. I do get nervous in certain circumstances, so a muzzle is needed for vet visits, grooming, and nail appointments. This helps to keep everything safe and stress-free. My ideal home and family are one where I can build trust at my own pace, have a routine which includes exercise (I’m a bit of a chunky girl!) and get plenty of affection with someone(s) who makes me feel safe and understood. Agatha's Highlights ✅ Loves belly rubs ✅ Enjoys car rides and walks ✅ Potty trained for several hours ✅ Good with other dogs ✅ Needs a calm, quieter home ✅ Needs patient, confident adopters who know how to be the leader(s) of the pack ❌ No children- ok with kids, just don't want to live with them. ❓ Cats unknown ℹ️ Muzzle required for vet and grooming visits Agatha is ready to find the right person(s) who will appreciate her gentle heart, respect her boundaries, and help her continue to blossom into a confident companion. Adoption fee is $450 plus tax. Apply at campcompanion.org!

Story
Meet Daisy — a little girl finally getting the second chance she’s always deserved. At 9 years old, Daisy is discovering what it truly means to be loved. Before entering foster care in January, she spent much of her life living on a farm, often in a garage, without the comfort, stability, and companionship every dog should know. Since then, her foster family has watched her slowly blossom into a devoted and affectionate companion.Daisy has made incredible progress in foster care. She is now kennel-trained, leash-trained, and learning household routines beautifully. She does well with pottying outside when let out consistently and continues improving with patience and structure each day.Because of her past, Daisy is looking for a very specific forever home where she can feel safe and secure. After years of relying only on herself, she prefers to be the only pet and would do best in a home without children. Early in foster care, she could be reactive when uncomfortable, but once her pain was identified and properly managed with medication, her true personality began to shine. With trust, consistency, and feeling physically better, she has formed strong bonds with her foster dad and the adults she knows best.And the real Daisy? She’s a sweetheart. A quiet shadow who simply wants to be near her people, soaking up love and companionship. She would thrive in a calm, lower-activity home with a single person or couple willing to continue giving her the understanding and stability she has worked so hard to trust. Daisy will need ongoing pain management, but in return she’ll offer unwavering loyalty, gentle companionship, and a whole lot of love.She may not have always had the chance to be this dog — but now she does. Could you be the one to give Daisy the peaceful forever home she deserves?Daisy is spayed and up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations. Because of Daisy's level of daily pain, she takes gabapentin three times daily (around $35/month) and previcox once daily (around $75/month). This medication treatment should continue after she is adopted and will be the adopter's financial responsibility. Please don't let this deter you from providing Daisy her final fur-ever home!

Story
Juniper is a darling young dog who weighs 21 pounds. Her breed mix is unknown, but she looks like a small terrier mixed with mini dachshund. She loves other dogs and is good with playful cats. She'd do well with an active person who also wants a cuddle buddy. Juniper would do well with a fenced yard to run around in for playtime and someone who enjoys going for walks and taking her with on adventures. She'd also love someone to cuddle up and watch movies with. Juniper is not used to living with young kids so older or no kids would be best for her in her new home. She's dependably potty trained and fully vetted. Her adoption fee is $375 to help cover some of her vetting costs. Please message us with any questions or fill out the below application if interested in adopting Juniper https://form.jotform.com/200117732210033
