Story

Buttercup and her sister, Bubbles were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own. Their mom is a long-haired Chihuahua and their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd last year so they are now a year old. Buttercup has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs about 6 pounds and is full grown now. She is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Buttercup is a little shy at first, and she definitely tries to boss her sister around, but they really love each other! She and Buttercup are very bonded and we would very much like to get them a home together. They are so funny together! They play and run zoomies around the house. They would do well with older children and we have not had them around cats but we feel like they would be fine with proper introduction. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug along with her sister, their forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com.

Good with dogs,

Story

Piper is a 2-year-old Shih Tzu breeder release with a gentle, nurturing spirit and a quiet confidence that makes her extra special. She came into rescue with her sister Paisley. Piper is sweet, steady, and she truly embraces her role as “big sister”. Watching her with paisley is something special—they love to run and play in the backyard, wrestle in the snow, and then curl up together for the coziest snuggles. She gets along well with other small dogs and has been doing great with her routine. Piper sleeps quietly in a playpen with Paisley at night and keeps it clean when left during the day. She’s also doing well with potty training, though she’s still learning, and leash training is a work in progress. Piper already knows how to go up and down stairs and is gaining confidence more each day. She would thrive in a home that is patient and loving—one that will continue to support both her and Paisley as they grow and adjust. Because of their strong bond, Piper would love to be adopted with her sister Paisley. Together, they bring the perfect mix of playful joy and sweet companionship. At this time, we are requiring a fenced yard for the girls. We will accept applications for them separate but will give them time to get adopted together. 💛 If you’re looking for a loving pair who will fill your home with warmth, snuggles, and a little bit of playful chaos, Piper and Paisley might just be your perfect match. Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee is $350 plus tax.

Story

Meet Paisley 💛 Paisley is a 2-year-old Shih Tzu breeder release who is just beginning to discover how wonderful life can be in a loving home. She came in with her sister Piper and would love to stay together. She may be a little shy at first, but you can see her brave little heart shining through—she wants to trust, and once she does, she absolutely melts. When Paisley warms up, she becomes incredibly snuggly and will greet you with the sweetest tail wags that are impossible not to fall in love with. Paisley does wonderfully with other small dogs and is especially bonded to her sister, Piper. The two love to run around outside together and wrestle, and they also enjoy cozying up side-by-side on the couch. Because of their close bond, Paisley would truly thrive in a home where she can be adopted with Piper. She is doing great in her playpen—she sleeps there quietly at night with Piper and keeps her space clean when left during the day. Like many breeder release pups, she is still learning the basics of leash walking and potty training, but she’s making progress with gentle guidance and patience. At this time she needs a secure fence. Paisley’s ideal home will be calm, patient, and understanding—one where someone is home often and can continue helping her build confidence at her own pace. With a little time and a lot of love, Paisley is going to blossom into the most devoted little companion. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving pup (or better yet, a bonded pair!) to grow with and cherish, Paisley may be your perfect match. Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee is $350 plus tax, each.

Story

Some dogs are able to recover from neglect or abuse faster than others…..if only they could tell us about those early years of their life. Cody is a 3.5 yr old. 13# male Shih Tzu/maltese former breeder dog that is still in the process of his recovery, and is hoping someone with patience and previous dog experience is able to take him and continue working with him. Another small, playful dog and a secure fenced yard are also requirements to help him be successful. Cody would not be suited to a family with children of any age because of his fears of new people, loud noises, and fast movements. He has been in his foster home for quite a while – he trusts his foster mom, and is relaxed and seeks attention from her, but transitioning into a new home could be like starting all over again. Let me tell you more about him. His foster mom is retired, and home with him most of the time. Cody prefers to approach her for cuddle time when she is sitting or laying down, instead of towering over him. He comes to her when she calls him inside the house, but doesn’t have recall when he is out in the yard, so he is either contained in a kennel area when out, or drags a long leash around in his fenced area so you can use that instead of grabbing at him when he’s out. If someone scares or forces him, or raises their voice, it takes quite a while for him to forgive you. He tolerates meeting new people, but is more fearful of men and might try to hide from them. His foster home has a doggie door that he has learned to use, but his new home might not; Cody is willing to go out into the cold for a short time, so you will need to establish a schedule that works for him, and have a potty pad down for emergencies. His meals are dry food soaked in water for 5 minutes – he can be reluctant to eat, and acts like he is watching for new people to approach. Cody is most comfortable around the resident dogs, and loves to run and play with them. The other dog/dogs in the home should be tolerant, playful, be good pack leaders and “show him the ropes”. Cody rides OK in the car, in a crate. In warmer weather, he has been taken on short walks – doesn’t understand the purpose of a walk when there is a perfectly wonderful fenced yard to run around in. Cody has a loud bark, so best suited to single-family home instead of a building that shares a wall with another family. Cody is neutered, and current on vaccinations. The heartworm test and tick profile are all negative. He requires grooming about every 3 months. If you have questions, or would like to adopt Cody, call 651-771-5662. His adoption fee is $300 .
