Story
Meet Casanova! 🐾❤️ Casanova is a 7-year-old Shih Tzu with a unique, quirky personality who is learning what it means to be part of a family. Casanova has made wonderful progress in seeking affection. He now comes looking for his foster when he wants attention and will even stand on his back legs and put his paws on her when he wants to be picked up. He loves being held, curling into the nook of your arm, and being brushed. He also greets his foster at the door when she gets home. ❤️ Casanova gets along with other dogs and has recently started playing with Penny Sue, showing a playful side we hadn’t seen before. He has some unique quirks, including walking in circles—a behavior sometimes seen in breeder-release dogs who have spent much of their lives in kennel environments. He is also sensitive to thunder and certain loud or intense sounds, including the ominous music in scary movies. When frightened, he seeks out his foster for comfort and reassurance. ❤️ Casanova is very good about using pee pads indoors and happily goes into his kennel for naps and quiet time. He needs to be picked up and carried outside to potty, but once outside, he does his business. He can go down the deck stairs on his own but sometimes needs help getting back inside. Casanova is making progress with leash walking and will need continued practice. He may not be ready for long walks right away, but this is something his family can work toward. When outside, Casanova can become scared or disoriented if he cannot see his person or the other dogs he is with. Because of this, he will need to be kept on leash whenever he is outside of a securely fenced area. Casanova also has an adventurous streak when it comes to furniture! Despite having stairs available, he prefers to launch himself over the top, so his family will need to help him navigate furniture safely. Casanova will do best with a patient family who understands his quirks and will let him continue growing at his own pace. ❤️ Apply to adopt: www.campcompanion.org Adoption Fee: $450 + tax

Story
**Meet Tony! 🤎🤍** Tony is a handsome chocolate and white Shih Tzu who is beginning his new life after being released from a breeding facility. While the world is still a little overwhelming to him, each day brings new opportunities to learn that people can be kind and life can be full of love. Tony is a sweet, gentle boy who is still shy, especially when it comes to being picked up. He does well with the other dogs in his foster home and enjoys having them around, but he's still learning to trust people and settle into the comforts of home. With patience, consistency, and a gentle approach, Tony will continue to blossom into a wonderful companion. Because everything is so new to him, Tony is **not leash trained** and is currently afraid of the leash. For his safety, he will require a **securely fenced yard that is attached to the home** while he builds confidence. His adopter should be prepared to let him progress at his own pace and celebrate the small victories along the way. Tony has already had a dental, is neutered, and is ready to find the family who will give him the time and understanding he deserves. Watching a breeder-release dog learn to trust is incredibly rewarding, and Tony has so much potential waiting to shine. If you're looking for a loyal companion and have the patience to help a shy little guy discover how wonderful life can be, Tony may be the perfect addition to your family. **Tony's adoption fee is $450 plus tax.** Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Meet Cody James! 🐾 Cody James is an 8-year-old breeder release Shih Tzu who’s discovering just how wonderful life can be! Every day, his sweet personality shines a little brighter. While he’s still working on potty training and isn’t leash trained yet, Cody James is making wonderful progress. He’ll need a home with a securely fenced, above-ground yard where he can safely explore and continue building his confidence. Although he’s naturally a bit shy around new people, Cody James has come a long way in foster care. He now seeks out affection from his foster mom, happily comes to sit by her feet, and is learning that people can be pretty amazing. Cody James gets along well with other dogs and politely ignores the resident cat. Every now and then, you’ll even catch him watching TV—and if something catches his eye, he may just have a few opinions to share with the characters on the screen! 📺🐶 The best part about Cody James is his incredible potential. With patience, love, and someone willing to spend time helping him build trust, we believe he’ll continue to blossom into a loyal, loving companion. If you’re looking for the joy of watching a shy dog come out of his shell, Cody James just might be your perfect match. Apply at: www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee: $450 plus tax
