Story
Willow Rose is an 8-year-old, 11.5-pound Shih Tzu with a personality just as beautiful as her name. Although she cannot see the world around her, she has mastered the art of being calm, gentle, and quietly present. Her favorite pastime is snoozing the day away or curling up right beside her person on the sofa while they work. Willow is blind, and that means she needs an adopter who understands that learning a new home’s layout will take time, maybe even months. Accidents will happen until she gets her bearings, and even then she may miss the mark on occasion. If you can be patient with her, she will reward you with endless quiet companionship. She gets along well with other dogs, doesn’t try to leap off furniture since she is smart enough to know her limits, and is as low-maintenance as they come. Willow isn’t perfect; she would prefer you keep the fancy rugs rolled up, and she is not a fan of grass, but she is perfect for someone who values peace, gentleness, and the unconditional love of a little dog who just wants to be by your side. If you have the patience to help Willow navigate her world, you will discover a loyal, easygoing companion who will make your house feel like home.

Trevor John (TJ) is an adorable Shih Tzu mix who is almost 2 years old. He’s very sweet and knows how to use the doggie door. TJ gets along with most dogs, but he could also be an only dog since he loves to entertain himself with toys. He keeps a clean crate, has been neutered, is heartworm negative, and is fully vaccinated. TJ would do best in a home without children. He gets scared he can act out. He’s a loving little guy who’s ready to find the perfect forever home! Adoption fee is:$400 Adoption fees are variable.

Story
Buttercup is a gentle, low-key senior (+10) Shih Tzu who’s all about peace, quiet, and the sedentary life. She is looking for her (chill) human with whom she can spend the remaining years of her life. She is mostly blind and deaf. She had an eye removed and mammary tumors removed. Her foster says “she’s a special Buttercup.” She is sweet and chill. She is NOT destructive or a barker. She’s independent. Her ideal day would be relaxing on the couch next to you -you’ll need to help her up as she is not a jumper either. Buttercup is easy to manage. She gets along with other dogs and cats. She is crate trained. She is also house trained as long as you stick to a consistent schedule, otherwise she’ll have an accident. She knows how to use a doggy doorbell and will nudge it with her nose to let you know she has to go out. She will also wear a diaper as long as you put it on while she is up and about. She’s great on a leash but is slow and doesn't like walks. She would rather relax by your side. She doesn’t care for toys but she loves blankets and bunching them up. She also loves to mix up where she sleeps and changes her spot every night. She is on a special diet of salmon and rice for her sensitive skin. She waits patiently for her food and even lets other dogs take their turn first. Buttercup likes treats and dental sticks. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate friend who will fill your days with quiet joy, Buttercup is ready to give you her whole heart. Her adoption fee is $100 ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, home check and final contract. The application to adopt can be found at www.camorescue.com.

Story
Meet Tippy Wilder! A Big Personality in a Little Body! Tippy Wilder is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a vibrant spirit and a heart that shines bright—once you’ve earned it. This little guy is full of happy energy, silly moments, and genuinely sweet affection. When he feels safe and understood, Tippy can be incredibly loving, playful, and deeply loyal to his person. Tippy also comes with significant behavioral challenges. He has a history of unpredictable reactions and has bitten people he loves when he feels his boundaries have been crossed. He is extremely sensitive about his personal space and will not tolerate being pushed past his comfort level. He can become possessive of his chosen person and does not do well with men. At six years old, Tippy is very set in his ways. He is not a candidate for basic training or behavior “rehabilitation.” While management strategies can help, his core personality and reactivity are unlikely to change. He needs someone who accepts him exactly as he is rather than trying to fix or retrain him. Structure and experience are essential—but so is the understanding that this is about long-term management, not transformation. Tippy requires a calm, adult-only home with a highly experienced handler—someone well-versed in reactive dogs, resource guarding, and bite history cases. His ideal person will respect his boundaries, avoid forcing interactions, advocate for him in stressful situations, and create a predictable, low-pressure environment where he can feel secure. Tippy Wilder is not a beginner’s dog. But for the right person—someone patient, knowledgeable, and realistic—Tippy offers fierce loyalty, funny little quirks, and truly tender moments of connection. Adoption fee: $350
