Story
Shorty got his name from his short little stubby legs, and he’s every bit as adorable as you’d imagine. This sweet little Chihuahua spent his life as a breeder dog, so living in a home is still new to him—but he’s doing really well and making steady progress every day. Shorty gets along wonderfully with other dogs and truly needs another dog in the home to help him feel safe and confident. He knows how to use a doggy door to go outside to potty, though he may still have an occasional accident or choose to use a potty pad. Shorty recently had his eye removed due to a non-healing ulcer and also had a dental with several extractions. He has recovered well and is now ready to start his next chapter. Because he is still healing, we have not tried leash walking yet. He is kennel trained, very quiet, and not a barker. Shorty will allow you to pick him up if you gently corner him and say “stop” or “wait,” and he will sit with you for short periods, though he doesn’t yet come to you asking to be picked up. With patience, kindness, and routine, he continues to grow more comfortable each day. Shorty would do best in a calm, quiet home with another dog and a secure fenced yard. His journey is just beginning, and he’s looking for a loving home to continue helping him feel safe and loved. Adoption fee is $350 plus tax. Apply to adopt at CampCompanion.org 🐾

Story
7-year-old Male Yorkshire Terrier | 5 lbs Scooter is a tiny 5-pound, 7-year-old Yorkie with a gentle heart and a quiet soul. He is a former breeder dog, so he can be very shy at first. When meeting new people, Scooter may slowly back away until he feels safe. With patience and kindness, he quickly learns he can trust you—and once he does, he becomes a sweet little snuggle buddy. He does fit nicely in a satchel or carrying bag. Scooter is an exceptionally quiet dog. In fact, I’ve only heard him bark once since he’s been in my care. He loves to sit beside his person or curl up on a warm lap and simply enjoy being close. He does need to be watched as he has started lap guarding with the other dogs. When not protecting moms lap, he is great with other dogs and came in with Gertrude as a breeding pair. 🩺 Medical & Special Care Scooter has an eye condition with limited vision. Because of this, he currently requires two different eye drops twice daily. He handles his care well and is otherwise doing fine. He will have a recheck on Friday 1/30 to see if the eye drops help or if they are needed in the future. He gets around fine. Due to cold weather, Scooter currently refuses to go outside, so he wears a belly band and is not fully potty trained. If taken outside, he would need a secure fenced yard. A patient home that understands his background and is willing to continue working with very shy dogs will help him thrive. Fast movements are scary for breeder release dogs. 💙 Ideal Home Scooter would do best in a quiet, loving home with:    •   Patience and gentle handling    •   Another small dog companion    •   A calm environment, no kids.    •   Someone who enjoys a cuddly lap dog Once Scooter knows you’re safe, he will reward you with trust, affection, and the sweetest companionship.

Story
🐾 Meet Onix – A Gentle Soul Waiting to Bloom 🖤 Onix is a beautiful black mixed-breed pup with the softest heart and a truly sweet soul. He’s looking for a calm, patient home where he can continue to build confidence and learn that the world—and people—can be kind. Onix came into our rescue with his mom, Cinnamon, a 12-lb Chihuahua who has already been adopted. We’re guessing Onix’s dad may have been some kind of shepherd. Onix is very fearful of any new people but absolutely thrives when other dogs are around. Confident canine companions help him feel safe and encourage him to interact with humans, so a home with at least one friendly dog is a must. He’s a happy, easygoing pup who enjoys playtime and quiet companionship. Onix is shy but making great progress—he’s recently learned to walk on a leash, is house-trained, and kennel-trained. A securely fenced yard is highly recommended so he can feel safe while exploring. Onix won’t do well in a busy or chaotic household. Even though he is doing really well with his foster mom, he is scared of most strange humans right now, and would not do well in a home with children. He will truly shine in a peaceful, low-key environment with adopters who understand that patience and consistency will help him blossom into an incredibly loyal and loving companion. ✨ If you’re willing to go slow and let Onix come out of his shell at his own pace, you’ll be rewarded with a devoted best friend. 📋 Apply to adopt at CampCompanion.org 💲 Adoption fee: $350 + tax
