Cami

Cami came to us as a literal miracle—confiscated due to severe neglect and just days away from wasting away. A dog who should be 40–45 pounds showed up at barely 19–20 pounds, covered in fly bites and wounds. She had every reason to trust absolutely no one… and instead? She climbed straight into our arms like, “Okay, I’m home now.”<br/><br/>Cami is resilience with a pretty face and a soft heart. She is sweet beyond measure and would happily spend her days glued to you on the couch while you rub her head and tell her she’s perfect (she is). She’s beauty, she’s grace—but she’s also learning what it feels like to be a puppy who actually feels GOOD. And sometimes that means when she wants to play, she gets a little mouthy. She redirects well and is totally trainable, but because she’s still figuring things out, we think kids 10+ are the move.<br/><br/>She’s dog-friendly and brings the energy, so she’d love a dog who can meet her enthusiasm and play style. That said, she does have an off switch and can hang in homes with different energy levels—she’s versatile like that. However, the first 15 minutes is a lot of excitement and so we have continued to work on staying neutral and meeting dogs with a little less enthusiasm.<br/><br/>Cami is crate trained, crushing potty training at about 80–85% (considering she likely lived outside, that’s huge), and making massive progress every day. She loves zooming around the backyard, walks great on a harness, and if you bring treats? She will absolutely do whatever you ask. No shame.<br/><br/>Anyone would be lucky to have Cami in their life. The joy she brings is contagious, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with her. She deserves a home that keeps proving people aren’t all bad, one that’s patient, loving, and ready to help her keep building confidence, routine, and the soft, spoiled life she has absolutely earned.<br/>If you are interested in being considered a forever home for Cami, apply directly.
