Yes<br/><br/>Vaccinated? Yes<br/><br/>Heartworm Status: Negative<br/><br/>Good with dogs? Yes<br/><br/>Good with kids? Has not lived with children<br/><br/>Good with cats? No<br/><br/>Has experience on a leash? Yes<br/><br/>Potty trained? Yes. She keeps her area clean at the foster facility and is expected to adjust<br/><br/>quickly to the rules of her new home.<br/><br/>Crate trained? No, but she is easy to train.<br/><br/>Where does the dog stay when she is alone? Camille currently shares her space with other<br/><br/>dogs, as her foster home also cares for other rescue dogs.Where does the dog sleep? Camille sleeps in her foster home in a dog bed placed on the floor<br/><br/>in a designated area.<br/><br/>Temperament/Personality<br/><br/>Camille is a happy, intelligent, sweet, and sensitive puppy who loves learning and connecting<br/><br/>with people. She is attentive, eager to please, and quick to pick up new skills.<br/><br/>She is affectionate and friendly with people. Although she has never lived with children, her<br/><br/>gentle, good-natured personality suggests she could be a wonderful companion for a family with<br/><br/>respectful kids.<br/><br/>Camille also loves other dogs and enjoys meeting new friends. She can be a little shy and<br/><br/>submissive during initial introductions, but with positive reinforcement training, she is learning to<br/><br/>approach these interactions with greater confidence. Once she feels comfortable, her playful<br/><br/>personality shines.<br/><br/>Camille and her sister, Brooklyn, have been working with one of our certified behavioral trainers<br/><br/>using positive reinforcement methods, with excellent results. Their training has helped them<br/><br/>develop confidence, communication skills, and trust.<br/><br/>One of Camille's favorite activities is going to the park, where she loves exploring, playing with<br/><br/>other dogs, and doing zoomies with Brooklyn. She has also learned to enjoy off-leash time with<br/><br/>caregivers she knows and trusts.<br/><br/>As her rescuer, I am incredibly proud of Camille's progress. She combines intelligence and<br/><br/>sensitivity with a playful spirit, and watching her confidence grow has been a joy.<br/><br/>Camille may need a little time to warm up to new canine friends, but once she feels safe, she is<br/><br/>ready to play, explore, and enjoy life. Her future family will gain a loving companion who is<br/><br/>eager to keep learning and share many adventures.<br/><br/>Camille's Ideal Home<br/><br/>Camille would thrive with a loving, active family who wants their dog to be part of everyday life.<br/><br/>She would enjoy walks, outdoor adventures, trips to the park, playtime, and activities that<br/><br/>engage both her body and mind.<br/><br/>Because she is intelligent and sensitive, continuing her positive reinforcement training will help<br/><br/>her build confidence and strengthen her bond with her new family.<br/><br/>Camille could happily live with another friendly, well-balanced dog. Since she can initially be shy<br/><br/>around unfamiliar dogs, patient introductions that allow her to approach at her own pace wouldbe ideal. She could also thrive as the only dog, provided she has regular opportunities to<br/><br/>socialize with other dogs.<br/><br/>Although she has not lived with children, her gentle and affectionate nature suggests she could<br/><br/>do well with respectful kids.<br/><br/>Camille has enjoyed off-leash time with caregivers she knows and trusts. After adoption, she<br/><br/>should remain securely leashed while adjusting to her new family and building a reliable bond.<br/><br/>Off-leash activities should only be considered once her recall and responsiveness are well<br/><br/>established.<br/><br/>Above all, Camille needs a family willing to offer her love, patience, positive guidance, and a<br/><br/>lifetime of security and companionship. In return, she will bring sweetness, loyalty, and plenty of<br/><br/>joyful puppy energy into their lives.<br/><br/>Camille's Rescue Story<br/><br/>Camille's story reflects the heartbreaking reality faced by thousands of stray dogs in Mexico.<br/><br/>She and her sister, Brooklyn, were born outside a market in a very poor area of Guadalajara.<br/><br/>We don't know how many puppies were originally in their litter, but these two little girls managed<br/><br/>to survive their first 41⁄2 months on the streets, searching for food and learning far too young how<br/><br/>to fend for themselves.<br/><br/>A kind person who worked at one of the food stands occasionally fed them and began posting<br/><br/>on Facebook to ask for help. Week after week, no one responded. At one point, someone living<br/><br/>nearby took the puppies in for a day and tried to find them homes. When nobody came forward,<br/><br/>Camille and Brooklyn were returned to the streets.<br/><br/>After following the posts on Facebook, their rescuer drove to the market and searched until she<br/><br/>finally spotted them looking for scraps of food.The girls were taken for veterinary care, began<br/><br/>their health protocols, and eventually moved into a foster home. They were safe, but their early<br/><br/>experiences had left them fearful of parts of the world outside their familiar surroundings. Even<br/><br/>veterinary visits and walks could initially feel overwhelming.<br/><br/>With the support of one of our certified behavioral trainers, Camille and Brooklyn began working<br/><br/>through their fears using positive reinforcement, patience, and carefully managed experiences.<br/><br/>On the streets, other dogs could mean competition for scarce food. Camille had to learn that<br/><br/>meeting another dog no longer meant fighting to survive. Today, she may still approach<br/><br/>unfamiliar dogs shyly, but she is making beautiful progress. Once comfortable, she loves to<br/><br/>play, run, and make friends.With people, Camille has always been remarkably sweet and affectionate. Despite her difficult<br/><br/>beginnings, she never seemed to lose her ability to trust humans. Now she is ready for the next<br/><br/>chapter of her story: a family of her own, where she will always be safe, loved, and home.<br/><br/>Camille is waiting in Mexico until a family is committed to taking her on a 10-day trial adoption.<br/><br/>If you are interested, apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org<br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $650
