Attention potential adopters! If you have been looking for a dog with personality, your search is OVER. Meet (drum roll) …. Camden! Cam is a Shepard mix that will surely steal your heart. And bonus - he's gorgeous! When Camden came to TRC, he was DIRTY. So, his foster mom set to work to give him the lovin’ he deserves. With a few bathes, daily brushing and lots of shedding now his coat is soft and shiny. Everyone stops to compliment him on how striking he is when they take him on walks. And he loves his daiily walks! If he sees a rabbit or squirrel he will perk up, watch intently, but does not pull. However, if he sees a small critter and is unleashed…. the chase is on! If he can take his blinders off enough to listen, he will respond to "Cam Come!" And then looks at you like “Mom, mom! Did you see the thing? I almost had it!!”
While Cam would prefer to sleep on the living room floor, he does sleep in his kennel with no complaints. He is very intelligent (and very treat motivated!) and knows the command “kennel up”. He also knows "no" and "come". He is currently learning "down", "off" (no jumping), "sit”, and “shake”. Mr. Cam is considered high energy and will need an individual or family that can provide him adequate mental & physical stimulation. He currently goes on 3-4 walks/day and when he’s ready (maybe you aren’t, but that doesn’t matter to him) he will bring YOU the leash as if to ask, “are we going or what?” His favorite toy is his KONG. Pack it full of kibble/peanut butter mixture, freeze it, and it will keep him entertained. He likes to chew on tennis balls but take note: Cam does not fetch! He thinks it's dumb. He doesn’t understand it. Fetching is for retrievers, which he is not! While Cam’s energy level is high, he is very affectionate. He follows his foster mama around the house, never straying much further than three feet away from her. And he likes to lay his head in her lap at night to wind down for bed.
Camden is a very friendly dog who seems to make friends wherever he goes. If he comes across another doggo that isn’t having such a great day, he just sits down and passively lays his ears back. He has meet kids from preschoolers to teens and has passed with flying colors. Given his reaction to small critters, a no cat household rule needs to apply for Sir Camden.
A few other notes other notes on Camden
- He is not very vocal. Unless his ball rolls under the chair and he can’t get it. Then barking is 100% appropriate!
- He loves car rides! And riding in the truck too. But his favoriate? The convertible of course! So if you have wheels that will let this boy's ears fly, you might just win his heart!
- Camden used to say “no thanks” to stairs. But as part of his growth in his foster home, now he is a master of all the stairs!
He's a quirky boy, we know. But that’s our Cam for ya!
