My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pepita is in search of a special home. Read her whole bio to understand her health concerns. No kids,no big dogs.

Pepita is a retired breeding dog. She's quite small and has suffered from either a past injury or a congenital defect in her right hip/femur head. Although she can walk/run and move about fine right now, her veterinarian currently advises against surgery due to her tiny size of 3.8 lbs.

Pepita needs an adopter who is home all the time or takes her with them, as she tends to cry out if left alone in a kennel or separate room. You also need to let her sleep with you for the same reason or she will scream. She enjoys being held and is very delicate. She is intimidated by larger dogs, even the 15-pound one in her current home, which is a bit too boisterous for her. She prefers the calm dogs. It's recommended that she not be in a home with children, given her small stature. She can be a trip hazard as she will stop and lay like a baby deer at any moment. You have to be very careful where she is. I think she may think I will pick her up if she plops right in front of me. Instead, I try my superman flying moves.

The ideal adopter for Pepita would be someone who is financially prepared for potential future surgery on her hip and possible pain management when she is older. She is incredibly affectionate and charmingly cute. She aspires to accompany her owner everywhere. She is house trained to outside and a potty pad. She did have a dental while with our rescue, including extractions, and requires daily oral maintenance typical for small breeds.

More about this rescue

Camp Companion is a 501c3 organization established in 2003.

Based in Rochester MN, the organization is totally driven by volunteers.

Camp Companion is dedicated to providing low-cost spay and neuter services for feral, farm and stray companion animals. The organization is funded solely by donations, fundraisers, grants, and adoption fees. All funds we receive are used for veterinary expenses and the cost of care incurred for the animals waiting for their forever homes.

Through our spay / neuter efforts, we encounter kittens and stray domestic cats that need rescue services and a forever home. We have no shelter, but rely on foster homes to care for these rescued pets. Every animal we offer for adoption is spayed or neutered.
