Story
Hello! I’m Maliki Chibul and I’m one hot mess. Typical story here adopted as a puppy and returned when I became a misunderstood, out of control adult. I’m a herding breed mix with herding breed instincts. I’m mouthy, bark obsessively, and can top the charts in whining. What I love to do in my foster home is play with the resident dog who happens to be my litter mate. He’s teaching me how to dog as I lack confidence. Truth be told, I’m almost scared of my own shadow. I don’t know if it’s okay to meet new people, new dogs, and don’t get me started on new situations, because they confound me. With a calm dog by my side, I’m learning to greet new people and situations without growling and being afraid. Once I’m comfortable with you I’ll jump on you and I’ll hold your arm in my mouth. Children, well, I love to lick them in the face. Cats, on the other hand, I want to play with them especially if they are indoor cats. What I need: Someone who doesn’t mind me getting into their socks especially the dirty ones. Someone to let me carry stuffies around, monitor me with them, and sew them back together again. Someone to help me build my confidence so I don’t submissively potty and stress eliminate. A calm dog to teach me how to be a confident pleasant dog. An owner who is dedicated and willing to spend the time and effort on me. If I sound like the young dog of your dreams, my adoption fee is $350 and I’m available at campcompanion.org.

Story
Update: 3/13/2025 Takia has started to flourish in her foster home and is showing her full personality now that she is completely comfortable. She is very smart and learns quickly with treats. She has mastered crate training, potty training, she also knows how to sit and lay down. She is a vocal dog and likes to talk like a husky and will bark to warn you of any possibility of an intruder. She does also have the husky stubbornness. Takia is very protective of her foster mom and will be an extremely loyal companion once her trust is earned. She adores people as well as receiving attention and affection. She is the best cuddler and does not agree with personal space. Takia does play well with other dogs but is a rough playmate and would do best with dogs who can match her play style. She would also thrive being the only dog in the home. She would be best in a house without cats or small animals as does have a large prey drive and she will chase and bark at the cats. Takia’s ideal home is with an experienced dog owner who is willing to take the time to work with Takia to master her manners and provider her with consistency, love, and structure. Takia would also do best with a fenced yard. Takia had a rough start to the world and each day is learning the joys and wonders of being a beloved pet but she can still be weary of new experiences and will require patience and time to adapt. Once she is comfortable she is an absolute wonderful dog who has a kind and playful soul. She is still young and is an active girl and would benefit from an active owner. Takia loves to play with toys and is an avid chewer. She also loves to steal shoes whenever possible. Takia is a beautiful, sweet young dog with strikingly unique eyes—one of each color! She is well-mannered, potty trained, and loves affection, though she can be a little shy when meeting new people or adjusting to new places. This is understandable, given her recent life changes: she gave birth to a litter of puppies, was rescued, and is now settling into her foster home. As she continues to warm up, it’s clear Takia craves human companionship and loves to be near her people. Despite her past, she’s eager to learn and still has the playful, curious spirit of a puppy. She gets along well with other dogs when introduced properly and enjoys playtime, but she doesn’t quite understand cats and tends to leave them alone. Takia is still learning to relax and enjoy life outside of survival mode, and she’s discovering the joys of toys, especially when it comes to chewing. She loves to cuddle close to her humans, basking in the warmth and comfort of a soft bed or couch. Though she’s still getting the hang of treats, she’s already a fan of mealtime. Takia is making great progress with crate training, and she’s been accident-free in the house. She will benefit from continued leash training and commands like sit or stay, but with patience and consistency, she will thrive. Takia will do best in a family that offers her the grace, love, and stability she needs as she embraces her new life as part of a family.

Story
Meet Jackson: The Adorable 5lb Pomeranian! Jackson is a 5-year-old Pomeranian who would thrive in a calm, one-person home, where he can build a strong bond with his owner. He also requires a fenced yard as he will probably not let you pick him up until he has built a trust with you. Or he will need to drag a leash for a few days. He is not a fan of strangers petting him or trying to pick him up. He gets along well with other dogs in the home, who help him feel more social and confident. Jackson is independent when it comes to his bathroom habits—he’s mastered the doggie door. He’s a quick learner but may try a bit of marking, which he’s easily corrected from with some patience. This is way better now. He is working on leash training. Due to his luxating patella's, is not a hiker or marathon runner. He prefers the comfort of stroller rides and enjoys life at a slower pace. Though he's a bit limited in his physical activities, he still loves to chase a ball (even if he prefers to run off with it instead of bringing it back). His playful nature and love for his owner make him a loyal companion, though he takes some time to warm up to new faces—about four days to be exact! He'll be friendly once he's comfortable, but be warned: he’s not afraid to show his teeth if a stranger gets too close. He’s low maintenance when it comes to crate training and doesn’t whine, making him an easy dog to kennel. Jackson would do best in a quiet, stable home with no young kids and hasn’t been tested around cats. If you're looking for a small, loving companion who will warm your heart over time, Jackson might just be the perfect match for you! Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee is $350 plus tax The reason for requiring a fence is not for exercise. It is so that you are able to get him out to potty without touching him as he takes time to trust his owner.

Story
Meet Sabrina, a sweet, spunky 10-year-old chihuahua who’s full of life! Rescued from a kill shelter in Texas, Sabrina may be missing her left eye and have some cataracts in her right, but that doesn’t slow her down one bit. She gets around like a pro, using the stairs to jump up onto the couch and enjoying every moment. Sabrina is a total cuddlebug and loves snuggling with her people. She’s friendly and social with everyone she meets and has a wagging tail ready to greet her foster mom every time. She’s also housebroken and happily uses the doggie door to go outside to enjoy her favorite spot – the fenced backyard. Sabrina gets along great with other dogs, too! While she was found as a stray in Texas with her friend Sophia, they don’t interact much in the foster home. Sophia is another chihuahua who’s still undergoing medical care but will be available soon. Update: Sabrina had a dental and some teeth pulled, she also had her eye capsule removed and sewed shut so that looks better too. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a heart of gold, Sabrina is the perfect girl for you! Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee is $350 plus tax.

Story
Meet Millie Mae! 🐾 Millie is a young, high-energy sweetheart bursting with love and enthusiasm for life! She's eager to bond with her people and thrives on attention, playtime, and adventure. Millie would do best in an active home where she can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation — hikes, runs, training games, or just playing in the yard are all her idea of a good time! This affectionate girl needs work on her manners and would benefit from a family committed to working on her training with consistency and patience. She’s smart, willing, and just needs the right guidance to shine. Millie is being rehomed because she hasn’t gotten along with the other animals in her current home. However, with slow and structured introductions, she has successfully met and played with a male dog. We believe she could thrive in a home with a calm and submissive, male canine companion. No cats, please — Millie’s energy and prey drive are just a bit too much for them. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic, and loving pup to be your adventure buddy and best friend, Millie just might be your girl! 👉 Apply to adopt at: www.campcompanion.org Adoption Fee: $350 + tax
