She adores cuddles and being read to, which makes her such a gentle and loving companion. She really enjoys chewing on tennis balls, but I’d recommend using sturdier toys like Kongs, as she tried to tear through the one I brought her. Overall, I had a fantastic time with Campbell today—she’s a joy to be around!To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org May 6, 2025, 7:39 pm
