Camille

Adopted!

Camille is a 4-month-old GSD mix rescued from a shelter a few days ago. She is a very sweet pup and loves to give little kisses. Camille also stands on her hind legs (very gracefully holding her own weight) then puts a paw on you so she can get more pets, hugs and kisses. Shadow already. When she earns a “good girl” she has the cutest bright/wide eyed expression and a tail that wags continuously with pride of accomplishment. First meeting with foster Brother Harley (100 lb GSD), sister Raven (Alpha-Blk Lab 65 lbs) and Sister Ginger (Golden Ret 75 lbs), Camille backed up, sat down and growled at all three of them through a baby gate. My we had a chorus here then! But after 24 hours of watching her new sibs she joined in the fun of racing around the yard, chasing balls and “de”stuffed animals. In between “puppy naps” her favorite game is hiding behind a bush/tree for 30 seconds until she leaps out and runs like the wind. The outside world was also new to her but she is not running back in the house as often now but lingers with us in the yard. Nighttime brings shadows….so she froze, barked and ran through the sliding screen to escape the monster. Between our laughter we were able to coax her out again and just sat holding her in the grass for a few minutes. Camille also climbed over a 42” x pen in 2 minutes flat so a fence 5-6 foot would be best for her. Today she went potty in the grass for the first time – before she would run back to her crate and use her newspaper. She does learn quickly and when praised for going potty outside she pranced around like a princess dressed for the ball. Camille also passed the 48 hour “kid” test unshaken by the 3, 6, 9 or 10 year old. Noise, running, hugging and even her tail tugged she just kissed them back. Our cat also made her back up and bark like “What was that and where did it come from?!?” She is a delightful petite, agile, resilient pup that would fit well in any family willing to give a little guidance, some laughter and lots of love/affection. She thrives on being close, cuddles and kisses you every chance she gets. My “pet name” for her is “Yetta” = “little one” in German my husband likes to call her “Peppy” as she races around him when he returns home from the office. Are you the right family to love and guide this delightful little pup so she will grow into a confident adult? DBTVA VGSR Tag #1457 Adopted: 05/05/06.
