Why did you decide to foster Cammy?
My husband and I had recently moved into our house and were working on getting settled before taking in a new foster. That was until we saw her rescue video from the animal control officer’s body cam and she absolutely broke our hearts. We immediately knew that she needed to be our new foster baby!

Does Cammy have any nicknames?
Cammy Cam, Cam

How would you describe her in three words?
Sweet, silly, and spunky

What is Cammy’s favorite thing?
Just being with people honestly. She likes her toys and to go on walks, but mostly she just enjoys company and being loved on. Car rides are also high up on her list!

Describe Cammy’s perfect day:
Taking a car ride, going on a nice walk, play date with some doggie friends and just relaxing the rest of the day at home. Lounging on the couch chewing on some bones and just being her silly self!

Describe Cammy’s ideal family:
I would describe her ideal family as low-key, who just enjoy some good ‘Netflix and chill’ days here and there. Another dog or cat would be nice, Cammy likes to give doggy and kitty kisses to her furry friends!

Why did you decide to foster Phoenix?
He needed someone immediately for medical attention and to show him love. His story really broke our hearts and we were committed to getting him the best care for his recovery.

Does Phoenix have any nicknames?
We call him Bit Pit which has morphed into Bippit.

How would you describe him in three words?
Resilient, smart and sweet

What is Phoenix’s favorite thing?
Laying on my feet and treats

Describe Phoenix’s perfect day:
Laying on my feet all day intermixed with brief burst of wrestling with his foster sister Sweet Pea. He’s pretty calm for a puppy!

Describe Phoenix’s ideal family:
His main request would be someone who is home a lot. He does not like to be left alone, ever, and is not a fan of the crate. Although, he will go in and lay down when he knows he has to, but has separation anxiety. He needs someone patient because he does occasionally get scared at noises he doesn’t recognize and bark. Very small kids may be too much for him due to his past trauma.
