About Poppy & Camille

I can't recall a time when I've seen such an adorable duo. Poppy (5 lbs) and Camille (10 lbs) are 8 year old friends (maybe sisters, we aren't sure) that are looking for their forever home together. Poppy and Camille originally came to MHCR as a transfer from a local CO shelter. They came into that shelter severely matted, teeth rotting out of their heads, and Poppy was unable to walk due to severe luxating patellas. Her matting was so bad it hid the extent of her orthopedic issues for several days. Soon, the girls got shaved, had dentals, got spayed, and their medical needs were then very, very obvious. Poppy was in need of extensive reconstruction on her back legs. They folded inwards and were unable to straighten. So, they joined a MHCR foster home and Poppy went to see an ortho vet. She soon had surgery and was finally able to ambulate on all 4 legs again! What a sight she is! Camille is an overall very healthy girl. She did have a mammary mass removed, but per pathology, it was benign. Camille is a very social, affectionate girl. She's always the first one on a visitor's lap soliciting love and affection. Poppy tends to stay back. Now that she can walk and run, one of Poppy's favorite past times is chasing squirrels. Both girls enjoy taking car rides, hanging out in the backyard, sleeping in bed with their foster mom, and getting the occasional zoomies. We are seeking a forever home with at least a small yard, no shared walls, kiddos over the age of 7 (due to their size and delicate nature) and humans able to provide plenty of love, affection, and regular grooming. Both girls are dog friendly, potty pad trained, and mostly house trained. They can be slightly underfoot, an important consideration for those with mobility issues. They are a bonded pair and will only be adopted to a home together. Poppy & Camille are being fostered in Longmont, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/poppy-camille/.
