Story
This is Camilla. Underhound will be pulling her from Vance County, NC. She was surrendered with her sister and son, Roscoe. She is a fun-loving, playful girl who deserves to be pampered. She has had several litters of puppies. She is dog and kid friendly. She is noted to be heartworm positive so she will stay in NC until she returns a negative result after obtaining heartworm treatment. Raising Aid for Dogs At Risk (RADAR) will be providing Underhound Railroad with a grant to help cover Camilla's heartworm treatment costs. Camilla has proven to be the sweetest girl and reminded us all again how dogs can forgive, forget and still have such love to give even after a life of hardship. After spending her short life being bred constantly, she found herself dumped in a North Carolina shelter along with her son, Roscoe and (pregnant) sister, Penelope. Her dear face and beautiful smile caught the eye of Underhound Railroad, a rescue based in Maine, and they knew right away they had to get her out of the scary shelter and into a loving home. Camilla faced not just the challenge of escaping the full shelter where she found herself, but also the fact that she tested positive for Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Heartworm disease, diagnoses that dramatically hindered her likelihood at a rescue. Underhound quickly looked for assistance to keep Camilla safe - funding for her heartworm treatment. Underhound contacted RADAR for assistance and they immediately agreed to help Camilla. Camilla will begin her treatment in April. Once she has completed her protocol she will travel to Maine, healthy and happy, to find her forever home. Because of RADAR’s support Underhound was also able to rescue, Roscoe, Camilla’s son too! Her foster family says this about Camilla: We first met Camilla when we picked her up at the veterinarian's office where she had just had her spay surgery. She immediately stole our hearts with her diminutive size, gentle way, and soft, expressive brown eyes. And also her strength! Five vet assistants couldn’t keep a cone collar on her for more than 30 minutes at a time. This experienced mama knows what she will and won’t do! Camilla quickly began to show herself to be a good patient and a loving and well-mannered dog. She hasn’t made a peep since she arrived - such a quiet girl - except for a tiny whimper when she needs to go potty. She has a habit of wrinkling her lips when she is excited or hungry and it makes us laugh! She is wonderful with our three-year-old daughter. She will be a delightful addition to her new forever family one day. She loves being with Roscoe, they sleep curled up together, share their meals and we might add, Camilla always wins their games of tussle ! She has not let her past life color her present in the slightest and thanks to RADAR, once recovered from heartworms, she is ready to face her happiest chapter. Happy Life, beautiful Camilla! When she arrives in Maine, she will be available for adoption. For an adoption application, please go to UnderhoundRailroad.org. #radardogs @radardogs.orgJuly 12, 2024, 1:07 pm
