Story
Buddy here! I come from an ok home, but my family decided they could not properly care for me any longer. Not because of anything I did, just because of their current situation. I'm a bit of a barker, but only when my toys get stuck someplace I can't reach. I am current on all age appropriate vaccinations, and altered. I am completely blind, and have a heart murmer (but I don't need meds for it). Because I'm blind, a fenced in yard would be ideal, but my foster knows that even without a fence I stay pretty close to home when I'm outside alone. Also, if things are left on the floor I will trip over them, so a tidy, quiet house is really ideal for my new home! I'm also house trained, but until I learn where the door is to let you know I need to go out, I may have a few accidents. Here's a side note from my foster family: I don't know that Buddy necessarily needs someone that's home all the time. He is a pretty relaxed dog with minimal anxiety. He just finds his way to the couch when I'm away from home and sleeps and he prefers to sleep overnight on the couch alone too. He just needs a home with some patience to learn his cues. Contact steelecountyhumanesociety@gmail.com or call 507-451-4512 to set up a meet-n-greet. My adoption fee is $300.

Story
Meet Hannah – Shih Tzu Breeder Release Hannah is a sweet, shy girl who is learning to embrace the comforts of home life after her time in a puppy mill. While she may initially be reserved, once she gets to know you, her gentle nature shines through. On her first night with us, she was understandably anxious and barked all night, but with a little reassurance, she quickly adapted and now enjoys sleeping in the bed with us for comfort and security. Hannah loves nothing more than relaxing on the couch with you, soaking up the warmth and companionship. She would thrive in a calm, patient environment with a gentle, social dog who can help her learn the ropes of living in a home. When it comes to potty training, Hannah is making progress. She will go outside if you carry her out, and she can go back in on her own once she’s finished. If she’s in an x-pen, she’s also content using pee pads. Hannah is looking for a quiet home with no small children or dominant dogs, where she can take the time she needs to adjust to her new life and feel truly safe and loved. With a little patience and kindness, she will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion. Hannah is not leash trained at the moment so would benefit with a fenced yard. She will not do well as an only dog and no fence. Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee is $350 plus tax.

Story
Meet Shooter, an incredibly sweet and affectionate Shih Tzu with the most endearing personality. This little guy loves to follow you around, always wanting to be close—but what truly makes him special is the way he’ll sit at a distance and just watch you, as if he’s completely mesmerized. It’s the most adorable thing ever! Shooter is a retired breeding dog. He’s currently working on potty training, is already kennel trained, and is making progress with leash training. He gets along well with other dogs and doesn’t mind the cat, choosing to simply ignore it. With his gentle nature and loving heart, Shooter is sure to make the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal, quiet observer who adores his person. Shooter had a dental done and had to have almost all of his teeth removed. He has 3 teeth left. He will eat soft food for a few weeks but then can eat normal dry food, small bites.

Story
Carter is the sweetest little breeder release shih tzu. Carter loves to be held and snuggled. He likes to wander around and explore his surroundings. He is a little sweetheart. He uses pee pads and does well in a kennel. On his ride home from the vet he just wanted to be held (see pic). Godric does have Glaucoma and will need daily eye drops 2-3 times a day for the rest of his life. These are so easy to give him. He is wonderful with them. He also had an extensive dental and had a broken jaw that Camp Companion got fixed when he came into rescue, and he is recovering well from this. He has to have soft food for 6-8 weeks. Carter is being fostered with Godric (Shih Tzu) and Malley (Apricot Toy Poodle). Apply to adopt at: www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee: $350 plus tax

Story
Godric was rescued from a breeder who was closing down. He’s a bit shy and skittish but enjoys being held and is affectionate. He would thrive in a home with another confident, well-adjusted dog of similar size. Currently, he’s not leash trained, so he would need a secure fence for outdoor time. He’s great with pee pads and keeps his kennel clean. Godric lives happily with both a cat and other dogs. Godric had an extensive dental and needs to go back to be neutered, and the rest of his dental completed before adoption. Godric was also diagnosed with genetic glaucoma and will be on eye meds for the rest of his life. 2-3 times a day. He will be ready for adoption in a few weeks but is accepting applications at this time. Apply to adopt at: www.campcompanion.org Adoption fee: $350 plus tax
