Cammie is ready to make friends — she'll get along great with other dogs and cats. She is already vaccinated, and she's been spayed. She has work to do on house training etiquette.
From Cammie's caretaker:
Cammi is available for adoption, she is a very sweet girl who was found as a stray. No one came forward to claim this pretty girl, so she is being fostered by her finder and he absolutely adores her. His schedule isn’t allowing him to keep her, so he entrusted her to us. She has been tested with cats and other small furry babies, she did very well. Cammi is between 5-6 yrs old and is a Lab/Golden Mix, approximately 45-50lbs. Everyone who has met her and just loves her sweet disposition.

Polo, American Staffordshire terrier and pit bull terrier mix
Polo is a male American Staffordshire terrier and pit bull terrier mix being cared for at East CAN (Community Action Network).
He's vaccinated, and he's been neutered. He's mastered his house training etiquette.
From Polo's caretaker:
Polo is a two year old, ninety pound American Bully. His heart is as big as his head. He is crate trained and house trained. He is very affectionate and will stand still as long as you are petting or loving on him. He is highly food motivated and knows the commands "sit" and "stay." While he adores all things food (especially blueberries), he is not food aggressive. Polo is cuddly and loving. Due to his solid build, children under 10 are not recommended as "siblings" for him. He doesn't know his own strength and can step on or knock into people. He would do best as an only dog to a loving family or companion. He is not hyper and likes to be with his people. In his dream world, he is allowed to snuggle on the couch.... on a couch with a human petting machine.
