Chamomile, pit bull terrier and Labrador retriever mix

Chamomile is a winsome female pit bull terrier and Labrador retriever mix currently residing at Humane Animal Rescue.

Chamomile is already spayed.

Here's more about Chamomile:

Chamomile (or Cami, for short) is an adventure pup. She is a rambunctious and athletic gal, who would love an active home, where she can hike and explore the world and have a general good time. With a fair amount of puppy behavior, Cami would benefit greatly from behavior training classes to really perfect her manners. Cami would do best as the only dog in an adult household, so she can receive all of your attention.
