Camille, our 11 pound 3 year old chihuahua mix, is a late sleeper. Not because she's up all night; our Camille just prioritizes her beauty rest. If her people want to get up early, more power to them - Camille will be up when she's ready. Speaking of being ready, Camille is plenty ready to find her own home to sleep in.

Found stray, Camille had recently whelped puppies and her skin was a mess from a flea infestation. She HATED the shelter. We were asked to help get her somewhere quiet and we gladly took her in. Camille is now flea-free, her hair is growing back, and we spayed her - the responsibility of motherhood was not something she wanted to repeat.

Camille is on the very shy side. Once she picks her person (she seems to gravitate toward women), she is friendly, cuddly, and funny. Camille loves parking herself on her foster-mom's lap and gets soooo excited to see her that she can hardly stand it. New people initially spook Camille; so do loud noises, whistling, and unfamiliar weird objects. For that reason, we suspect Camille would do best in a calm home with older kids.

Camille is good with dogs and has been respectful of cats. She is crate trained and mostly quiet; like most chihuahuas, Camille will let her people know when she sees someone outside. Camille is JUST starting to play, but has already expressed her love of food. In fact, Camille can jump high and will get up on the counter to sneak left over snacks. If caught, she looks sheepish, and shows you her belly.

Camille's foster mom says no dog has ever liked a yard less - Camille is an indoor kid. She likes being able to escape to her spot on the couch when she's feeling unsure. However, Camille does like walks and will pee while on leash. For that reason, we think Camille would do fine in an apartment. A quieter neighborhood may be best - unfamiliar humans and strange dogs walking toward Camille creep her out.

Camille is heartworm negative and is current on her flea and heartworm preventions.

Have you given up whistling and hosting parties? Do you now prefer the quiet life? Don't mind occasionally sharing your snacks with a sweet chihuahua?
