April 2024 Camper of the Month
Blu
"We rescued Blue on October 8th of last year. He came all the way from Texas. Blue has settled nicely and provides endless entertainment. He loves his furry brother 'Lil Tucker and whenever he gets excited whether it's about receiving a treat or going for a walk, he jumps on his brother's back. It's sort of his think. Blu enjoys cozy mornings curling up in his bed while Mom works and then chatting endlessly throughout the day with Dad, making sure Dad is aware of his presence. His favorite thing to do is go on a walk and he follows behind his big brother the whole way. He loves visiting Camp Bow Wow and races to the door to play! We are fortunate to be part of the Camp Bow Wow family!"

She's the best hiking buddy and loves a good day at the beach! Her favorite toy is her tennis balls, she's mastered the art of napping and is always up for a stroll in the neighborhood. She loves all the staff at Camp Bow Wow as she's a regular here! Thanks to all the staff for putting up with her silliness!

Ferguson
Ferguson is a German Shepherd and Lab mix. He is such a friendly boy and loves meeting new people. He makes for an excellent vacuum in the kitchen and is always game for a treat! Sometimes Ferguson will make silly grumpy old man noises when lying down and fetch is his favorite game, though dropping the ball is not his expertise. Ferguson is obsessed with the water hose and going on car rides whenever possible.

Roy
"Roy is a 2-year-old Red Golden Retriever and is the sweetest boy you will ever meet! He is full of love and instantly befriends everyone he meets. Roy LOVES all of his 4-legged friends and Camp Counselors at Camp Bow Wow and is sure to greet everyone individually once he is checked into Camp in the morning. While at Camp, you can often find him either playing with his friends, napping in the corner/on the bridge because he is pooped from all of the playing, following a Camp Counselor around to get pets, and/ or playing in the pools/running to eat the water coming out of the Camp Counselor's hose. Roy loves belly rubs, pup cups, playing fetch, and trying to get his 2 cat brothers at home to play with him.

Linq
Linq is our 3 year old French Bulldog who loves long walks on the beach, cuddling by a fire, and making sure everyone knows it's their turn to provide scritches. He's the first one to join you on the couch for a good movie (as long as he can sit in your lap) or the first alarm if any other dog walks within 20 feet of the fence. He's a lover, a ham for attention, and he'll happily test the bacon first to make sure it's cooked properly.

Odin is a big lap dog. Since the day we rescued him at 3 months old he has been the biggest cuddler. Even now at a year and a half and 58 lbs he still thinks he is a lap dog.

Alice
Alice is livin’ her best puppy life! In her spare time, she likes to chase her older siblings, chew on bones, and people watch on her balcony.

Peace, Love, and Tackle is how she strives to live her life.

Winnie is a 2-year old labradoodle who loves peanut butter, tennis balls, and playing with other dogs.

Despite this, Winnie is the best thing that has ever happened to her mom and loved to the moon and back.
April 2023 Camper of the Month
Luka
From Luka's Mom: "He may look like a wolf but he's also as lazy as a house cat. Luka loves going on car rides, going to the dog park and his daily naps. Luka is very shy with other dogs but once he's comfortable he likes to run around with others. If you look into his multi colored eyes you'll see a soft hearted good boy who loves his blankie."
Luka is a sweetheart and we love having him at Camp!
March 2023 Camper of the Month
Cedar
Cedar came to my life as a healing pup - after losing three of my elderly dogs within six months, it was time to mend the space in my heart with a new friend. Cedar trees are a medicinal and spiritual healing tree, honored by my native heritage, and so Cedar's name fit his life role perfectly. He was rescued out of a feral situation involving 200 dogs a little over 4 years ago, and I am honored to be chosen to be his person, and to still be connected with the rescuers and over 150 of the adopters still today. Cedar and I have been through a lot of life and adventures in our four years together, but I bet he'd tell you his favorite pastime is how much he loves his pack of rescue friends. He loves his feral barn kitty playmates, as well as his once feral mustang friend Sweetpea. But the pal he spends most of his time with with his macaw buddy Keoke, who is the "official manager" of my art studio! These two are a hoot together! Cedar is the best friend a girl could ask for, probably the closest friend I've ever had.
February 2023 Camper of the Month
Rio
Rio Rogue Dickinson is our 6 month old Portuguese Water Dog. He loves to take walks, do tricks and is very motivated by food. He joined our family in August and has brought so much joy to our lives.

Lil' Tucker
We adopted Lil' Tucker from an adoption event when he was 4 months old. He traveled to Oregon from Texas and won our hearts immediately. He was 18 lbs at four months and we were told he wouldn't get to more than 45 lbs. Now, a year and a half later at 80 lbs, he's a big fur ball of love. He has a favorite blankie that he likes to cover him at night and loves when he's getting hugs. When we mention 'do you want to go to Camp Bow Wow?' he starts wagging his tail with excitement and looking for his leash. When we told Tucker that he was Camper of the Month, he was so excited, we celebrated with a puppaccino! Thank you, Camp Bow Wow!!
October 2022 Camper of the Month
Porter
Porter came into our family via Oregon Dog Rescue when he was just a puppy old enough to adopt out. Originally from Porterville, California! He loves balls & water, but not balls in the water! Porter can be very shy and it takes him quite some time to warm up to new people. Porter serves as neighborhood watch for all emergency vehicles and sounds his own howling alarm every time he hears a siren. (Just in case you aren't paying attention.) Porter is such a happy guy; especially when he gets to go see all his friends at Camp Bow Wow. He is particularly fond of all the individual attention he receives from his many girlfriends. Porter is so lucky to have such a safe, clean and caring place to just be the best dog he can be!
