Pickles

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   If you would like to take me home please complete a Pet Adoption Application   HOSPICE - This adult rottie is super affectionate and loves to spend time with his people.HOSPICE CARE UPDATE - 9/4/25 Pickles is a Camp and Treat App favorite and Sanctuary resident,  and a pup everyone who follows us knows….our Pickles. This boy was brought in as a stray by the dog warden 12/19/2021 in pretty bad shape….and “not in a good mood” if you catch our drift! He was not at all pleased being with us for the first few months he came to stay at Camp. The staff worked with him and worked with him until he started to realize people weren’t all that bad and that high value treats came with realizing that bit of information. Then came long walks around the ponds and swimming in the creek, romping around in his private pen, and having some very special people attend all his needs…Pickles settled into being a happy boy. Last fall/winter our sanctuary dogs had their rooms upgraded by a wonderful woman’s donation (more about that another time) into “no touch rooms”. There are no more kennels: just people beds and tv’s, radios and private pens with doggie doors to come and go as you please. Pickles has loved the upgrades and for being at Camp…is living his best life so far. Unfortunately our kennel manager discovered his lymph nodes the size of golf balls while brushing him…they popped out suddenly….we called the vet office and while waiting a couple days to get in….another in his chest. Our hearts sunk and our worst fears were realized when the biopsy came back positive for lymphoma. Pickles is now in hospice care at Camp, taking mushrooms and meds for pain to keep him comfy. He is loving his car rides, McDonald’s, and pup cups. If you would like to donate to help us make whatever time he has left with us special for him… we will use those donations for hamburgers, meatballs, pup cups, and whatever else Pickles wants…Pickles will get! Www.camppapillon.org   BIO: Pickles is super affectionate and loves to spend time with his people. Pickles enjoys lounging on the couch, going for long walks around our pond, car rides, treat puzzles and having play time in the pen. Pickles is a cuddle bug and will find the perfect spot right on top of you!  This boy is housebroken, crate trained and active.  Pickles must be an only pet, but has so much love to give. A teenage and up or adult only home would be best for him due to his energy and size!  Complete an application at www.camppapillon.org.  Once your app is approved, the office will schedule an appointment to meet Pickles! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  September 4, 2025, 5:05 pm
