Cam (blind, bite history)

Cam (short for camembert) is 4.5yrs old and came to QBSDR with his sister (Brie), after being transferred from another rescue in Nov. 2017. A volunteer for the other rescue happened to be at the vet when the “twins” were brought in to be euthanized due to medical issues, at 10wks old. Cam has Juvenile Hereditary Cataracts and micropthalmia, a hereditary condition that causes smaller than normal eyes that are sunken in, protruding third eyelids, and in his case, blindness. Due to what can only be described as poor breeding, the development of his eyes and body were effected. He has narrowing disc space in his lower back and his temperament is one that is extremely pushy. He is very sensitive to other dogs and energy in general - quick to react to over-excitement around him. Cam is an extremely petite corgi, weighing just 14.5lbs. Cam is a loving boy who is almost always following his people. He is very much the opposite of his sister - outgoing when it comes to meeting new people, loves being sprawled out on his back, lounging in the kiddie pool, and will frequently be found carrying a toy in his mouth. He loves to play fetch (yes, he fetches!) by sensing and smelling for the toy. He’s very intelligent and easily excitable when he’s around his favorite people, or when treats are involved. Cam is hyper-sensitive to the energy around him and requires a calm environment where he is taught to slow down. Due to his blindness, his other senses are extremely sensitive. He displays signs of anxiety when he senses that his pack/people are not around. Cam actively smells his surroundings to “map out” the space and those around him. He and his sister are amazing examples of resiliency and how dogs can adapt, when given the chance. Both he and his sister Brie are sanctuary dogs, where they act as teachers of energy and spacial pressure.
