About Cami

Cami has spent the last year in rescue in Oklahoma and now needs a quiet, patient home. She’s a medium-sized, short-haired Terrier/Lab mix weighing around 30-35 lbs as of her first birthday in late January. Cami’s nature is sweet but extremely shy—she’s retreated even more since her sister’s departure, and thrives in the company of other dogs. With a playful canine companion by her side, her confidence comes out. Cami isn’t housebroken yet but does keep her crate clean overnight. She needs work on the leash and will require a fenced yard, especially early on, as she’s a flight risk until trust builds. Her best environment is tranquil, with adults or teens over 14, and at least one friendly dog. She’s already spayed and fully vaccinated, with all health checks current and included in her adoption fee. Reliable pickup at a listed transport location is required. She’s waiting for someone willing to put in the time and heart to help her come out of her shell. What are you waiting for? Apply today!

Questions about Cami

What type of living environment is this breed usually best suited for?
Terrier/Labrador mixes like Cami tend to do well in homes that offer a stable, predictable routine and plenty of positive interaction. She would thrive in a quiet household, ideally with another friendly dog and adults or older teens who understand her shy, gentle temperament.
How much outdoor space does this breed typically need?
As a Terrier/Labrador mix, Cami needs regular outdoor time and would benefit from a secure yard. She needs enough space to safely explore, especially given her shyness and tendency to bolt if frightened.
Is this breed typically suitable for homes with children?
Cami’s breed mix can do well with children, but due to Cami’s specific needs and timid nature, a home with children over 14 is best. She prefers a calm environment where she won’t be overwhelmed.
Is this breed usually better for first-time or experienced owners?
While many Terrier/Labrador mixes can suit newer dog owners, Cami herself needs someone experienced or especially patient with shy, sensitive dogs to help her blossom.
Does this breed typically get along with dogs?
Yes, Cami gets along very well with other dogs and gains confidence around them. A resident playful dog would be ideal for her continued emotional growth.
Does this breed typically get along with cats?
Terrier/Labrador mixes can often acclimate to homes with cats if introductions are slow and supervised. Cami’s shyness may mean she’d be more likely to avoid rather than chase a cat.
Does this breed typically get along with small animals?
With gentle introductions, this mix can do okay with small animals, but supervision is always needed due to Terrier hunting instincts. Cami’s timid demeanor may help, provided small pets are safe and calm.
How does this breed typically behave with strangers?
Cami is especially shy and reserved around new people, taking time to warm up. Terrier/Lab mixes, in general, can be friendly, but Cami herself will need patience and gentle handling with strangers.
How long can this breed typically be left alone?
Cami will likely do best with company, either from people or a resident dog, as her shyness may worsen if left alone for extended periods. Terrier/Labrador mixes generally prefer not to be left alone for long stretches.
What level of training does this breed usually require?
Cami needs positive, gentle training—especially to build trust and improve her housebreaking and leash skills. These breeds respond well to patient, reward-based methods.
