About Kamryn

Kamryn is a small black Poodle/Maltese mix, about 2 years old, who has seen more hardship than most dogs her age. She came to rescue with deep fears, and that anxiety can make her defensive—she may nip if she feels threatened. Underneath all that, Kamryn just wants to feel safe. She needs a patient, experienced adopter, and she'd do best in a home with another confident dog to show her the ropes. Building trust with Kamryn isn’t fast or easy, but every breakthrough—even a tail wag—feels like a real victory. If you’re someone who can give a scared dog the space and encouragement she needs, she’ll begin to show you her gentle side over time. Her journey will ask for real commitment, but the reward is watching a frightened dog open up for the first time in her life. She’s ready for a family who understands that healing is a process and who won't give up on her. Kamryn is waiting in Houston, TX, hoping for someone who can see past her fear and give her the safe home she deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
