Pet Corner: Cammy

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - Name: Cammy

Breed: hound/beagle mix

Age: 8.5 years

Sex: Spayed Female

Color: Brown

I was originally a Dixie Dog, coming to Dakin from the South 1.5 years ago. 

Sadly, my first adopter passed away.  It was quite an ordeal for me and I’ve been very depressed but the kind folks at Dakin are helping me find my new family.   

If you are looking for a very mild mannered and sweet girl who LOVES other dogs, then look no further!  I even walk nicely on a lead.  Unlike some younger pups, I am pretty mellow. My ideal home would provide daily walks, play, and affection. The staff at Dakin thinks that I would be ok with kids, but I will need to meet the whole family to know for sure before being adopted.  If you think that I might be the dog for you, please ask the staff for the chance to meet me!

Events and Update

• Fourth of July Fireworks Safety Tips for Pets:

Fireworks -

• During the holiday celebrations, keep animals away from the fireworks and in a cool, quiet room.  Soft music or white noise is helpful.
• The room should have secure doors and windows:  some dogs will jump through screens to get away from the noise.
• If pets are outside, they should be on a leash and have proper identification.

Barbeque -

• Pets can be badly burned in pit fires and camp fires.  Do not allow your animal near any open flames.
• Foil, plastic wrap, and string can be dangerous if ingested.  Keep out of pet’s reach and dispose used items in tightly covered trash bin. 
• Tasty “leftovers” including corn cobs and bones which can become lodged in the esophagus or intestines potentially causing a blockage.
• Several foods to avoid include fatty sausages (pancreatitis), chocolate from s’mores (chocolate toxicity), and mushrooms (mushroom toxicity can prove fatal to certain dog breeds).
