I'm ready for my new family!

09/09/24 Weight: 48lbs   

Estimated DOB: 5/20/20             

This is our sweet Kamyla. She enjoys hanging out inside being a couch potato or following you around happily in the yard taking an occasional siesta in the sun.  Kamyla responds well to confident, fair, and consistent leadership. She's super easy to walk on leash and we imagine she would love long walks up trails or on the beach. Kamyla would do best in a home that welcomes her as their only pet. She does get along with select dogs with proper introductions. This sweet gal has been at our rescue way too long and just needs to find that special someone to share her dog days with! Do you have room in your heart and home for sweet Kamyla? Please contact Cortez Rescue & Outreach to meet.

Kamyla is currently in Baja Sur, Mexico but is ready to fly to So Cal, Portland, Seattle or Vancouver BC areas!

Foster Updates:

08/10/24 Kamyla is now part of a pack of 7! She's doing amazing has learned to trust other dogs. Though she is not a fan every dog she meets she is happy to co-habitate with them. Kamyla probably prefers males but does have a female in the home that she adores. Kamyla loves her walks and beach time. She loves her babies, stuffed toys and balls. She just wants to be where ever you are.  

05/26/24  Kamyla continues to prove what a great dog she is. She's been in foster with a 84 year old woman, who adores her and refers to her as "baby girl". Kamyla likes to spend most of her time where ever her foster mom is, inside or out.  She loves when company comes over and will take all the pets you have to give.  She likes to toss her toys around and bark at passer byers, be it horses, cows or whatever. Kamyla likes going for walks and is good on leash. Kamyla has showed no interest in other dogs or animals while out on walks. There is a little Chihuahua that likes to come out for a visit when she is being walked but seems like she just wants to play. Kamyla is not out looking for trouble and prefers to keep to herself and enjoy her walk. Kamyla also loves going for car rides. 

09/11/23: Foster update: Kamyla continues to thrive. Although she is not 100% great with my other dogs, I feel she could have another dog in the home with an experienced owner. She prefers males. However, Kamyla would be great in a home as the only pet. All she wants is her person to lay on the couch with and toss a ball or toy a few times a day. She does have a silly, playful side and that has only come out since being in a foster home. 

07/27/23: I took Kamyla, aka Myla, in when she tragically injured herself by rupturing a disc which left her paralyzed in her back end. I was very leery having her because her history with other dogs was not good.  But I could not leave her in a shelter in her condition. Surgery was scheduled 6 days after her injury. Within hours after surgery she was up walking again. She spent 4 weeks resting and only allowed out on leash. This girl was so resilient, and it was amazing to be part of her recovery. Kamyla has been with us now for 2 months. The change in her has been nothing but miraculous. She is slowly becoming part of my pack of 5. She has zero aggression towards the other dogs. She is just happy to be part of the family. She really likes a couple of my dogs and even wants to play but I'm not too sure about that yet. She avoids eye contact with my female and another big male I have; but she never growls or lunges at any of them. Kamyla does spend a lot of her time behind a kiddy gate where she can see all of us and most of her time outside by herself. There are hours in the days when I leash her up and she is happy to go and do whatever I do. All the while not bothering any of the other dogs. She is learning to trust. Kamyla really deserves a home to call her own.

History: Kamyla was found wandering on the highway in the middle of nowhere. It's obvious she has had many litters of pups. Once safe and sound at the rescue Kamyla was not happy being contained or alone. She is super excited when the volunteers get her out.

Before leaving Cortez Rescue, all dogs will be given a full medical assessment to ensure optimum health, current on vaccinations, and  spayed/neutered. All dogs are microchipped before leaving Mexico.
