Meet Kammie – a very special dog in need of our help!

  Kammie has the perfect pibble personality – she just can’t get enough lovin’ from the humans around her! After cuddling, her favorite activity is finding the perfect cushy spot for nesting – whether it’s the cushions of the couch, a pile of pillows on the bed or even a basket of laundry will do in a pinch. Her affinity for comfy spots isn’t surprising given her rough start in life and the disability she copes with every day.

  Kammie came to Casa Del Toro after last August’s dog fighting raid in Orange County (IN) where she had spent her life chained in the woods with 70+ other neglected and abused dogs. In addition to having survived these rough conditions, Kammie suffers from an inoperable condition in her hind legs which makes it difficult for her to get around.

  Her condition and history should have made it difficult to find her a forever family, but Kammie’s gentle disposition and outgoing personality helped her hit the adoption jackpot. A vet tech and her veterinarian husband want to add her to their wonderful family that includes six human children, 3 other paralyzed dogs who use carts to get around, a number of special needs small breed dogs who they met when assisting authorities in assessing dogs from a number of different puppy mill raids in the midwest. (They also have two of the Missouri 500 from the multi-state dog fighting bust in July of last year.)

  In addition to caring for their large family, Dr. Mike and Candice do a lot of educational outreach to raise awareness about giving homes to special needs dogs, about the horrors of puppy mills and about the wonderful truth of pit bull love. Because they will be raising awareness about the plight of pit bulls, changing hearts and minds so that more shelter pit bulls have a chance at adoption and so that more people will speak out when they suspect dog fighting,

Recently Kammie visited  WTHI news Station [Terre Haute] with "Greg the Pet Guy" to talk about her story &  the reality of Dog Fighting issues in Indiana. Kammie changed many minds and dispelled a lot of  Myths that surrounded Dogs that are rescued from Fighting bust, she walked away leaving the News team with the fact that each dog should be judged & assessed  as individuals.  Please enjoy her little visit to the News Station.

The first person Kammie decides to visit is Kyle who is sleepy.

While Abby is working on the 5:30 AM show, Cody decides to walk over and meet Kammie.

Kammie only has one thing on her mind... Give me attention!
