Campbell is an adorable and loving 10 month old Rottweiler x looking to find his perfect forever. Campbell’s favourite thing in the world is hearing you come into the room, he will come galloping over with his bum wiggling a million miles an hour.
Campbell came to SNARL from Texas, where he was found with a massive skull fracture as a suspected result of abuse. Campbell has a severe traumatic brain injury as a result. He does not display any fear to people as a result of his past, demonstrating his incredible resiliency.
While in SNARL care, he has been learning how to interact with the world around him all over again. He loves relaxing in the back yard, lazing in the sun as much as he can, and loves to sit at your feet for ear rubs. His rehab has been focused on many of the principles that mirror human brain injury rehab; routines, social skills, tolerance, and comfort, all while teaching him that it's safe and okay to rest and relax. He does extremely well with a routine during the day. He has learned that he loves to use his nose to seek out treats, carry around his favourite toys, and nap on comfy beds.
