Camden's Info...
I am good with kids and good with dogs.
Please go to www.findingshelter.org for more information and to submit an application. Thank you!
I'm Camden and one of five puppies looking for a family of my very own. My entire litter of 11 puppies was born on a farm and when we got to be too big with no one to take us off of the farmer's hands, we were surrendered to a shelter. Since we were all very bonded and scared at the shelter, we were overlooked until Finding Shelter accepted five of us and the other six brothers and sisters went to another rescue. Phew! It was a close call. The shelter was really, really crowded. I am the smallest puppy in the bunch and I'm a super playful and smart girl who is very curious about things like the fish tank in the bedroom at my foster home. I don't touch the fish, but I love to watch them! I love my toys and want a family to cuddle with me. If you are looking for a spunky and playful, smart, cuddle bug, I am your girl!

The following guidelines are provided to you, the potential adopter, so you know what to expect throughout the application process. Finding Shelter reserves the right to decline applications and all adoptions are at the discretion of Finding Shelter.
Applicant must be within a 30 mile radius of King of Prussia, PA.
You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt from Finding Shelter.
Submit an application online or at an adoption event. Please include complete veterinary and personal references. Applications may be mailed to you, but submissions via our website are the fastest method to apply. (Please give us a minimum of 48 hours to begin to process your application.)
A Finding Shelter volunteer will review your application and call you with any questions. If all adoption requirements are met a volunteer will call you to set up an appointment.
Initial meeting with Finding Shelter dogs or cats. ALL members of family household are required to meet the Finding Shelter animal(s) before an adoption decision is determined.
At this point, if applicant(s) and Finding Shelter are comfortable proceeding and applicant already has a pet in the household, an introduction will take place for existing family pet(s) to Finding Shelter dog/cat (occasionally, more than one meeting is necessary).
Home visit completed by Finding Shelter volunteer.
Application is approved or denied based on the successful previous steps. Decisions for adoption typically take between one and weeks.
If the application is approved, a Finding Shelter volunteer will complete the adoption process by assisting with a smooth transition of the Finding Shelter animal(s) into their new, permanent home. Adopter will be provided with information about the specific animal's diet, containment/management/crating, baby gating in house when dog is to be left alone, housetraining, safe outdoor exercise, preventative veterinary care, manners and behavior training, etc.
Continued support will be provided for the adopter to ensure a smooth transition and permanent placement of the pet in the adopter's home.
Multiple applications are accepted for all Finding Shelter animals with the intent to make the best match possible. Our concern is for not only the animals, but for the families in the community who lovingly welcome our dogs and cats into their homes. Therefore, Finding Shelter reserves the right to make adoption decisions based on the animal's permanent placement in a loving home.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Camden, a Norristown Border Collie/Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Collie/Labrador Retriever for sale in Norristown, or seeking a Border Collie/Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Norristown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Norristown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Norristown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Border Collie/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Border Collie/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Norristown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Proving that possessiveness is nine-tenths of the law, some fans groused that Watchmen's creator was raining on the movie's parade—which is by now, make no mistake, their parade. Not only have they been waiting for it since Lindsay Lohan was a zygote; they've been hyped all their lives to believe that nothing validates a comic's greatness like seeing it reproduced on film. Yet the rapture of community aside, the basic—and all too often only—gratification involved is as primitive as can be. At heart it's the adolescent version of what makes kindergartners thrilled to see the "real" Snow White at Disney World.
That doesn't mean I can't empathize. Back in my pre-geezer days, the sacred texts my peers and I pined to see Hollywoodized were plain old novels, not graphic ones, but we felt the same way. Just like the bloggers bitching about Moore's perversity, people my age used to be puzzled by J. D. Salinger's refusal to sell The Catcher in the Rye to Hollywood. In hindsight, though, that's one cream pie I'm glad we dodged.
Supposedly, graphic novels are more cinema-friendly by definition, since their visual component is built in. But that's one reason earlier adaptations of Moore's work have seemed redundant at best. V for Vendetta probably came closest to staying faithful to his original, but with a literal-minded clunkiness that didn't do his or our imagination any favors. Besides, the specific target of his fury—Margaret Thatcher's iron rule—was distant history, leaving viewers understandably mystified by the movie's point.
On top of that, even though Watchmen's fascination with America puts Moore up there with the Beatles as long-distance obsessives go, he's as British as kippered herring and public-school sodomy. Any filmmaker who tries to pasteurize that side of him ends up with goo. One offender was the Hughes brothers' dim version of From Hell, Moore's astonishing 543-page (including forty-odd of footnotes) riff on the Jack the Ripper murders. Still, From Hell wasn't an abomination on a par with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which had considerable charm on the page. On film, it might as well have been retitled Revenge of the Kitchen Sink.
So maybe Snyder will break the jinx. But won't Watchmen fans have lost something precious anyway? The truth is, we always do. I don't know of anyone who didn't enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean, but call me sentimental: It's kind of spoiled the original ride for me. Man, how I did love that ride.
