If a strong walker wishes to walk him, they must avoid other dogs, but to be perfectly honest Camel is a sniffer and explorer and really does just enjoy a large and secure garden to play in. Being an older gentleman Camel had settled well into his homely routine and would be happy left on his own for 4 hours.Camel was rehomed recently but due to an unforeseen and sudden medical emergency, his owner is now unable to continue to care for him and is back in our care.
