Amari Labrador Retriever & Shepherd Mix Minneapolis, MN

Amari | 2 years old | 53-pounds

Hello! This summer has been quite the adventure for me. I have really begun to blossom and am excited for what my future holds.

I recently discovered my LOVE for cabin life! I have gotten to do so many awesome things like learn how to swim with help from my foster mom, lounge out on the dock and watch the waves, and take evening naps in the screened-in porch away from those buzzing mosquitoes.

When I spent time at the cabin, I also got to meet a ton of people of all ages, even a baby. I made sure to give the baby a kiss on the foot before I went about my day. It was a great opportunity for me because while I enjoy the company of humans, I also like meeting new humans at my own pace and in a calm setting. The humans were awesome at being patient and at slow introductions, it was great!

So, I think the cabin is my most favorite place to visit. I also have really enjoyed things happening back at my foster home. The other day, my foster mom and I went for a three-mile run and it was super fun. I am still figuring out what the purpose of toys are and until I do, I figure I would just put them all in a pile.

I do really well with other dogs who have a calm demeanor and would enjoy having a dog friend in my forever home to hang out with and learn from. Additionally, I am really looking forward to finding a home with some space to roam.

I’m glad I got the opportunity to share a little of me with you and can’t wait to hear from you soon!
