Amber's Story

Location: Blairemore, AB //<br/>Age: Approx: 2 years //<br/>Sex: Spayed female //<br/>Size: Approx 12 lbs //<br/>Energy level: High //<br/>Dogs: Yes, she needs another playful dog //<br/>Cats: Untested //<br/>Kids: Older, dog savvy kids //<br/><br/>Meet Amber, a 12lb bundle of love and loyalty currently looking for her forever home in Blairmore, Alberta. Described by her foster family as a wonderful and affectionate companion, Amber is a "velvet velcro dog" who thrives on human connection. While she can be a bit shy when venturing out into the world, she is incredibly confident and happy once she settles into her home environment. One of her most endearing and unique traits is her habit of standing up on her back legs to let you hold her front paws—a sure sign that she is ready for some love and attention.<br/><br/>Amber is an ultra-high-energy girl who absolutely lives to run. Her favorite pastime is racing back and forth in a large grassy yard, and she would be the perfect match for a family that enjoys staying active. Because of her zest for life and her desire for constant interaction, Amber should go to a home with another playful dog. She currently lives with a senior dog whom she "bugs" innocently to play, so she would truly thrive with a canine sibling of a similar age and energy level who can keep up with her zoomies and wrestling matches.<br/><br/>In her daily life, Amber is a smart and motivated learner who already knows commands like "come," "quiet," and "no." She is doing fantastic with her house training and will stand by the door when she needs to go outside. While she is a total pro at car rides and enjoys her walks, she can be a bit skittish around loud traffic and will bark at new people when she is feeling scared. She is looking for a patient family who will give her the time she needs to decompress and feel safe. Once she knows she is part of the pack, she is a world-class snuggler who loves to spend her evenings tucked under a blanket right beside you.<br/><br/>Amber handles her kennel well for a few hours at a time and is very content playing with toys in her pen. Because she is so high-energy and prone to running laps at top speed, she would do best in a home with older children who won't be accidentally knocked over by her enthusiasm. Amber is a gentle, kind, and beautiful soul who just wants a family to call her own. If you have a yard for racing and a spot on the couch for cuddling, Amber will reward you with a lifetime of unwavering loyalty.<br/><br/>If you would like to meet Amber, please complete an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
