Amelia's Story

Meet Amelia!<br/><br/>Amelia is an almost 8-year-old Shepherd mix that is around 91 pounds, and fully grown! Amelia is a large, tall, girl with an even bigger heart. She is potty and housetrained. She is very playful and loves our playgroups. Miss Amelia has a crush for small to medium-sized male dogs and likes to show off her fancy footwork with the balls in our play yards. Amelia loves car rides with her favorite volunteers and never says no to a burger. Fluffy blankets are the best and kisses are mandatory! She loves passionately but trusts slowly, we feel Amelia may have had abuse in her past and is very slow to trusting people that are new to her. She will require a dog savvy home with someone who has worked with abused or traumatized rescues, and willing to take the time to complete slow introductions and multiple meets with her, in order for her to feel comfortable. Because she has a hard time trusting, she would do best in a home with a 6ft privacy fenced in yard.<br/>If you would be interested in meeting/adopting Amelia, please fill out an adoption application on our website.<br/>Some information may change overtime, as we get to know them better.

AHeinz57 Pet Rescue & Transport, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Step 1: Adoption Application -Fill out an online adoption application. This is not a binding contract. -If you have a specific animal in mind or would like help identifying a suitable match, the completion of the application starts this conversation. -All applications go through a verification process before moving on to Step 2. -Vet Record Verification: We check to ensure that current pets are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. -Home Ownership/Landlord/HOA Verification: We check to ensure pets are allowed at this home and ask about any breed restrictions from the landlord, HOA or city. -If there are any hiccups during the verification process, a volunteer will email you about the status of your application. -If you haven’t heard from us within 48 hours of submission, please check your spam folder! -Please understand that at times we receive multiple applications for the same dog. Our volunteers work tirelessly to ensure the best fit for each dog. Step 2: Meet and Greet -Once your application is verified, an adoption coordinator will be in touch as quickly as possible to discuss next steps. -The adoption coordinator can answer any questions you have about the dog and our process, and they will connect you with the foster volunteer to set up a meet and greet. -We require a meet and greet with all human and furry residents of the home to ensure we are finding the best fit for everyone. Step 3: Home Visit -A home visit is mandatory prior to any dog adoption. -After a successful meet and greet, a home visit volunteer will schedule a time for a home check. -Home visits are not meant to be intrusive. The goal of a visit is to see where our adoptees will live and give adopters a chance to know us better. -The most important thing for us is to know that our animals are going to safe and caring homes and that all members of the family are prepared for a lifelong commitment to their new companion.
