Amelia's Story

Amelia is a sweet senior lady with a calm, loving spirit and a heart full of quiet loyalty. Though her face may be a little gray, her eyes are bright, and her trot is steady. She would make a great work-from-home partner or study buddy and is the perfect mix of laid-back and ready-for-adventure.<br/><br/>Here's what else makes Amelia such a gem:<br/> Great on walks: Doesn't pull, trots along happily, and responds gently to light leash pressure.<br/> Easy eater: No food sensitivities here! Amelia eats whatever she's given and never makes a fuss.<br/> Polite treat-taker: Gently takes snacks and will sit attentively while she waits.<br/> Car ride ready: Jumps in with minimal help and loves to go along for the ride (though she's careful getting down - possibly due to mild arthritis).<br/> Easy-going personality: Doesn't chase cars, or overreact to other dogs or new people. Just a calm, composed sweetheart.<br/><br/>Amelia has done great meeting other dogs at adoption events and public spaces. She previously lived with two other dogs and is happiest with regular dog and/or human companionship. Although Amelia previously lived with several cats she's not up for new feline friends at this stage in her life. <br/><br/>Amelia has been fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. <br/><br/>She's ready to find a home that appreciates the love and ease a senior dog brings. If you're looking for a low-maintenance, loyal companion to enjoy walks, quiet evenings, and simple joys, Amelia might be the perfect fit. She's ready to love and be loved.
