Amelia's Story

Amelia was attacked twice by a bigger dog in her home, both times she was bitten on her head. The first attacked resulted in her losing an eye. Thankfully the 2nd attack was only a head wound that healed quickly. Her owners wanted her euthanized and of course we stepped up to save her! She is the sweetest girl. She loves people so much and is fine with dogs. She loves to prance around like a little diva and sleep on your bed if you don't mind. She's not fond of crates but will tolerate short term. She will not want to sleep in one all night though. Amelia had to be shaved down due to the condition of her coat so these photos are about two weeks post shave. She will grow a LONG coat and require brushing/grooming. It's a beautiful, silky "parti" colored coat. She is 6 and weighs 10 lb. We don't know if she's purebred, but who cares, she's an angel. She does well with housetraining if you watch her signals and take out often.
