Amelia is 2 years old and she weighs 26 lbs. and we believe she is a blend of Whippet and Italian Greyhound. We do not guarantee her breed since it’s just an educated guess on our part.
Amelia was rescued October 21, 2021. She came from a hoarding / abuse situation and she was severely emaciated and unable to stand due to starvation. Amelia received care for several weeks at the shelter before she was available as a “Rescue Only” pup due to her background. She was only one yrs old.
Amelia has been with the same fosters in Riverside since her rescue. Her personality is perplexing to say the least. She was obviously traumatized in her past life with the hoarder. Amelia needs someone, a person with experience, understanding and who has had experience dealing with dogs who will shut down with change!
She has come as far as her fosters can take her. She needs to be in a home where daily touching and socializing will be done. She will respond more to one person handling her than an entire family.
Amelia WILL NOT BITE !!!!!! She is a kind dog and good with other dogs and cats.
HER CRATE IS HER SAFE PLACE. Change is difficult for her and her young life was filled with so much emotional abuse with the things she witnessed that she is not a dog you can bring home and turn her loose in your backyard! She will bolt and she has tremendous athletic ability and she will try and scale your SIX FOOT fence.
She MUST be walked with harness and 2 leashes in the beginning. You will also do this with her in your own yard when she first comes to you. Experience and patience is the key. Nothing less!
Amelia is beautiful and deserves to expand her life. She needs and wants that one special person who will be HER special person.
