My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Amari
Amari is a female Hound/Lab mix.

DOB: April 2023
Adoption fee: $125.00

I am a very smart girl. I recently returned to the shelter from a 10-week training course where I learned a few tricks and how to better walk on leash. I did well with a one-on-one trainer and once acclimated to a home new people I should resume where I had left off.

The shelter is a busy place. I would enjoy a quieter setting. I am strongly recommended for a physically fenced in yard. I may require it pending your previous experience, location and/or other plans for containment. I play well with other dogs, but I am a strong girl and may be too rough for some. I would do best with a male dog over a female dog in my new home. I should be able to adjust to a dog friendly cat, using a slow positive introduction.

I have not been around young children and may be more comfortable with children over the age of 10. I am a lovely girl and will make a great companion for the right person, couple or family.

If you are interested in being my adopter, please visit my shelter's website and complete the adoption application that is available there! HSSCM.org you can find the applications under the "adoptions" tab.
