Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Amaryllis: A Special Needs Dog with a Heart Full of Potential!
Amaryllis is a beautiful, special needs dog who has faced significant challenges in her life. With a past colored by trauma, she has developed deep trust issues with humans. Despite these hurdles, Amaryllis has shown incredible resilience and has made notable progress in the last three months. She has started to come out of her shell, cautiously venturing onto her caregiver's bed and allowing gentle touch once she feels settled. However, she is still not comfortable being held and will run away if she feels threatened.
Amaryllis requires a secure, fenced backyard as she has a strong flight response and will run if given the chance. Her past injuries have also left her with a slight limp and one front paw longer than the other. Despite this, she gets along wonderfully with other dogs, including her current little furry companion. Her journey to recovery and trust is ongoing, and she needs a patient, loving adopter who understands the importance of time and gentle care in helping her heal.
This special girl is looking for a forever home filled with patience, understanding, and unconditional love. Amaryllis has already shown that with the right environment and a lot of love, she can begin to trust again. If you have a big heart and are willing to invest the time and effort into helping Amaryllis continue her journey towards a happier, more confident life, she could be the perfect addition to your family. Adopt Amaryllis and be part of her incredible transformation.
