My story

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

Hello, my name is Amber! I am a gentle, shy little dog who is still learning to feel safe. I take time to warm up to new people and I prefer calm routines, quiet spaces, and slow introductions. Once I feel comfortable, my sweetness starts to shine and you’ll see how much joy I have tucked away.

I like other small dogs and feel my best when I have a playful buddy. I love to run, chase, and play in the yard, and I stay polite and calm when meeting dogs on leash or through a fence. I enjoy soft toys, cozy beds, and peaceful walks, as long as nothing is too loud or sudden.

Even though I may never be a cuddly lap dog, I do accept gentle pets on my own terms, and I show my happiness by running like a little gazelle with my tail curled over my back. My foster says I have the cutest underbite and the kindest heart. I even love to ride in the car, I`ll lay on your lap or cruise right next to you.

There are so many positives about me, too. I am fully potty trained and non-destructive, and I’m trusted with access to the whole house. I sleep quietly through the night in my own bed on the floor. I’m very quiet overall, with just a bit of light alert barking when my foster gets home, and even that doesn’t always happen. I walk easily on leash, make a great work-from-home buddy, and have shown no signs of separation anxiety or resource guarding. Even when I’m scared, I never try to defend myself—I`m truly as sweet as can be.

My perfect home is adults only with at least one playful small or medium dog who can help me feel confident. With patience time and kindness I know I will keep growing and become a loving companion for someone who understands a sensitive soul like me.

With love,
Amber
