My story

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

Meet Ambrosia
This 2-year-old, 49.2-pound APBT mix has a heart as soft as her name suggests. When Ambrosia first arrived at the shelter, she was absolutely terrified—curled up in a corner, shaking and frozen in fear. But even then, she showed us just how special she is: never once reactive, always allowing staff to handle her gently with quiet trust.

Ambrosia is still learning the world is a safe place. Out in the yard, she’s hesitant but curious, sticking close to the people she trusts. If you sit down, she’ll waste no time curling right up in your lap, hoping for a little comfort and connection.

She’s incredibly sweet and shows us glimpses every day of the happy, loving dog she wants to be. Ambrosia is looking for a calm, patient home that will give her the time and space to come out of her shell at her own pace.

If you believe in second chances and the quiet magic of a shy dog learning to trust, Ambrosia is waiting for you.
