My story

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

Amber  



1 year, spayed female, 11 lbs



Terrier Mix



 



PERSONALITY TRAITS: Amber (known as "Emmy Lou" in her foster home) was very shy/timid at first, but has turned into a fun, playful little girl! She is continuing to learn to trust people and she still prefers not to be picked up and held. But when you relax on the couch or in bed, she will come up to you and put her head on your neck for a hug. Dogs like her take time to adjust, but once you earn their trust, it is so rewarding! Amber is young, and is learning basic tricks and commands at her foster home including “sit” and coming when called. 



 



LIKES: Playing with her two small foster dog siblings in the back yard. Amber has been learning and enjoying leash walks around the neighborhood/nature trails. She loves a good chew toys and dental chews (Whimzees) are becoming a favorite of hers. She also enjoys playing with small plush/crinkle/squeaky toys and balls. After learning the doggie door, she loves going outside to chase/play with the other resident dogs. At bedtime she likes sleeping on the bed with her foster family for a while, but when it’s time to sleep, she will get up and sleep in her own bed. 



 



DISLIKES: Being left alone, but tolerates it with the company of her foster dog siblings. Loud noises. She was very scared of TV when and she would run and hide. Now, she tolerates it, but does growl at it every once in a while. 



 



POTTY TRAINING STATUS: With access to the doggie door, there have been very few accidents in the house. Regular trips outside and continued positive reinforcement during potty breaks will help her.



 



CRATE TRAINING STATUS: She doesn't use a crate at her foster home currently.  



 



EXTRAS/MISC. Amber needs to have another small breed dog in her adoptive home. This will help her continue to gain confidence as he learns about the human world. It is unknown how she will be with small children and/or cats, but she doesn’t care much for sudden movements and unexpected noises, so small children are not recommended. It takes a while to gain her trust, so the right person for her will have to be patient and help build her confidence with love and understanding. Please describe your experience working with anxious dogs in your application.



 



To further inquire about AMBER, submit an online application via our website.



 



https://wigglytails.org



 



Tell us about yourself, family, other pets, and how AMBER will mesh with your lifestyle. Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our Adoption Coordinator with next steps and an opportunity to set up a Meet & Greet.



 



Our process is NOT a “first come, first served” process. (We DO NOT hold pets for later consideration.) Our team carefully reviews and interviews applicants for the best possible fit for each adoptable pet, and potential family. Submitting an application does not guarantee a call or response from our rescue. Our volunteers will screen the applications and reach out if it is determined to be a good fit.



 



We look forward to facilitating a positive and solid adoption for AMBER, as well as her future family.



 



*Fostered in Eugene/Springfield, Oregon



 



ADOPTION APP: https://wigglytails.org/adoption-application/



 



Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our Adoption Coordinator with information about the next steps and setting up a Meet and Greet. Our process is not a “first come, first served” process. Our team carefully reviews and interviews applicants to find the best fit for each adoptable dog and potential family. Filling out an application in no way guarantees you a dog or a response email as we get hundreds of applications and choose the best home for the dog.



Distemper/Parvo boosters,  and rabies shot, microchip, and spay/neuter surgery are included with the adoption fee.  You will also receive a PetSmart puppy packet with hundreds of dollars of savings, a FREE bag of food, 30 minute private training session with a certified dog trainer, and a free checkup at Banfield. 



Potential adopters must live within 30 miles of Eugene, Oregon. If you live outside the 30 mile radius, still send us an email, as we will can make exceptions if the circumstances are optimal for the dog or puppy.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process begins with an online application, submitted via our website. We do not guarantee a response, but will reach out if we think that it's a good fit and then arrange for a meet and greet. We do not hold dogs for more than 48 hours for a meet and greet, and if the dog is scheduled to go to an adoption event it will not be held back. We do not transport dogs out of area. We do same-day adoptions at our meet and greet appointments and adoption events. We offer a one-week trial period to our adopters to make sure that things work out, and we encourage adopters to be familiar with the 3-3-3 rule for dogs. We also highly encourage puppy classes for our puppies, as training is very important in ensuring that dogs stay in their forever homes.
