A sweet and spirited almost eight-year-old Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix currently in Swannanoa, NC, whose sleek black coat and gentle eyes are just the beginning of her charm. At 40 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized companion for a family craving both a loyal shadow and a playful partner.
Amelie is the kind of pup who wears her heart on her paw. Deeply affectionate and endlessly loyal, she thrives on cuddles, companionship, and being near her people, literally. She's been lovingly nicknamed “the shadow” because wherever you go, she’ll be trotting right behind, ready to offer a nose nudge or a wagging tail! Her favorite place to be? Curled up close, preferably with a child to adore. She’s grown up with young kids and would happily make herself part of their bedtime stories, pillow forts, and backyard adventures!
While she may bark at strangers and get nervous around new faces, Amelie warms up quickly with a little reassurance. Before long, she’s leaning in for pets or climbing into a lap like she’s known you forever! She’s gentle, crate-trained, house-trained, and knows several commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “off.” Thunderstorms and fireworks? Not her favorite. But a cozy couch and a caring voice help her settle right down.
Amelie loves the outdoors, especially the smell of mountain air and a wide-open space to run. Her ideal home includes a fenced yard, daily walks, and maybe even a rope toy or two to chase around. She's not a fan of car rides unless it’s in the bed of a pickup truck, which she finds far more agreeable than being enclosed in a car. Because of her extreme car sickness, she’s best suited for a settled family who doesn’t travel often.
Amelie takes a daily Vitamin D supplement to manage a minor calcium imbalance, which is easily maintained and very affordable. She’d likely do best as the only pet in the home, where she can soak up all the love she craves, but she has peacefully lived with other dogs before.
