Meet Amaretto: A Sweet and Gentle Heart Learning to Trust
Amaretto is a 2-year-old, 9 lb Chihuahua mix currently in a foster home with two adults, two small dogs, and a cat.
Amaretto is a small, sweet girl who is beginning to discover how safe and comforting life in a home can be. She is shy and very unsure of the world—but every day, she’s showing just how much potential she has.
Amaretto is very timid but with slow, gentle interaction, she warms up quickly and is starting to seek out her people for comfort and reassurance.
Outdoors, she loves slow walks where she can sniff and explore at her own pace, taking her time learning about the world around her. She isn’t bothered by outside noises. She’s gaining confidence every day and has started going potty outside consistently with a regular routine.
Amaretto is building trust quickly in her foster home. She now comes out of her crate happily to greet her foster parents, tail wagging, and spends hours curled up quietly on their laps. She enjoys being close once she feels safe.
She does well with other dogs and is beginning to show interest in playing. She would likely benefit from a calm, confident dog in the home to help show her the ropes. She is also fine with cats.
Amaretto has a quiet, gentle presence in the home. She finds comfort in her crate and will go in on her own to relax. She’s still sensitive to sudden movements, so a calm, predictable, adult only home will help her continue to build confidence.
Amaretto is looking for a patient, understanding home that will give her the time and space she needs. In return, you’ll get to watch an incredibly special transformation—and gain a loving, loyal companion. She is also incredibly soft and loves gentle kisses.
She is UTD on shots, microchipped, and spayed. Her adoption fee is $500.
