Story

Meet Amber Sky – a 3 year-old Labrador mix with a radiant smile and a heart full of hope. Amber Sky was rescued from a high-kill shelter just moments before she was scheduled to be euthanized. She had been heartbreakingly abandoned by her previous owner, left behind with nothing but a pink collar and a world of confusion. But despite it all, Amber’s gentle spirit never faded. She may come across as shy at first, but once she feels safe, her affectionate and loyal nature begins to shine. Amber Sky is a calm and sensitive soul who enjoys quiet companionship, cozy naps, and the reassuring presence of someone she can trust. Amber Sky is the kind of dog who will form a deep bond with her person — the type of love that’s steady, unwavering, and full of gratitude. She’s looking for a patient, loving family who can give her the time and security she needs to continue healing and growing. Spayed, vaccinated, and full of potential, Amber Sky is ready to start her next chapter with someone who sees how special she truly is. Could you be the one to show Amber Sky what forever really means? ***FOSTERED IN MAINE BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE. Read below for more information.

Story

Current Location: Strasburg, VA Estimated date of birth: 11/11/25 Hi, my name is Kramer! I'm a male, thought to be some kind of wire haired terrier mix and currently weigh about 4 lbs. I just arrived at my new foster home but I enjoy it here and I like to take all the toys and put them in the crate with me. I also like to wrestle with my brothers and sister and get attention from my foster family. I'm searching for... * someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hrs, at least not until I am older. The older I am the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quick and when I'm bored I could get in trouble. * I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. Professional training will help me bond with you. That sounds like fun! * I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever! I'm microchipped, have had dewormers, monthly preventatives and age-appropriate vaccines and will be available to go home with my new family as early as January 6th. Is that with you? If so apply today because this cuteness won’t be around for long!
