Story
Nala...
This girl has the most soulful eyes ever. There is a reason for that...
Nala had been spotted by a kind family at a park that is known as an area where dogs are dumped. Nala was dumped with her 3 pups. Nala would not let anyone near her nor her pups. So, Nala would wander the park and surrounding areas with her pups. The family would leave her food every day. As the days went by, the family noticed that some of Nala's pups were no longer with her. Perhaps some one plucked one up. Or perhaps they died. No one knows. What we do know, is that once it was just Nala, she was more willing to trust the family. The mother would spend some time each day feeding her and sitting there and talking to her in order to gain Nala's trust. And eventually, she did.
At that point, Nala was a completely different dog. She was very much willing to be with a family. A.M.O.R. was asked to help Nala. And we did.
Nala is a sweet and quiet girl. She is super duper chill. She is not interested in high energy pups nor dogs. She is EXCELLENT in her kennel. She walks very well on leash. Has never made potty in her kennel. She sits quietly watching everything around her. She does not bark much either - inside nor outside. Nala enjoys the company of her people and the company of other confident, calm, and quiet dogs.
Once she goes outside, she is quick about going to do her potty business. Then she casually eats her lunch. She does not like for the other dogs to be close to her when she is eating. You really can't blame her since she didn't have food for herself and her babies - she hasn't yet forgotten those hungry days.
Nala is confident and enjoys hanging outside by herself as well. She enjoys the breeze, the sun, the swaying trees, etc. Not much bothers this girl. It makes us wonder what she could be thinking....
Nala is certainly ready to be in her own home. Are you the home and family that she wistfully is thinking of when she is looking far off into the trees?
All of Nala's vetting has been done by my personal dogs' vet. The following is a list of what has been done for her...
Spayed
2 - DA2PP shots (Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza)
Bordatella shot
Rabies shot
Dewormed
Tested, Treated (if needed), and retested for giardia and coccidia
Iverhart heartworm preventative
Simparica fleas and ticks preventative
Chipped
There are two categories of vaccines: “core” vaccines that are recommended for all pets, and “non-core vaccines” which may be recommended by your vet based on lifestyle and exposure risk. The core vaccine for dogs is the Rabies vaccine, which is required by law. The second core vaccine for dogs is often referred to as the DA2PP or DHPP vaccine. This stands for “Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza”, meaning that this vaccine protects against FOUR different diseases.
It is especially important for puppies to begin a series of DA2PP vaccines at six to eight weeks of age, as natural immunity obtained from the mother decreases and puppies become very susceptible to potentially life-threatening diseases such as Canine Parvovirus (Parvo). Parvo is transmitted through feces and can remain in the environment for at least one month, and up to a year if the conditions are right. This means that puppies do not need to be directly exposed to another dog that has Parvo in order to contract the disease, and caution is advised when choosing where and how to socialize and exercise your pup. We recommend avoiding exposure to unknown dogs or public places until your puppy has finished their vaccine series. BUT, all A.M.O.R. puppies (1 year old and less) have all FOUR shots. They are safe to join you and your family on your outdoor adventures and you can rest at ease.
Non-core vaccines for dogs include Bordetella, Influenza, Leptospirosis and Lyme. The Bordetella (aka: Kennel Cough) help to prevent highly-contagious respiratory diseases, and are essential for dogs that may be exposed to other dogs, especially in group settings such as dog parks, daycare, or boarding facilities. All A.M.O.R. dogs and puppies are given a Bordatella vaccine. Bordatella boosters are given every 6 months.

The above link is to provide you information regarding why deworming is so important for all dogs of all ages (and for their families).
All A.M.O.R.s are dewormed upon entering the rescue and then again 5 days before their health certificate visit (when they have been adopted and ready to travel). This dewormer is issued per our vet. And all pets are tested, treated (if needed), and retested for coccidia and giardia.
A.M.O.R. provides you with this information so that you can be aware of the work and love that is given to each pet. Each puppy has visited the vet AT LEAST 5 times during their stay with us. They have seen the vet 4 times for their shots and will see the vet 1-2 more times prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate for travel. Adult dogs have seen the vet AT LEAST 3 times. Two visits for their shots and 1-2 visits prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate.
Are you ready to have a wonderful lifetime companion in Nala???
All animals receive a health certificate (stating that a licensed veterinarian saw the pet and deemed it healthy for travel, but is not a promise of perfect health).
Please email for an A.M.O.R. application in order to be considered.
Please note: this pet is located out of state.
