Story
Amelia is a 6-year-old Pointer mix who loves being active and exploring nature. She is looking for a new home because future military obligations will be taking me away from home for extensive periods of time. She needs a stable home able to care for her. Amelia is:• Friendly with other dogs• House trained and leash trained• Spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated• A loving companion who enjoys snuggling on the couch• Intelligent with a very "human-like" personalityShe thrives as a free-roamer in the home and doesn't need to be kenneled, as she experiences anxiety when confined. While she gets along well with other dogs, she can be territorial over her toys and bones. She is a wonderful hiking companion who loves to run and smell everything outdoors, though she is surprisingly terrified of vacuums, plastic bags, and treadmills!

Story
Hi, I`m Dallas, and I have a very important question.Do you throw? Because I fetch. And unlike some dogs, I actually understand how this game works. You throw the ball. I chase the ball. I bring the ball back. You throw it again. It`s a beautiful system, really.I also know how to sit, wait nicely for treats, and respond when someone redirects me. I`ve even been known to get a little enthusiastic about snacks, but who hasn`t?There`s more to me than my impressive ball-retrieval résumé, though. I`m a genuinely sweet boy who loves affection just as much as playtime. I`ll happily take a break from chasing my beloved ball to enjoy some pets and scratches. I like spending time with my people, whether we`re playing together or simply enjoying each other`s company.Now, I do have a few opinions about how things should work.For starters, I`m not a fan of other dogs getting in my business. I can become reactive when I see them around the shelter or while we`re walking, so I`m going to need someone who understands that keeping a comfortable distance and helping me focus on something else is much better than forcing introductions.Which is why I need a strong owner cause I really like walks! I`m not particularly interested in dragging you down the sidewalk or training for a half marathon. I`d much rather take my time, investigate an interesting patch of grass, sniff something suspicious, and then sniff it again just to be sure.Some dogs want a marathon. I want a sniffari. There`s a whole world of smells out there, and I intend to read every single one of them.I think that`s what makes me such an interesting combination. I`m playful, affectionate, and eager to spend time with people, but I also need someone who respects that I have boundaries. I don`t need someone who expects me to be perfect. I need someone willing to understand me.I`m Dallas. You bring the love, the patience, and a tennis ball. I`ll bring the ball back, and we`ll figure out the rest together.
