Amber’s story hasn’t been simple. Abandoned first by her owners, then left behind by a rescue that failed to pick up the tab, she’s landed at CARL in Santa Paula, CA—finally safe, but still waiting for a real home. Amber is a large, short-haired tan and white Boxer mix, with white paws and a black muzzle. Now about 8 years old, she enjoys walks and interacts well with volunteers and strangers. Though she hasn’t had much social time with other dogs, Amber shows interest and even a bit of curiosity in play groups. She’s not yet house trained. If you have another dog, the rescue asks that you bring them for a meet and greet—Amber could use some help learning how to mix. She isn’t suited for a home with cats. This girl knows her basic commands, loves belly rubs, and even takes to a treadmill. Her Aries sun sign lends her a bold spirit and determined heart. Amber needs both a foster and an adopter ready to give real commitment. Your home could be the fresh start she’s been waiting for. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
