About Amber

Amber is a 4-year-old mixed-breed Pointer who ended up at the shelter as a stray. She’s won over the staff with her open, friendly nature and seems eager to greet everyone who comes by. Out in the yard, she’ll chase toys, but still seems to be figuring out what to do once she catches them—her curiosity and willingness to try are part of her charm. She follows her handler’s lead, paying close attention during walks and regularly checking in as if to ask, “Am I doing this right?” Amber is social with other dogs in passing, happy to say hello, but may do best as the only dog in the home. She’s house trained and has solid leash skills, making outings pretty smooth. Amber generally gets along with children, but she isn’t a match for homes with cats. She’ll thrive in a patient household ready to let her settle in and build confidence on her own timetable. In exchange, you’ll have an active, fun, and loving new companion. Ready to fall in love?
