About AmalSweet Shy Mama

Amal, a 2-year-old Labrador Retriever, spent the first part of her life looking after her puppies in a remote area of Miami. She came to the rescue incredibly shy and scared, having to learn all over again that people can be kind. Over the last ten months, she’s made steady progress—her shyness has eased, and she’s learned how to walk well on leash, a big milestone considering her background. Still, Amal will need a calm, patient adopter willing to help her settle in at her own pace. A quiet home suits her best; busy or high-traffic environments can set back her progress. She feels most comfortable around smaller dogs and is a bit selective with dogs her size, so meetings are encouraged before making introductions at home. Amal is spayed, vaccinated, and ready for a new start. She’s not a turnkey pet, but her gentle spirit and resilience make her worth the patience she’ll need. Amal is in Fort Myers, FL. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
