Amari started life facing more than her share of hardship but has shown incredible resilience and warmth. Found with her sister abandoned and hungry in a house, Amari is about 2 years old now and weighs around 55 lbs. She has blossomed into a sweet, loving companion who finds comfort and joy with other dogs—she’ll do best with a confident, social canine buddy who can help guide her as she continues to learn how to enjoy life. Amari adapts slowly to new environments and will thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard and a family that’s patient and understanding as she finds her footing. She’s gentle and affectionate once she settles in. Amari would love a family willing to help her continue building her social skills so she can shine. She is house trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. Amari’s sun sign is Gemini, which may explain her adaptable and curious nature. She does well with dogs and children, but shouldn’t live with cats. Amari is in Independence, IA, waiting for someone ready to help her write her next, happiest chapter.
