Amaya is a sweet, attentive girl rescued from the Stanislaus County Shelter after she ran out of time there. She opens up quickly with friendly people, especially if treats are involved—a minute or two and she’s nuzzling in for hugs and kisses. Her gentle enthusiasm sometimes includes mouthing while playing, but she isn’t rough; she just needs someone patient who can help her improve with positive training. Amaya loves squeaky chew toys and would be thrilled to have a little toy stash to call her own. She’s in that stage where she’s still adjusting to life in a home, figuring out expectations, and soaking up new routines, but she’s already shown real progress in her training sessions. At the Milo Foundation, she’ll perch calmly on a bench to watch the world before jumping back into play or learning new commands. Amaya benefits from slow introductions to other dogs and extra time to get comfortable with new sights and sounds. She’s a smart, energetic dog who’s ready for more mental and physical challenges, and she’ll reward patience with genuine affection and a loyal spirit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
