Amber is a 5-year-old Maltese who weighs just 10 pounds and is searching for a loving forever home in Union Grove, WI. After spending her early years in a puppy mill, Amber is still discovering that people can be kind. She’s timid and cautious at first, but is building trust every day with slow, gentle care and patience from those around her. She loves being around other dogs and truly comes alive alongside her best friend, Betty. Watching Amber chase and play in the grass is a clear reminder of how far she has come. Because Amber finds comfort and confidence in canine company, she needs a home with another friendly resident dog. She does not thrive alone. Amber isn’t fully house trained yet and relies on puppy pads. She travels quietly in the car and politely accepts treats. She’s happiest curled up on a friendly lap, soaking up soft pets. Amber needs a calm and patient household that will let her move at her own pace. Years in a puppy mill have left her wary, and she’s considered a flight risk, so a securely fenced yard (not electric or invisible) is a must for her safety. Watching Amber discover a safe, happy life is a true reward for the right adopter. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
