About Amos

Meet Amos. This shy, seven-month-old chocolate Lab mix came from a local shelter and arrived anxious, his world unfamiliar and overwhelming. Over time, he’s started to open up and show a bit more of his true self. Whatever his past, Amos clearly wants to trust and learn. He’s friendly with other dogs and does well in his crate. At this stage, Amos needs a home willing to continue with his training and give him time to grow his confidence. Like any young dog, he’ll benefit from more socialization and structure. Amos has the potential to grow into that cheerful, loving Lab personality, and whoever adopts him will get to witness his transformation. He does best with other dogs and is learning the ropes of being a companion animal. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
