About Amelia

Meet Amelia, a 1-year-old shepherd mix with a heart full of potential. She didn't get the best start in life and ended up feeling anxious and overwhelmed in a shelter. Now, Amelia seeks a very specific and nurturing environment—ideally a quiet home with a single woman who can be her safe person. She's understandably timid around men, so she does best in a calm setting. When guests arrive, she prefers to retreat to her crate where she feels secure. While Amelia may take her time warming up, once she trusts you, her loyalty knows no bounds. This sweet girl loves her daily walks, enjoys playing ball, and has no qualms about hogging the bed—it's hers, after all! She has a special affinity for chicken and is quick to appear whenever she hears a treat bag. Amelia is also well-mannered in the car, making outings enjoyable. For her success, she would thrive in a home without other pets or children. Patience and a gentle approach will help her build the confidence she needs. This isn't the perfect match for everyone, but for the right person, she will be a devoted companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
