About Amaya

Meet Amaya, a lively young girl with a bright personality! Named after the beautiful Spanish term for night rain, she's a confident and curious pup eager to explore her surroundings. At just 2 months old, she walks calmly but looks to her person for reassurance from time to time. Amaya is great with other dogs, especially larger ones, and she absolutely adores cats. While she's learning her manners and already knows how to respond to 'No,' Amaya is still working on potty training. She's in that playful stage where everything—from shoes to grass—seems like a tasty chew toy, but she's easily redirected to her own chew toys. At night, she settles into her crate after a short while and sleeps soundly, though she loves to nap wherever she can during the day. With a love for her meals and snacks, she's eager to find a forever home that supports her growth into her own superhero. Click apply to start the adoption process.
