Meet Amelia! Amelia is a delightful 19-pound 'mini' Heeler mix who combines a big personality with her small stature. She's smart, affectionate, and the kind of dog that becomes a loyal shadow to her loved ones. Once Amelia attaches herself to you, she stays close, embodying the classic velcro nature of cattle dogs. Her playful and curious attitude, paired with a food motivation, makes her both charming and a bit mischievous. Amelia enjoys being either at your feet or curled up in your lap, and she even knows how to impress with her ability to stand on her hind legs. With a gentle demeanor, she has shown sweetness around young children. However, Amelia is not a straightforward companion. She can be cautious around new people and needs time to build her confidence. While she's learning how to walk nicely on a leash, she currently zigzags and occasionally jumps up, showing her enthusiasm. A secure crate is essential since she has a knack for escaping. Amelia thrives on companionship—she would do best with someone who works from home or has another friendly dog. While she hasn't been tested with cats, she's a bit protective of her person, so introduce her to new dogs slowly. If you’re willing to dedicate the time and patience to Amelia, she’ll reward you with unwavering devotion. She needs an active, experienced adopter who understands her breed and is motivated to uphold training. Once she finds her person, she gives nothing less than her all.
