About Amarris

Amarris is a gentle, sweet girl in search of a patient adopter. She's the ultimate cuddle bug once she knows you're her person, eager to stay by your side. However, the world can be a bit overwhelming for her; she's fearful of new people and may hide when feeling unsure. A calm, understanding home is essential for helping her build confidence. Having lived successfully with teenagers who respect her boundaries, Amarris also shares her space well with an older small dog. However, she does guard her food, so it's best to feed her separately from any other pets. She's still learning the ropes of house training and needs a consistent routine. If you have a peaceful home and a gentle heart, Amarris will return your kindness with loyalty and affection. Click apply to start the adoption process.
