About Amana

Meet Amana! This charming senior is around 8 1/2 years old and is thought to be a Terrier/Chihuahua mix. After being surrendered, he’s looking for a cozy home where he can truly relax and enjoy life. Despite his age, Amana still enjoys leisurely walks and is the perfect blend of outdoor companion and cuddle buddy. He has lived with another dog before and can get along well with respectful pets if introduced carefully. Amana has experience with young children, but it stressed him out, so a home that is adult-only or has older kids (12 and up) would be best. He prefers a quieter environment and tends to be a bit timid, valuing his special few friends over a crowd. Amana keeps his kennel clean, indicating he is potty trained, but expect to support him as he adjusts to a new routine. With some patience, he should settle in just fine. Neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations, Amana's adoption fee is waived because he's ready for a loving forever home. This little guy is eager for the next chapter of his life, one filled with calm companionship. If that sounds like a fit for you, follow the application link to get started!
