About Amelie

Amelie is an adorable Miniature Poodle, around 11 years old but full of lively spirit. Weighing in at just 9 pounds, she perfectly fits the role of a lap dog, often curling up like a croissant on your lap. This sweet girl loves her walks and gets visibly excited when her leash comes out, but she is also quite content lounging on the couch all day. She thrives on cuddles and attention, so she's looking for a home where she can be the center of affection. Living in a foster home with other dogs, Amelie coexists peacefully, but she would prefer to be the only pet in her forever home to soak up all the love. When meeting new people, she might be a bit shy but warms up quickly, often finding her place right in your lap within minutes. She is completely house trained and can hold it for about 8 hours. Amelie is good on a leash and enjoys car rides, making her an ideal companion for errands or adventures. It's important to note that she has some medical needs: she requires daily medication for pulmonary hypertension and has a chronic cough due to previous conditions. Thus, her ideal adopter should be comfortable with her ongoing medical care and vet visits. Amelie would thrive in a home with someone who is retired or works from home, ready to bond closely. If you're ready to open your home to this loving little pup, she's waiting for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
