About Amos

Amos is a sweet little guy, rescued from the streets of Corcoran and brought to safety. At just 6 pounds and approximately 5 years old, he deserves a more nurturing environment than he’s known. Having likely spent his life outdoors alone, Amos is shy but oh-so-gentle. He's making progress in his loving foster home, but he will flourish in the hands of someone with experience, especially with Chihuahuas or shy dogs. He adores the resident dog and gets anxious when she's away, suggesting he’d thrive with furry companions. Amos has a heart of pure gold and will blossom with patience and love. He's not just beautiful; he's a true gem waiting for someone special. Your patience and kindness can help him realize his potential. Click apply to start the adoption process.
