About Amy Rose

Meet Amy Rose! This sweet, laid-back girl is ready to steal your heart. Weighing in at 60 lbs, she hasn’t quite realized she isn't a small lap dog. She loves people deeply and just wants to curl up next to her favorite humans. Her owner describes her as goofy, gassy, and very loving. The way she gives affection has a special way of healing your heart. Amy listens well when you talk to her and enjoys treats, wet food, bottled water, and tough chew toys. Watch out for her hilarious "parkour" zoomies between the couch and the front door; she’d thrive with a little room to play! As an enthusiastic walker, Amy gets excited to see small dogs but feels a bit nervous around bicycles. A solid 20-to-30-minute walk tires her out for a cozy nap. While she does feel a little sad when left alone, a good walk beforehand helps calm her. She is up to date on vaccines and is currently perfecting her potty-training routine. With consistent walks, she’ll master this in no time! Sadly, after two years in a home, her owners' breakup means she is being surrendered at the end of the year. It breaks our hearts to see this gentle soul return to the shelter. Amy Rose is around 5 years young, spayed, and ready for a loving home. Apply today to give this sweet girl a permanent place before the year ends!
