Amelia was found at a small rural shelter where she was scheduled for euthanasia. VGSR was able to bring her into rescue, and she was placed in a foster home. Two days later, the foster noticed something was wrong with her abdomen. She was rushed to an emergency vet, where X-rays revealed that Amelia was pregnant.
In early October, Amelia gave birth to a healthy litter of puppies and has been a devoted, attentive mother. As her puppies prepare for adoption, Amelia is beginning the transition out of her mothering role. Amelia is a sensitive, thoughtful dog who needs time to feel safe with new people and in new environments. She can be fearful around loud voices, sudden movements, or rough handling, which strongly suggests a difficult past. She is not a dog who will immediately warm up to strangers, and that is simply who she is. With space, patience, and consistency, Amelia relaxes and reveals her true personality: affectionate, deeply loyal, and happiest when close to her person. Once trust is established, she becomes a devoted companion and will gladly turn into your shadow (and an enthusiastic 85-lb lap dog). Amelia knows sit, down, and paw, is currently working on heel, and walks exceptionally well on leash. She responds best to calm, respectful handling and does not do well with certain tools (no choke, prong, or e-collar for this dog). She needs an adopter who understands that confidence is built gradually, at the dog’s pace, not on a human-imposed training timeline. Approved adopters are welcome to reach out to her foster at operationhailey@gmail.com to learn more about her while she continues her recovery from spay. Please include her name in the subject line.
