My story

🍮 Meet Pudding (aka Amarillo)! 🍮 Hello, I'm Pudding, though you might find me as Amarillo on the website. My journey has been a tough one, but I'm still wagging my tail, hoping to find a heart as sweet as my name to call home. A Glimpse into My Past: My life's path had sharp turns—from being on the euthanasia list while pregnant and heartworm positive at a high-kill shelter to being a loving mom. I thrived as a mother, earning the nickname "happy hippo" once my puppies were weaned. But life threw another curveball when I was attacked by an aggressive dog, shifting my sunny disposition to one filled with anxiety and fear towards other dogs. My Needs Now: Today, I am looking for a special, serene home—ideally with no other pets or children—where I can relax and feel secure. I long for an adult-only home that understands my history and my needs: 🏠 Adult-Only Home Preferred: I thrive in a calm and predictable environment. 🚷 Dog Selective & Not Good with Cats: My past experiences have made me wary of other animals. 🌳 Yard Required: A secure, fenced yard where I can enjoy the outdoors safely. 🛋️ Low Energy/Activity Level: I prefer quiet days and gentle evenings. 🏡 Housetrained: No worries here, I know the ropes! 🧸 Cautious Yet Affectionate: I may be a bit reserved at first, but I’m all about snuggles once I feel safe. 📏 Short and Stout, a Lap Pet at Heart: I might just be the world's best weighted blanket! Why I'm Worth It: Despite the bumps in my road, I’m the sweetest and smartest girl you’ll meet. I might waddle, but I’ll waddle right into your heart with each step. Ready to Meet Me? If you feel your home is the haven I need, please fill out a form to meet me, Pudding (listed as Amarillo on the site). Let's find out if we’re the perfect match to fill our days with gentle love and quiet companionship. #AdoptPudding #AdultOnlyHome #RescueDog #HeartwormSurvivor #AdoptDontShop

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Amarillo (mom), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
