Amara

My story

Approximate Age: 3.5 years old Approximate Weight: 35lbs Hi, I’m Amara and I’m ready to be your best friend! This playful, loving pup is ready to find her forever home. Here's what you need to know about her: -Excellent car rider – loves putting her head out the window to catch the breeze -Friendly with people – may bark a little at first, but warms up quickly -Lots of zoomies! She loves to run and get her energy out -Big fan of fetch and all things toys – especially stuffed animals she can carry around -Initially hesitant with new indoor sights and sounds (like ceiling fans or dishwashers), but gaining confidence every day -Once she’s had her zoomies, she’s all about couch cuddles and following you around -Takes treats gently and is very food motivated -Great house manners – respectful and easy to have around -Apartment living might not be ideal – she tends to bark at noises from upstairs or when people enter unexpectedly Amara is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate – she just needs a little patience and a lot of love! You can still come adopt me or even join our foster program to help the humans learn all the awesome things about new dogs like me! Learn more on our website! Hope to see you soon! *********************************************************************** Visit our website for an application to adopt. https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org/adoption-survey What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there's official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance. Educational article: 3/3/3 rule: https://www.rescuedogs101.com/bringing-new-dog-home-3-3-3-rule/?fbclid=IwAR2iv5m7fqk3FieO7LOsstGeGsYYV_F1rJOd1BPxaImofLpcinpYsUbFRWs Adoption Donations are $275 for an adult, $375 for puppies (a dog under one year of age), and $175 for a senior dog (based on the age of the dog). More "sought out breeds may have a higher adoption donation) Adoption donations are to be made via cash, or credit/debit card. There is a $5 fee to run cards. We do not accept checks for adoption fees. Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption. We typically have adoption events on Weds 5-7pm, Fri 6-8pm, Sat 11am - 3pm, and Sun 11am - 1pm. Our adoption center is located at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. It's important that you keep an eye on your emails for any changes or updates during the adoption process. Old Dominion Humane Society is a volunteer based organization. We are run completely by volunteers, who also have full time jobs, so we appreciate your patience. Currently, the average timeframe for a response to your application is 1 week.
