LET’S TALK ABOUT AMBER… AGAIN. Because this girl deserves to be SEEN.
We’ve posted Amber a few times before, and yet somehow… she continues to be overlooked.
At 418 days, Amber is now the 3rd longest resident here at Mondak Animal Rescue. And unfortunately, we think one of the biggest reasons she gets passed by is because when you first meet her, she is shy.
But here’s the thing…
The Amber you see sitting quietly in her kennel is NOT the whole Amber.
The Amber we know is funny. Goofy. Playful. And absolutely loves toys.
She may not exactly be a professional at playing fetch, but girlfriend gives it her BEST shot! She chases the toy… sometimes she catches it… and sometimes, if the stars align, she even brings it back. And honestly? Watching her figure it all out is pretty darn adorable.
And while we’re talking about her kennel habits, Amber keeps a clean kennel. In the entire time she has been here, she has very seldom had an accident in her kennel. Because she has been with us for so long, we can’t say for certain whether she is completely housebroken, but we are confident in saying Amber is kennel trained.
And she LOVES her bed.
Amber has also always done well with the dogs in our care. She can be a bit of a scaredy-cat. New things, new situations and unfamiliar experiences can be scary for her at first. But when you take the time to work through those moments with her and show her that everything is okay, she starts to figure it out.
And then…
you get to see AMBER.
The goofy girl.
The playful girl.
The toy-loving girl.
The girl who starts to trust you.
The girl who wants to know that she is finally safe.
Amber was abandoned as a very young dog and left to fend for herself.
Our shelter has been the only safe place she has ever known.
Think about that for a minute.
For 418 days, this has been her home.
But she deserves more than a kennel.
She deserves a couch.
A soft bed.
A family.
Someone who will be patient with her.
Someone who won't expect her to immediately be the confident dog they imagined.
Someone who will give her the time she needs to realize that she is finally home.
As far as kids go, Amber has only been around Little Boss, and she has never had an issue with her. Of course, as with any dog, we want the right match and would want everyone in the household to meet her.
Do you have room in your life for Amber?
Do you have the patience to show her that there really IS love out there for her?
Can you give her the chance to learn that the world isn't always scary?
Because we know there is so much more to this girl than the shy dog people see when they walk past her kennel.
Watch her videos.
Watch her chase that toy.
Watch her play.
Watch her warm up.
And then ask yourself…
Could I be Amber’s person?
Because after 418 days, this sweet girl is still waiting for someone to finally see her.
Amber deserves someone.
Amber deserves a family.
Amber deserves the best life possible.
Maybe that someone is you.
Come meet Amber
