Meet Fall River Forever Paws Pet of the Week Amelia!
Amelia is about a year old so she’s at that tender age between “puppy goober” and “dignified young lady”. They’re still skewing towards “puppy goober” at the moment. She’s about 47lbs and shouldn’t be getting much bigger aside from filling out as she matures.
Amelia is a sweet girl who was done the disservice of not being properly socialized with other dogs outside of her siblings when she was a puppy. This has translated into her having BIG feelings and LOTS of excitement when she sees other dogs without really knowing how to handle it. She is VERY playful and immediately wants to drop into play bows and happy slaps but she’s not great at social cues and personal space. Since she comes on so strong, she would need to be matched with the right dog. She does best with male dogs who can either tolerate her shenanigans or match her energy. She would be FAR too much ridiculousness for cats or small kids so Forever Paws would prefer a home without cats and with kids 10+.
Despite her wild child energy, she’s actually pretty good on a leash. She’s strong so she can be pretty pully but she’s generally good about listening to corrections and not trying to yank your arm out of the socket. She’s very, very social and gravitates towards people – especially if she thinks she can get belly rubs or snacks out of the interaction. She’s actually very polite about sharing her snacks – probably the only time she has proper manners.
All in all, Amelia is a very good girl that has a lot of excitable energy. Once she has a regular outlet for that silliness and has some basic training under her belt, she’s going to be an absolute princess. She just needs someone that knows what they’re doing to help her figure out what she’s doing besides being everywhere all at once.
If you’re an active family, or an active single person, and you want a cheerleader or a buddy to keep you from slacking…Amelia is your girl.
Since she’s a restricted breed, you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.
