Amora is an 11 month old Maltese x Yorkie mix who can’t wait to bring oodles of love to her lucky forever family! Amora was rescued from the shelter with a bunch of her pals when the shelter was running out of space. She needed a bath and a trim, so we whisked her to the salon and let one of our amazing volunteer groomers work their magic! When we saw Amora a few hours later we could hardly believe it was the same girl! Amora weighs 8 pounds and we expect she will end up around 10-12 pounds. Amora has a light shedding coat so she won’t be an option for those with allergies but she is ready to shower you in endless love!
Amora is absolutely bursting with personality and everyone who meets her will agree! Amora loves being cuddled and has a knack for finding any open lap in the room so she can get her snuggles. She loves to dance on her hind legs and bounces around to show off her moves. Amora takes on every day with a sunny outlook and a desire to make the most of her waking hours. She loves playing with her toys and picked up fetch instantly. She adores her backyard and will roll around and romp in the grass for hours if you let her. She loves following her humans around the house and keeping herself abreast with the daily household agenda. She runs a tight (but adorable) ship as she makes sure you’re bringing home the bacon! Amora is the perfect blend of snuggly and playful like any good puppy. She’s down for whatever you want to do, whether that’s a long hike, a camping trip under the stars, or a day on the couch watching romcoms! Amora would be a fabulous addition for just about any home, as long as you are ready to shower her in love and affection.
Amora wakes up around 6:30 AM when her foster humans get their day started. She goes outside for a potty break and then lounges around while the humans get their days started. She gets breakfast and then heads out on her morning stroll. During the day, Amora hangs out on her bed, plays with her toys, or keeps her foster mom company as she works at her desk. She takes a nap while her foster mom leaves for some errands and then plays in the afternoon before she gets another walk. She has dinner around 6 PM and then hangs out with the rest of her family for the remainder of the evening until she goes to bed around 9 PM.
Amora has previously lived with other dogs and gets along well with them. She lives in a household filled with humans of all ages and adores them all. Interested homes should be prepared to continue the training and socialization her foster home has started. Amora is super smart and has already picked up several tricks. What a smart girl! Amora walks well on the leash. She is house trained and crate trained. She is just so loving and she can’t wait to charm you instantly! Come fall in love with Amora today!
Amora is an option for homes who have prior dog owning experience. Kids should be over the age of 5.
