History (how did you acquire dog?): Amara and her sister Arya escaped what appears to be a backyard breeding operation. Shortly after they were rescued, they both went into heat. Thankfully they are now spayed and will never be used and abused for their ability to make puppies. They don’t appear to have ever had puppies.
Other important info: Amara and Arya were found together and it looks like they lived together their whole lives. They were initially very dependent on each other, but when separated, they quickly bonded with people and other dogs in each respective home. Both are very eager to get attention and love from their people, and both would benefit from being in a home where their people do not work a whole day outside of the home. Both girls are able to entertain themselves with toys, but both also love to spend time sunning themselves outside or inside near their people. Both girls come when you call them, and both are very treat motivated. They both love to be loved on and appreciate being safe. We truly enjoy fostering them and we love seeing their eyes light up from feeling safe and protected every day.
