Amy's story is a sad one. She was once used as a 'guard dog' at a warehouse for two years, called various names, 'stupid dog,' 'ugly,' 'hairy beast.' When the warehouse shut down, the owner decided to throw Amy out on the streets and left her to suffer and die on her own. She was hit by a car and did her best to survive on food scraps she found at a nearby dumpster.
When The Fuzzy Pet Foundation rescued Amy, a Terrier-mix, she was very skinny and she was hobbling around on three legs. We took her to our vet and spent many months treating her leg injury. We gave her a ton of love and helped her see that not all humans are cold-hearted and abusive.
Amy now has a clean bill of health and she is ready for adoption. She has waited 742 days for a forever home. Will it be your home? Amy is active and she lives for her walks. She is a big, strong girl but she walks nicely on her leash and harness. Inside the home, she is a big cuddle-bug and would do anything to please her humans. She plays with toys, and will even play fetch. She loves to give kisses, knows how to 'sit,' and asks for belly rubs by flopping down on her side and wagging her tail.
Amy can be quite picky around other dogs, so we are looking to place her in a home without other dogs or cats. She has never lived with other cats but we know she tends to want to chase the ones she meets. She prefers to be with humans more than animals, and would love to be the center of attention
Amy, three years old, now weighs a healthy 65 pounds.
