Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ADOPTION PENDING. Maybe you have heard rumors about the sweetest pooch at Home Fur Good. Maybe you have been to the shelter and wondered about the sweet, petite girl with bat-like ears who appears almost fur-less. Well, wonder no longer. Amari has shown patience like no other, and finally she can search for her forever home. Amari will turn three years old on March 29th. She is a 39-pound Pit Bull mix who is pretty sure she is a lapdog. Amari was discovered at the county shelter back in April 2019. Upon arriving at HFG, it did not take Amari long to be adopted. She was a little too playful with the family dog, and that adoption only lasted three days. Amari came back to HFG and that is when her world was turned upside down. First, Amari went into medical isolation for ringworm, and then she was diagnosed with MRSA. Amari spent months healing, recovering, and working to get back to being able to socialize. Finally, Amari was cleared to join the general population at HFG, but her skin and fur condition was not changing. Amari started allergy shots in December 2019. Immunotherapy injections cause the body to stop generating symptoms after exposure to certain allergens. Amari will need to continue her injections, every 10 days, until December 2020. The need to continue her injections is not going to interfere with her hunt for a forever home. Finding a home full of love and care can only help her feel better. Along with the shots, her new family will need to keep her on a diet of hydrolyzed protein dog food and treats for the rest of her life. Amari will also need to continue taking Apoquel for the itchiness. Amari is an absolute joy of a dog, so happy, friendly, and playful that any family would be lucky to have her. And the family that commits to the care Amari requires will be the hero that she deserves. The adoption fee is $225 and includes spaying/neutering, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipping, and a free wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Our adoption hours are Thursday-Saturday from 11:00 am-4:00 pm.
