My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This little girl is just so very sweet and a bit shy and nervous. She WANTS to be cuddled. She is won over very quickly with treats and kisses.

We can’t blame her for being a bit timid and shy at times. She was born in household with TOO MANY doggos. Her human dad was very elderly and in very poor health to properly care for all of the dogs and puppies. And there just wasn’t enough time for one on one quality time with her human dad and Wendy. She does enjoy attention and cuddles but is not going to fight another pup for them.

Zoey has learned to sleep in a kennel. She is in bed by 10pm and sleeps the whole night through.
She understand that her kennel is a safe place to keep clean and dry. She is a STAR regarding her potty training. She happily exits her kennel and makes her way to the back door where she exits to find her spot in the yard do her business. But her family will need to be aware that this is an ongoing process for the first year of a puppy’s life. Potty accidents WILL HAPPEN!

Zoey and her litter mates were always kept outside; they were not taught any manners during the first 3 months of their lives. They have been learning the word NO. Wendy no longer nips as a way to get your attention. And if she does slip, she is quick to correct her behavior with the word NO.

Zoey plays very well with dogs and pups of all ages and sizes. She is the perfect size for an active family but is always ready for cuddles, too. When Zoey is DONE, she finds a spot and chills.

And they are still learning about noises outside and inside a house. The easy part to get use to is always having food and water and nice comfy bed place and the sounds of a coffee grinder, the beeping of the washer and dryer when the cycle is done. There are still so many sounds that they are unfamiliar with but with time, love, and patience and EXPOSING them, eventually, they will understand and not be so easily startled.

All of Zoey's vetting has been done by my personal dogs' vet. The following is a list of what has been done for Wendy.
Spayed
All 4 - DA2PP shots (Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza)
Bordatella shot
Rabies shot
Dewormed
Tested, Treated (if needed), and retested for giardia and coccidia
Iverhart heartworm preventative
Simparica fleas and ticks preventative
Chipped

There are two categories of vaccines: “core” vaccines that are recommended for all pets, and “non-core vaccines” which may be recommended by your vet based on lifestyle and exposure risk. The core vaccine for dogs is the Rabies vaccine, which is required by law. The second core vaccine for dogs is often referred to as the DA2PP or DHPP vaccine. This stands for “Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza”, meaning that this vaccine protects against FOUR different diseases.
It is especially important for puppies to begin a series of DA2PP vaccines at six to eight weeks of age, as natural immunity obtained from the mother decreases and puppies become very susceptible to potentially life-threatening diseases such as Canine Parvovirus (Parvo). Parvo is transmitted through feces and can remain in the environment for at least one month, and up to a year if the conditions are right. This means that puppies do not need to be directly exposed to another dog that has Parvo in order to contract the disease, and caution is advised when choosing where and how to socialize and exercise your pup. We recommend avoiding exposure to unknown dogs or public places until your puppy has finished their vaccine series. BUT, all A.M.O.R. puppies (1 year old and less) have all FOUR shots. They are safe to join you and your family on your outdoor adventures and you can rest at ease.
Non-core vaccines for dogs include Bordetella, Influenza, Leptospirosis and Lyme. The Bordetella (aka: Kennel Cough) help to prevent highly-contagious respiratory diseases, and are essential for dogs that may be exposed to other dogs, especially in group settings such as dog parks, daycare, or boarding facilities. All A.M.O.R. dogs and puppies are given a Bordatella vaccine. Bordatella boosters are given every 6 months.

The above link is to provide you information regarding why deworming is so important for all dogs of all ages (and for their families).
All A.M.O.R.s are dewormed upon entering the rescue and then again 5 days before their health certificate visit (when they have been adopted and ready to travel). This dewormer is issued per our vet. And all pets are tested, treated (if needed), and retested for coccidia and giardia.

A.M.O.R. provides you with this information so that you can be aware of the work and love that is given to each pet. Each puppy has visited the vet AT LEAST 5 times during their stay with us. They have seen the vet 4 times for their shots and will see the vet 1-2 more times prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate for travel. Adult dogs have seen the vet AT LEAST 3 times. Two visits for their shots and 1-2 visits prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate.

Are you ready to get home and cuddle with Zoey????

All animals receive a health certificate (stating that a licensed veterinarian saw the pet and deemed it healthy for travel, but is not a promise of perfect health).
Please email for an A.M.O.R. application in order to be considered.
Please note: this pet is located out of state.
