Amanda

Amanda is a former commercial breeder who has had a tough start in life and is still scared of most things. When she came to us, she was on the chunky side, but we’ve been helping her get back to a healthy weight.
Amanda needs a loving home that can help her transition to the "good life."

She’s been in foster care since May 18 and has made progress, especially enjoying the company of other dogs in the household. However, she still needs time to get comfortable in her new world. Amanda is not yet ready for sudden approaches or being held, especially by women, due to the trauma she has endured. She needs a special home to continue her journey from a commercial breeding dog to a cherished family member.

Amanda is healthy and up-to-date on all her vaccines, as confirmed by our vet. She will need leash training and a home with a fenced yard.

Given her unique needs, we are only considering experienced homes without young children. Amanda seems to favor men and is slowly beginning to approach her foster mom for treats.
If you are a first-time dog adopter, Amanda is not the right fit for you. But if you have experience and the patience to help a sweet girl like Amanda, she could be the perfect addition to your home.
Amanda is currently being fostered in Northern VA
