Meet Amaya. Amaya is looking for a dog savvy experienced home with no other animals. Amaya is only about a year old and is looking for an active home who will be able to provide her with plenty of exercise and training. Amaya came to the shelter as a stray so unfortunately we do not have any background about where she came from. Amaya loves to go for walks, play with her toys and can sit for treats. She is very motivated by food and cannot wait to learn more. She is strong and will need a strong owner to walk her. She is reactive when she sees other dogs, so it will be important that her new family be responsible and keep her away from other animals. She can be nervous when she meets new people and may bark at first. Being so young, Amaya has great potential and working with a trainer to help her will be very beneficial. If you would like more information about this sweet girl or you would like to set up an appointment to meet her, please contact the shelter today!
