Meet Ameera!
Ameera is a 10-year-old Border Collie that currently weighs about 52 pounds fully grown! Ameera can be shy during her meets, so she will need multiple greetings to feel comfortable enough to trust. But once she has the opportunity to get to know you, and become a part of your family, she would love to cuddle with her favorite humans.
Ameera does well with dogs, cats, and even pigs, but will still need to have proper introductions to any resident animals living in the home to make sure that it is a great match. Ameera would do best in a home without resident or visiting children, as she can get overwhelmed by fast movements and loud noises. Because Ameera still has a hard time trusting people that are new to her, lots of frequent visitors can be really scary for her and would not be the best fit. Due to this reason, Ameera would require a 6ft tall, fully fenced in yard. This will not only to help her get the exercise she needs without having unneeded stress, but to also make her feel protected in her home.
Ameera is also a very smart and well-mannered dog, and she sure knows quite the skills! She has learned commands such as "sit", "down", and "off", she is crate trained for bed and is even housebroken! Ameera is a dog that loves to be on furniture and would love to take naps on couches, so a home that is okay with furniture surfing would definitely be the home for her! While there are things she can be confident in, there are still some things that Ameera considers to be too overwhelming for her, that most other dogs love. Those things are car rides, going on walks somewhere where she is not familiar, and especially meeting people inside of her space/home.
Even though Ameera may have lots of people who love her and take great care of her at the shelter, living in a shelter is stressful for dogs like Ameera and she would love to be in a permanent home that is willing to provide her with the patience and the consistency she needs to be successful.
If you would be interested in knowing more information about Ameera or potentially scheduling a time to meet with her, please fill out an adoption application on our website. Please know that some information may change overtime, as we get to know her better.
