​Hi! I'm Amelia. I'm the little sister of the other two, Apollo and Arrow. It's tough to keep those guys in line, but I do a pretty good job! I'm a total sweetheart. I am 3 months old! We're actually Christmas Eve babies! I am more of the type of wanting to sit in your lap and give you kisses. However, I do love to play with my brothers and chase toys too. What can I say? I'm gonna make a great family dog for someone! I'm young, just like my brothers of course, so we're looking for families that have the patience, the love, and a whole lot of understanding. The three of us came from a place where it was scary. We didn't know what was going on. We miss our mommy and daddy, but that's where you come in. Will you come meet us and see what you think?

Every animal that comes into the CARA program is here because one or more events occurred  that led to this animal needing not only a home, but a person or family to love and protect them. Each animal has been loved and cared for by a small and determined group of people who want nothing more than to know each animal is safe for the rest of his or her life. Thank you for looking to adopt!
