Amber (Special Needs)
Amber is a very sweet 6-7 yr old white, pink and brown Greyhound Boxer mix who needs a very special owner. She has Addison's disease which is caused by a lower than normal production of hormones by the adrenal glands near the kidneys. Addison's can be managed with a daily dose of Prednisone and monthly blood work. As she gets older Amber will need shots. With appropriate treatment, dogs with Addison's can live long and happy lives. In fact Amber has been a friendly, loving , sweet and energetic family dog. She has won the hearts of the shelter staff. She knows sit, paw, down and up. The best environment for Amber would be low key, consistent and as stress free as possible- with no cats, no other dogs and with an owner who will not leave her alone all day.
Amber is housetrained and absolutely loves to go for car rides! She is a gentle and lovely girl, and although she has lived beautifully with an autistic boy, she is also an athletic, rambunctious girl, who can unknowingly knock over "little ones" when she becomes excited. For this reason she is better suited for a home with adults or older children only. Amber is a strong and natural athlete - she loves to run around outdoors and would make a great hiking companion!
Amber is in great need of a kind and special person who is wililng to deal with her health needs. As she becomes older she will need a shot every 4 to 6 weeks - other than that she is just like any other dog - strong and playful!! She is a real love with a heart of gold! Because of her special needs, the adoption fee will be waived for the right home.
