Amora - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption

Amora is ready for her happily-ever-after!

This beautiful 6-year-old Australian Shepherd has spent the last chapter of her life being an amazing mama to

eight puppies

, and now it’s finally Amora’s turn to be spoiled. And believe us, she has earned it!

Amora is a

40-pound, tri-colored sweetheart

who is smart, attentive, and happiest when she’s close to her people. She knows her basic commands, has wonderful house manners, and is completely house-trained, so her new family gets to skip a lot of the puppy chaos and jump right into enjoying life together.

She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her some patience and a little time
(about 5 minutes) and Amora warms up beautifully. Once she decides you’re her person, prepare yourself for a professional-level snuggler. She especially loves belly rubs and has the cutest habit of making little happy noises while she gets them. Yes, she comes with her own commentary track!

Amora gets along well with other dogs and would love a home where she can have plenty of companionship. She has moderate-to-high exercise needs, so her ideal family will enjoy walks, adventures, playtime, and keeping this clever girl mentally engaged. After she’s had her activity, though, she’ll be more than happy to settle in beside you for some serious couch cuddling.

After raising eight puppies, Amora is officially

off the clock

. No more diapers, no more midnight feedings, no more puppy management. Her next job is simply to be loved, spoiled, snuggled, and reminded every day that she’s someone’s beloved dog.

If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, well-mannered companion who just wants a family of her own, Amora may be your girl. She gave her puppies everything she had. Now it’s time for someone to give

Amora everything she deserves.
