If dogs could model, Amber would already have an agent.

Just look at that smile. The soulful eyes. The goofy tongue-out grin. This girl has personality for days and somehow manages to be both absolutely stunning and an absolute goofball at the same time.

Amber is the kind of dog who makes every day better just by existing. Shes playful, happy, ridiculously affectionate, and has that contagious energy that makes you laugh without even trying:
* Toss a ball? --- Shes in, for SURE!.
* Adventure? --- Absolutely!!!
* Showing off Zoomies? --- Certainly.
* Couch time and soaking up attention from her favorite humans? --- Her favorite thing in the world!

But what really makes Amber special isn't just how beautiful she i... its how deeply she loves her people. She adores affection, thrives on connection, and wants nothing more than to be part of someones world.
With her sweet and loving nature, Amber adores kisses, hugs, and being told shes a pretty girl, soaking up every bit of affection with those soulful eyes.

She is impressively crate trained and will happily walk herself into her kennel, patiently waiting for a treat like the good girl she is. Shes also potty trained, making her an easy and wonderful companion to have in the home.

Amber was pulled from the euthanasia list, and while we gave her a second chance, what she really deserves now is the forever family shes been waiting for.

Right now someone out there is scrolling past the dog they've been looking for... and it might be her.

Amber is ready. The question is... are you ready for the best smile you'll ever come home to?

Amberina is:
- fully Vaccinated, microchipped, & spayed
- Kennel & potty trained
- Dog friendly
- located in Houston, TX (transport available out of state!). ***PLEASE NOTE: pickup locations of transported dogs may vary, including to nearby towns or states.***

*We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.

*Our adoption fees are based on the vetting we put into each dog. Fees for puppies (under 12 months) are higher because they require more vetting than dogs over 1 year.

*Listed breed and age are based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption.

*Our adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption.

*All of our adopters are invited to join our Alum Pupdates Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters!
