Ameca currently has diarrhea. She was a little bit fearful in shelter but has warmed up to staff. What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children. I am finding the shelter a bit overwhelming. Outside one-on-one I am a great big cuddle bug. I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them. I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.

In the care center, Ameca is nervous but will warm up to novel people. Lately, she has been observed to lunge at other kennels while walking past and grab and pull staff's slip lead, resulting in a bite that did not break skin. Ameca will need a home where she can decompress in a quiet area.

It is important to always go slow and give Amec the option to walk away from any social interaction. Amec should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Amec's choice to approach a new person or thing. Amec would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings. Please see the handout on decompression.
