About Amber

A practically perfect pup. Well almost. Honestly! Amber is smart, sweet, playful, funny, and affectionate girl. Amber loves people and she can be quite the little snuggler. She is a great dog. The almost part? Regrettably, it turns out that Amber needs to be an only dog. As such, we have made the very difficult decision to rehome her. We adopted Amber nine months ago after three very successful meet and greets with our other dog. Initially Amber and our other dog (an older staffy and also a rescue) did great together. They played, they snuggled and had no conflicts. But several months later, Amber started getting increasingly aggressive. She was only showing aggression towards our other dog, never towards people. We ruled out medical causes, and did all we could to resolve this aggression, including working with two very reputable dog trainers, but we were not successful. To be clear, this is strictly an issue of two dogs in the house. If Amber was our only dog, we absolutely would keep her. We adore her. It tears at our heart to give her up, but we realize this is for her own well-being. So, a little bit more about Amber. We think Amber is around two years old, and she is just under 40 pounds. She is spayed, chipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations. Amber has primarily been an indoor dog, and she does great in the home. But she does love to sunbathe on the back deck. She is crate trained, potty trained, knows all her basic commands, and is responsive to training. As mentioned, she loves people, but we have not seen her with younger children, only adults. Amber is good on walks except for some reactivity to other dogs. Normally if the other dog is calm, we can walk past with minimal or no reaction, but if the other dog lunges or barks, then Amber will lunge and bark in response. We do not let her get too close to other dogs for that reason. This reactivity has greatly improved during her time with us. We can walk Amber alongside our own other dog without any problems. And they sleep in their crates next to each other in our bedroom. We just cannot let them loose together in the house or yard. We are continuing to care for Amber and maintain her training until we can find a loving new home for her. Amber will come to her new home with a crate, dog bed, food vault, a couple halters, leads, a cold weather fleece, and more. I have always had dogs. Amber is my 7th dog and my 4th rescue. Every one of them lived long, happy lives in my home. We adopted dog #6, my first staffy, four years ago and he is the best boy ever. So, I feel like I know dogs well, and Amber really is a great dog. She will make the right home a wonderful companion and family member; she just needs to be the only dog in the home. Please only serious inquiries. We want to ensure that Amber goes to a good home that will give her the care, attention and companionship she deserves. I will work with you to ensure that Amber has a smooth transition into your home. Please reach out if you are interested in hearing more about Amber and would like to meet her. We are in Davis CA. I am willing to drive a reasonable distance for a good home.
