Amelia is a beautiful girl, inside and out. Everyone who meets her instantly falls in love with those big ears, amazing personality, squishy nose, and adorable face. She is the closest thing to absolute perfection! She's a balanced mix of couch potato and zoomie afficionado, content to run in the yard, rolling in the grass and then settling into your lap for as many belly rubs as you're willing to give.

Amelia is one special girl, a cardiologist diagnosed her with Severe Subaortic Stenosis (SAS) meaning blood does not flow to her heart properly. Shelter life has not made this condition easy for Amelia and we know that she only deserves the best out of life.
If you have more questions about Amelia or her condition, please call the shelter directly or stop by!
