Meet Amelia! This Arkansas girl made the trip to Minnesota in search of the family she's been waiting for. While her exact breed mix is a mystery, Amelia seems to be equal parts affectionate golden retriever and alert shepherd.

Amelia's favorite place is right beside her person, and she happily follows her foster family around the yard as their loyal little shadow. She can be shy around new people and likes to let out a bark or two to warn everyone when suspicious activity - like the mailman - is nearby. Once she feels safe, Amelia's sweet and loving personality shines through.

As Amelia adjusts to life in a home, she continues to grow more confident every day. Household noises like the blender and vacuum are becoming less scary, though unfamiliar sounds or sudden movements can still startle her. Her kennel is her safe haven, and she happily retreats there when she needs a nap or a little quiet time. Amelia is kenneled overnight and while her foster parents are away. She loves if there's a peanut butter-filled Kong or a bone waiting for her.

This smart girl is very food motivated and eager to learn. She picks up on training quickly and has had no potty accidents in foster care. Amelia will do best with a consistent routine as she settles into a new home.

Amelia is also making wonderful progress on leash walks. She doesn't pull, but loud vehicles can still make her nervous. With every walk, her confidence continues to grow.

Amelia is the sweetest pup looking for a patient, understanding family that will give her the time she needs to feel secure - and, of course, save her a spot on the couch. Could Amelia be the missing piece your family has been looking for?
