Thank you, Linda Stanley, for giving Amelia her name

9/03/25
Amelia arrived as a stray to an overcrowded shelter in West Virginia.  This beautiful boxer mix girl is estimated to be around 2 years of age.  She was very timid at the shelter, but also very sweet with everyone she met.  The shelter reported that she did well with other dogs.  Because an AABR volunteer offered to foster this girl, we were able to pull her from the shelter and open up a kennel there for another dog.  Amelia arrived at her foster home in Virgina at the end of August.  She is being fostered with a male boxer and she really enjoys being around him.  We feel a male dog in her new home will help to build her confidence.  Amelia is housebroken and is getting more comfortable in the house with each day, although she is still frightened by sudden, loud noises and sudden movements.  Amelia has made so much progress just in two weeks and is turning into quite the cuddler!
