House-trained: Unknown

Amaya is a tender-hearted wallflower with a quiet soul and so much love to give – once you’ve earned her trust. This sensitive girl is still learning that the world isn’t as scary as it seems, and she’s making slow but steady progress every day.

Amaya thrives in calm, predictable environments and blossoms with people who let her take things at her own pace. Once she begins to feel safe, you’ll notice her gentle curiosity: a soft nudge of your hand, a tail wag when she sees a familiar face, or a brave step forward during a treat game. Her favorite activities so far? Investigating puzzle toys, enjoying long-lasting chews, and engaging in peaceful “freework” where she gets to explore and build confidence without pressure.

While she’s still nervous on walks and shy with handling, Amaya has shown signs of growth – allowing consent-based leash interactions, walking to new spaces with support, and even choosing to approach for gentle affection. She’s not quite ready for the hustle and bustle of the big world yet, but she’s ready for someone kind, patient, and understanding to help her bloom.

Amaya would do best in a quieter home (ideally with a yard or easy outdoor access) and may benefit from living with a calm, confident dog friend after a proper meet. She’s not the dog who will leap into your arms on day one – but give her time and space, and she just might sneak her way into your heart forever.

If you are interested in adopting Amaya, please send an email to adoptions@awla.org. to arrange an initial virtual meet & greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
