Sweet lady AMEY is a 6-year-old beagle/pug mix, seeking her forever home. Amey arrived at the shelter when her owner could no longer care for her. She is a cuddler who knows “sit,” “stay,” “come” and “lay down.” Amey didn’t have much interest in the cat she met at the shelter. But she can be slightly picky about her doggie friends, so a meet-and-greet with any canine relatives is recommended before adoption. Come meet her today!
