Carolina, now Amber

Carolina came to us as a sweet, spunky 1.5 year old Australian Shepherd with a contagious smile and big heart. As a lover of walks and being outside, she’s always on the lookout for a bird or rabbit to chase. Inside, she melts into you at the slightest hint of a belly rub, head massage, or butt scratch. Her family found her on the New Leash on Life website and knew that Carolina belonged with them. Carolina has since been renamed Amber.

“We came across Amber while looking for an active playful rescue dog.  When we saw her on NLOL, we knew we just had to have her. Amber is very affectionate, smart and loves to play at any given moment. Amber keeps our family on our toes from the time her tail starts wagging in the morning until we hear her soft snores at night.”

Since she was a puppy, Amber needed a family that would remain committed to training her in leash manners and general commands. Her new family is excited to continue doing so.

“Our kids love to play and train Amber and are excited when she learns and masters a new trick. They love to snuggle up with her on the couch while reading a book and winding down for the evening. Whether going for a walk, playing with toys or couch surfing, she has found her happy place.”
