How To
Adopt:
|
|
The
first step is to get in touch with an AMBCR
volunteer near you. Contact by e-mail usually brings the fastest results. Be
aware that AMBCR volunteers are primarily concerned with matching appropriate
homes to individual dogs in our program. Therefore they will first request you
to fill out an application and may not be able to give out information on
individual dogs until the application process is complete. This evaluation stems
from our desire that your new family member meet your expectations as closely as
possible.
Although
we will make an effort to keep this site up to date, we do not make any
guarantees that any dog listed on this
site is still available for adoption.
Even if the dog you wanted is no longer available, it's a good idea to complete
an
adoption application because we get in
new dogs all the time.

"Personality
Profiles" |
|
The
following key words describe personality types and the kind of lifestyle a
listed dog is best suited for.
Active Companion
The
dog will need daily walks or runs and activities such as playing fetch or
frisbee. A lot of interaction with owner(s) and vigorous exercise will be
needed, although the dog may not necessarily need structured or
competitive-level training. This dog might enjoy doing agility or flyball for
the fun of it but not necessarily for competition.
|
|
Companion
The dog will be content simply being with their
owner(s) as a "best
buddy": Activity and
energy level may range from couch potato to playfulness (such as playing fetch
in the back yard). |
|
 |
Herding/Working
The dog has intense drive, herding instinct and potential, and may
need a farm or livestock working home. Plenty of hard exercise and
an intense, continuous activity and training program may be
necessary. Herding training for competition or fun may be required
for the dog to be content. Dogs of this type may also be appropriate
for competitive dog sports such as flyball or agility.
|
 |
 |
Performance
Dog will need obedience, flyball,
frisbee, or agility training, possibly to a competition
level to challenge their high energy level and drive. |
Puppies
are very adorable!
However,
raising one can be as intense and frustrating an experience as babysitting
a VERY active two-year-old. If you have reservations, please consider
adopting an adult dog that will need less intense training and attention.
All puppies will be placed with a spay/neuter contract |
