After a recovery from abuse, Amber was transferred from a small town in California to the Oregon Humane Society through the Second Chance Program which was the very opportunity Amber needed to start a new life.
Amber was relocated to Oregon to find a home away from the attention her case attracted in the small town of Yreka, California, where her abuser pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges and is now receiving mental health care. Amber was injured in April, and received care through Siskiyou County Animal Control and the Siskiyou Humane Society. She is described by her fans at the Siskiyou Humane Society as “a complete sweetheart who loves to give and receive affection, is very smart and focused with training, is a huge submissive grinner and loves to play with other dogs.”
Within a few short days of arriving at the Oregon Humane SOciety, Amber was adopted today by Michael of West Linn. He saw Amber’s story on the news last week and made sure to arrive at OHS as soon as she became available for adoption. Michael previously had a blue heeler mix for 17 years, and when that dog passed away last fall, he was not ready to adopt another—until he saw Amber. He looked into her hazel eyes and thought, “She’s the one.” Amber is heading to an active, loving, dog-experienced home to live the life she deserves.
Amber is just one story out of the hundreds seen each year. Your gift today will help the Oregon Humane Society continue providing Second Chances to those in need.
