The 6-year-old dog has passed her temperament tests, knows basic commands and is still waiting for the permanent home she’s been hoping for.
JACKSON, N.J. — Amber, a 6-year-old dog at the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility, is looking for a family after spending an extended time waiting for adoption.
Weighing 56 pounds, Amber is described by the shelter as friendly, affectionate and eager to spend time with people. Staff members say she already knows her basic commands and would benefit from continued training in a permanent home.
According to the shelter, Amber passed all temperament testing and does not display resource guarding behavior. She is also spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccinations.
Shelter officials said Amber previously lived with a cat but appeared fearful during a recent cat evaluation. They recommend she be the only dog in the home and say a household with children older than 10 would be the best fit.
Amber is available for adoption at the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility, located at 615 Freemont Ave. in Jackson. The shelter is open daily from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
