Introducing Amber...

[Amber]

I think I see some of you from other forums, but...I just joined here recently, and I don't think I've introduced Amber, my Anatolian/Elkhound mix. (so we guess) We adopted her as a six month old puppy, Memorial day weekend, 2001. So...She has been here eight years exactly.
At six months old she had already had four or five homes. Home #1 gave her away as a Christmas gift (she was born early December..which would mean she was way too young). Home #2 (gift recipient) realized they couldn't care for a dog and brought her to the shelter. She was then repeatedly adopted and returned, the home before us bringing her back because she was too "Puppyish." (surprise surprise)
She's really protective when you are outside the house, but when you're welcomed in she will lie down for a tummy rub.
Her only flaw is being Dog Aggressive, which really sucks, because I would love to foster.
On to the pics...

This winter..first snow of the year.

Posing..

Couple weeks ago..it was sooo hot.

After getting a haircut.

Just giving me a big smile. (look at those gray hairs!)

Thinking...Thinking...

A dog at an adoption event that was IDENTICAL to her. (The dog on the right is still for adoption...eh?)

Thanks for looking!

Aww, what a beautiful girl! My dog was a similar story--poor thing had 3 homes in 3 years. It looks like your Amber has been spoiled and loved since you got her though! And for that, she's very lucky

Isn't she pretty. I think she is a very lucky dog to get you as her forever home. Sorry you cannot foster for now.

Amber is beautiful. I have an Anatolian and can see the breed in Amber.

Thanks, everyone. Talking about her past made me go and dig up her adoption file. Haha I found the card that was hanging on her kennel when we first met her. I've finally got a puppy pic. Oh my does she look different. I'll scan it in and put it up soon.
