Description
Amy is a lovely Border Collie mix girl, standing about 52 cm tall. Her estimated birth date is February 2024. She came to our shelter in May 2025 after being rescued from the Black Forest area.
She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed – now she’s ready to find a loving home where she can finally experience real care, comfort, and peace.
At first, Amy may seem a little shy, but once she opens up, her bright and gentle personality fills every space she’s in. Her eyes say it all – she wants to connect, to love, and to be loved.
Maybe YOU are the one Amy has been waiting for.
