Amelie

Sweetest Cuddle Bug
I've developed some pretty severe allergies, and we unfortunately need to limit the amount of pet dander in our home. Amelie is a wonderful girl who will follow you everywhere, and she loves to be loved on. She's excellent with children and loves the companionship of other pets in the home. She needs a lot of exercise and a lot of attention, but you won't find a better cuddle bug!
