Meet Cover-Dog Amber
Amber came to live in Lions Bay a few years ago via the Vancouver animal shelter after she was found wandering the streets in the city.
She has the distinctive markings of a red heeler (the Australian cattle dog), combined with the short hair and physique of a Staffordshire terrier.
Despite her somewhat dubious heritage, she is extremely affectionate and is quick to roll on her back with hopes of getting a tummy rub.
Like most rescue dogs, her favourite thing in life is food, and her family suspects she might switch allegiances if a pork chop is involved. She loves riding shotgun in the car, hiking in the woods with her canine friends and basking in the sun on the deck.
After a tough beginning, she is now living her best life here in Lions Bay. Have a pork chop on us, Amber!
