PARIS — Amora is the featured pet at Responsible Pet Care. She was named after the Roman god of love, Amor. That name suits her because she is a love, according to shelter staff.

2-year-old Amora is a mixed breed dog. She is a happy dog that greets her handlers with a wagging tail and kisses. She is currently working on her basic commands and is catching on well.

Amora likes to be around children, does not mind cats, and likes the company of the other dogs in the shelter. Her canine handlers envision her with a family being happy to take part in their activities.
