Pet's Story or Bio
Amber is an old soul. You can see so, looking deep into her large brown eyes when she cocks her head gazing into yours. They have witnessed much. Yet they provide this nine-year-old rescue pup with more than a window on the tough world she has navigated, This roll-with-the-punches, self-reliant St. Bernard mix is deaf—she listens with those gorgeous orbs, as well.

Amber came from hard times and hard knocks of living in a van—hanging out nightly in bars in Santa Cruz with her first Mom, till spring when she was abandoned in crisis.

Fortunately a foster heard about this big lovable girl’s plight in the nick of time, scooped her big self up in a state of collapse and found her a new forever home and devoted mama in Pebble Beach.

The day following her adoption, her new mom learned Amber has lung cancer. Then, she suffered a stroke and collapsed after enjoying such bliss during their first adventurous walk together in downtown Carmel.

No worries. Amber has found the best possible place for her soft landing. She rules the roost making the most of her big backyard, hanging out in front of her home watching the world go by, taking short walks and car rides…and discovering that treats exist even for a pup who never knew such delights—as her mama delights, alike, in snuggling nightly with her bundle of furry newfound love.

Indeed, it is Amber who rescued her new mom—not vice versa—out of a crisis of grief having lost her sweet Tri-paw Husky, Stasy Yana, at just three tender years, in May, to a liver cancer tumor rupture.

One heart pup lost so young, so suddenly; another deserving elder pup enters to enjoy her twilight and renew faith that while there is never any assurance of time in life; the sustaining power of love heals and prevails.
