Amore is a handsome Belgian Malinois mix believed to be around 1 year of age. Amore was a stray in the Louisville Metro area so we unfortunately do not know his history or true breed combination. Amore is happily looking forward to joining a new family though and doesn't dwell on the past. He was originally named Armor All at the shelter and he has gained many nicknames but does not know any name truly. 

Amore is an active, athletic, goofy guy who thinks the world is a party and he is the superstar. He enjoys being the center of attention and is an outgoing, social boy with all those he has met. He doesn't know much about manners and is sure everyone wants to play with him and be his best friend. Amore can be a very demanding guy when he wants to play and is a mouthy dog when he gets roughhousing. He is working on this behavior - which is pretty common for Malinois - and is easily redirected to appropriate toys. He has an eager to please personality and would excel in advanced obedience or any number of dog sports given the right guidance. Amore has been around children 8 years and up and is a typical rambunctious, untrained bundle of affection. He has little regard for his size in comparison to children but is friendly and social with the children he has met. 

Amore is fairly sure all other dogs want to play with him and doesn't really understand why some dogs don't like him. He has a rambunctious and outgoing personality with other dogs that tends to get him in trouble with the more laid back dogs that don't want to play. He is learning to respect other dogs boundaries and navigate play groups with more finesse. He would likely do well in a home with other young, playful dogs. Amore has not been around any dogs under 30 lbs or cats at this time. 

Amore is a run, rambunctious dog who is searching for a home that will include him on all of the adventures and give him the guidance to handle it all with some grace.
