About Ambra (German Shepherd) in West Sacramento, CA 95798

Ambra is waiting for you at NorCal German Shepherd Rescue dba ShepHeroes in West Sacramento, CA 95798. Ambra, our beautiful shepherd with a soft coat and a loving heart, came to us after her first surgery to fix injuries from being hit by a car. She has now recovered enough from her second surgery to spend some supervised time with the other dogs at home, as long as everyone is calm. Ambra has healed enough to finally take off her splint, bandage, and e-cone, which she wore for seven weeks. She still needs crate rest for another week or two, but she is slowly getting more time outside her crate.Ambra loves her meals and is always happy to get treats, which help her settle into her crate. She would even put her head into her e-cone just for a treat. She takes her sedation medicine calmly and enjoys being petted and told she’s a good girl. Ambra has a gentle mouth and the softest coat.She is very well crate- and potty-trained, gets along with other dogs, and they like her too. At first, we thought she might be unsure around men, but she has warmed up to the men in her foster home and enjoys sniffing them and giving kisses. She also liked to gently remove her foster mom’s bandaid each night to check a cut on her hand.This sweet girl spent Memorial Day weekend in Tahoe and handled the long, winding car ride with no problems. She loved exploring all the new smells during her potty breaks.When Ambra’s veterinary team first saw her, she had fractures and open, infected wounds. They worked together to give her a second chance at life. Her family, who lived far out in the countryside, had spent five days trying to find help, with the nearest emergency vet three hours away.After being hit by a car and having two surgeries, Ambra has shown how resilient and loving she is. Her first surgery fixed her injured hip, cleaned and stitched her wounds, and stabilized her other leg with a splint and bandages to help it heal naturally.While antibiotics and stitches helped her wounds he
