Amica means “friend” in Italian, and this 7-pound Chihuahua mix is ready to live up to her name. Around 1–2 years old, Amica arrived at the shelter as a timid stray, unsure of the world. But with patience and kindness, she’s slowly blossomed into a quiet, loyal little shadow who just wants to belong.
