EMILY

Emily may have been a little unsure at first, but she quickly showed that she is a gentle dog who wants to trust. Treats helped win her over, and once she felt safe enough to relax, she allowed handling, pets, and scanning without any trouble at all. Since arriving at the shelter, she has continued greeting people with relaxed tail wags and calm body language, suggesting that beneath the initial nerves is a sweet and cooperative companion simply trying to navigate a stressful situation.

Emily seems like the kind of dog who will blossom with patience, reassurance, and a predictable routine. She already shows signs of wanting connection and appears to settle once she realizes she is safe. Dogs with gentle, softer personalities like Emily often become incredibly loyal companions because they bond deeply with the people who help them feel secure. She looks ready for a fresh start where she can trade uncertainty for comfort, consistency, and plenty of kindness.

All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter's care. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet .
