Emmy is a calm and intelligent Labrador mix who makes wonderful, steady companionship. She has a gentle personality and enjoys being by your side, whether at home or on the road. Emmy was rescued along with her four siblings after being born underneath a house in ruins during freezing weather. They were in serious danger, but thanks to rescue and care, Emmy survived and grew into the beautiful dog she is today. She is sociable, though she can be a little nervous, especially around people she does not know at first. With patience and gentle introductions, she relaxes and shows her sweet, trusting nature. Emmy enjoys car rides and travels calmly, taking in the journey at her own peaceful pace. She is very tranquil, thoughtful, and attentive, making her a lovely companion for a family or individual looking for a loyal friend.
Ideal Home
Emmy would thrive in a home with owners who have a fenced backyard and enjoy an active lifestyle with outdoor activities. Families with an understanding of rescue animals and their needs for protection and education are ideal. Experience in dog behavior and training is preferred, as is a high tolerance and patience for rescued pups. Emmy is not house-trained.
Ongoing Health
Emmy has been spayed and is up-to-date on DHPPI, Rabies, and Bordetella vaccines. She has been dewormed, tested negative for heartworm, and has a health certificate and vaccination booklet.
