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. She does well with other dogs and children. Emmy 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. 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.
Ideal Home
Homeowners with a fenced backyard who enjoy an active lifestyle and outdoor activities. Families with an open mind and understanding towards the needs of rescued animals, including their potential behaviors and the necessity for protection and education. Experience in dog behavior and training is preferred, along with high tolerance and patience for rescued puppies.
Ongoing Health
Emmy has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated (DHPPI, Rabies, Bordetella), dewormed, and tested negative for heartworm. She has a clean bill of health and a vaccine booklet.
Training & Support
Emmy is not yet house-trained. It's important to understand that rescued pets often require dedicated effort for rehabilitation, which includes not only physical health but also emotional well-being and training. The rescue organization invests significant time and resources into rehabbing their animals, and they are unable to house-train each individual pet due to the number of animals in foster care. Applicants should be prepared to provide ongoing training and patience.
