EMMA - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Breaking News: Local dog named Emma has been accused of excessive goofiness, illegal levels of cuteness, and demanding pup cup stops while fulfilling her duties as passenger princess. She denies all allegations. Emma is a mixed breed about a year and a half old who just so happens to be deaf, which basically means she has selective hearing… all the time. Singing completely out of tune? Didn’t hear it. You opened ANOTHER snack? Also didn’t hear it. Doorbell? Never heard of her. Vacuum? Still suspicious. What Emma does notice are treats, car rides, and other dogs who are ready to enter the wrestling ring. She would love a home with a dog her size who enjoys full-contact play sessions that sometimes look like a WWE pay-per-view event (don’t worry—it’s all in good fun). When she’s not practicing her wrestling moves, Emma is an elite passenger princess. Put her in the car and she’s ready for adventure, especially if a pup cup is involved. Emma’s other hidden talent? Being the cutest sleeper ever. Her snoozing face will make you stop, whisper “oh my gosh,” and take approximately 47 unnecessary photos. Just check her foster parent’s camera roll for proof. She’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. Emma is a social girl who thinks long periods of being alone are highly overrated. She’s crate trained, so if you do leave, a Kong filled with goodies keeps her happily tucked away enjoying some peaceful alone time. Emma is on anxiety medication to help her feel her best and does show some resource guarding around food and high-value items like bones or Kongs, but only around other dogs, not humans. That’s another reason she loves her crate—it’s her personal snack sanctuary! Because she’s such an enthusiastic gal, Emma would do best in a home without small children (she may accidentally knock them over in play) and probably no cats. A fenced yard would be a dream so she can spring around like the happy goofball she is, but it’s not required if she gets plenty of exercise and playtime. She would also do best in a home without shared walls—she can’t hear her own bark, and when she has an opinion, she expresses it loudly. Emma is still learning hand signals and communication, but she’s a smart girl who loves to learn. Deaf dogs are amazing at reading body language and routines, and Emma is ready to form a strong, loyal bond with her person or family. Life with Emma includes wrestling matches, pup cups, adorable naps, and the occasional loud bark—but mostly, it’s a home filled with love, laughter, and a little chaos (the good kind). Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption. The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota.
