EMMIE - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / HUSKY / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Husky / Mixed. Meet Emmie — a 7‑year‑old Husky/German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her smile. Emmie came to us after her owner had to move in with family, and the resident dog in the home wasn’t getting along with her. The family told us, “Emmie is perfect — she definitely wasn’t the problem,” and after just five minutes with her, you’ll understand exactly what they meant. Emmie has done wonderfully with every person she’s met. She’s gentle, patient, and truly enjoys being part of a family. She’s best suited for a home with kids 8 and up, where she can soak up attention without feeling overwhelmed. While she previously lived with other animals, we’ve learned that Emmie does best with dogs her own size and no cats. In the right match, she can relax, decompress, and feel fully secure. One thing Emmie is struggling with here at the shelter is eating. Like many animals who come from loving homes, the sudden change has been hard on her. Her previous family tried everything to make the situation work before making the heartbreaking decision to surrender her, and Emmie is feeling that loss too. We’ve tried countless foods and tricks to help her settle in, but nothing has fully stuck yet. What she does love is human food — she’s a girl with taste. If you’re someone who enjoys cooking, has a soft spot for sensitive souls, and has room in your heart for a dog who truly deserves to be back in a home, Emmie is waiting for you. She’s one of those dogs who is simply too good to be anywhere but with a family who loves her. This pet is Free for Adoption during the month of August as part of Clear the Shelters Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in.
