Description:

If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please complete an Adoption Request Form. This is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at www.rescuecrew.org. *To be read in an overly excited, loud informercial voice* Have you found yourself wishing for a companion when you complete the mundane tasks around home? Dishes, laundry, cooking dinner? Wondering what you’re going to do all winter to keep you occupied? Do your feet get cold at night when sleeping? Are you looking for the motivation to exercise more? We are here with the solution to all these unanswered questions! For the low, low price of an adoption fee, all these problems and questions can be solved for you with an Emma!! She’s adorable, she’s full of energy, she’s playful, she’s sweet, she’s goofy and she’s available to be a part of your home. Very limited quantity so act fast! Apply today!*End of infomercial- cue small print* Emma is the best girl looking to live her best life. Don’t love the name Emma? No problem! She’s deaf so you can change it to whatever you’d like! She won’t mind. Emma lived about half of her short life (yes, we are talking about over 6 months) in a shelter after being found as a stray. Due to this, she has lots to learn in terms of manners and training, but she is smart and eager! She just needs a strong leader and patience to help her be her best self. After spending so much of her life and time in a kennel at a shelter, being crated isn't her favorite. We (her foster family) have been giving really high value treats and toys when she goes in and she'll happily do so but quickly realizes she's been duped. When Emma comes to this realization, she barks lots and paws and chews on the crate door until she wears herself out. Due to this, a home with shared walls won't be a good idea for her. In an ideal world, she won't be left alone for long periods of time until she has learned that her crate isn't a bad place! Since being out of the shelter, she has been learning some hand signals in her foster home and needs continued consistency. Emma would love another dog in her forever home to play with! A dog her size or larger and that can match her very playful style would be best, otherwise she’ll just be annoying to them. Just ask some of the dogs in her foster home. Hehe! Because she is still working on her manners, a home with small children probably won’t be best. Emma LOVES toys that she gets to push around and that drop treats for her. They keep her occupied and happy! After a good walk or play session, she loves to sleep at your feet or on a dog bed near her people. She loves to be near people and will be completely invested in anything you are doing, even if you think it’s boring! Dishes? Awesome! Making dinner? Sweet! What are you making? My foster parents absolutely adore me and are so thrilled for me to find my forever home. I haven’t had the easiest start in my short life and I am so deserving of love, consistency and fun!Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown.
