About Emmie

✨ Meet Emmie, a magical soul radiating love and joy! This lovely year-old double merle Australian Shepherd has a heart as vast as the sky and a spirit that sparkles like the stars! 🌟 Born deaf and visually impaired, she navigates her world with grace, bringing beauty to every moment—even if her perspective is a little different from the rest of us. Imagine Emmie's gentle nature—a true sweetheart who prefers cozy cat naps over wild adventures! She might start off a bit shy and nervous when making new friends, but with a sprinkle of patience and kindness, she opens up and reveals her affectionate personality! Can you believe her foster has said she's one of the sweetest pups they’ve ever met? 🥰 Emmie explores life through her incredible nose! 🐕💖 She sniffs out new friends and exciting spaces to familiarize herself, learning that gentle touches reassure her she’s safe and sound. Although Emmie cannot see the world right in front of her, she recognizes shadows and, once she knows her surroundings, she zips around with a newfound confidence! During the day, Emmie revels in the great outdoors, soaking up the scents and sensations of life! 🌳✨ But as nighttime falls, she prefers a calming, reassuring environment to help ease her worries. Emmie's manners—oh, where do we begin? 👏 She doesn’t beg for food or jump up on people. Instead, she finds her comfy spot and just wishes for cuddles! Her happiest moments come when she’s cuddled next to her human, enjoying the warmth of companionship. Oh, and did we tell you that she's house-trained? 🌼 This smart girl goes outside three times a day and knows the path to the yard like a true champion. Walks are a delight, too, as she carefully surveys her surroundings and surprises you with how gentle she is on the leash. Chew bones and bully sticks? Yes, please! 🎾 Emmie is a shining example of warmth, resilience, and tranquil love, ready to blossom in the right home. She’s not just a pet; she’s a loyal companion waiting to fill someone’s heart with joy! 🌈💖 If the spark of connection with Emmie ignites a flame in your heart, please, please apply to adopt through the Buddy App! Let's make magic happen together!
