🌟 Looking to welcome a furry friend who’s all about snuggles and playful energy? Well, here’s the star of the show—meet the delightful Emmett! 🎉 Emmett is a charming gentleman at about 2-4 years of age, weighing in at a solid 50 pounds of pure love and fun. This striking Black Labrador Retriever/American Pitbull Terrier mix is the embodiment of joy, health, and companionship, as he's fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. Talk about a catch! 🐶❤️ Now, picture this: Emmett curling up next to you, ready to turn any moment into a cozy cuddle fest. He believes wholeheartedly that he’s a lapdog, so get ready for those prized snuggle sessions that can last throughout the day and night! But wait, there’s more! 🐾 When he’s not lounging, you’ll find him frolicking with joy, chomping at water from the hose on warm afternoons like it’s his favorite game. Rainy days? No problem! He’s just as thrilled to tackle his toys—both stuffed and tough—as if they were all old friends. And when he’s out for a stroll? Oh boy! 🥳 With his nose leading the way, Emmett will make sure you explore every lovely scent the world has to offer, pulling you along to each new adventure. What’s even more fabulous? Emmett is food motivated and eager to please, making training a breeze! He’s already mastered ‘sit’ and ‘touch’ and is quite comfy in his crate. Now, he’s just got to work on his dining etiquette and gentle treat-taking (we all know how hard it can be to wait for those tasty snacks!). With a little extra training on his leash manners, he’s destined to become your ultimate hiking buddy, ready to conquer the trails! 🥾🌲 One thing to note: Emmett prefers a home without cats, small dogs, or livestock because of his natural prey drive. He does enjoy the company of dogs his size or larger, but if you're ready to shower him with love and attention as your one and only, he’ll thrive in that environment! 💕 After being found as a stray, Emmett’s been with his current family for nearly a year. They love him, but due to circumstances beyond their control—like caring for a terminally ill family member—they can’t give him the time he truly deserves. Now, he’s on the lookout for a loving forever home where he can bond closely with his humans. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this affectionate, fun-loving companion, you can *apply through the Buddy App* today! Don’t wait—Emmett is waiting to meet you!
