Emmett is a 2-year-old German Shepherd and Yellow Labrador mix with big, optimistic eyes and a lot of bounce in his step. He’s settling into life after being rescued from a high-risk shelter and has wasted no time showing his playful side. With his apricot coat and medium build, Emmett should fill out even more—he’s expected to reach 60+ pounds as he matures. He’s still young and full of energy, so daily walks and backyard play will suit him just fine. He isn’t house trained yet, but he gets along well with other dogs and would make an enthusiastic companion for a home looking for a dynamic, friendly dog. His adoption includes his neuter, vaccines, and a microchip so he’s ready to start a new chapter in Metropolis, IL. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
