About Emma Wigglebutts

Start your journey together! Apply now. Emma Wigglebutts is a goofy and friendly 2-year-old boxer mix who lives for couch cuddles and belly rubs. She prefers lounging by your side to running around the yard, and she'll softly offer her paw to remind you she's always up for more affection. Emma is wonderfully mellow indoors—quiet, patient, and never destructive. If she needs to go outside, she'll gently let you know by whining, and she's fully house trained with a perfect record for avoiding accidents. Crate time is peaceful for her, so whether you work from home or are gone for the day, she'll nap until you return. Emma walks beautifully on leash, keeping a relaxed pace without pulling. She knows how to sit for treats and enjoys a calm environment. With dogs, she's selective, preferring quiet, mellow-tempered companions—and with a slow introduction, she generally coexists peacefully after a few days. She would thrive as the only dog but could share a home with an easygoing senior pup. Although timid at first from her days on the street, Emma warms up after a few hours, soon curling up with her head on your shoulder for some affection. She truly aims to please, making her a sweet, low-maintenance companion. Emma is good with children, but her timid nature makes her best suited for relaxed homes with kids in eighth grade or older. She would be a perfect fit for singles, older adults, or quieter households, and adapts to various work routines—by your side at home or patiently waiting while you’re away. As a bonus, she doesn’t shed, making her a nice match for allergy-sensitive households. Emma has impeccable manners and a loving spirit. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
