Ember is the kind of dog everyone notices, and not just because she could win awards for that adorable, speckled face. Built with permanent puppy proportions and weighing a perfect 26 pounds, she seems to have taken the best bits from both Chihuahua and pitbull. Her eyes are soft and brown—the sort that quietly ask for another snuggle. At around nine years old, Ember fits right in your lap or melts by your side for a TV marathon, but she still needs her daily walk or run. She’s happiest after stretching her legs, ready to nap at your feet while you relax. She’s good with dog-savvy cats and shows a polite tolerance for other dogs—she won’t be your social butterfly at the dog park, but she’ll share the house. Ember’s smart, responds well to training, and loves food puzzles and lickmats, often relaxing in her crate when things get busy. She does have some special needs due to possible nerve damage, requiring a bit of help with bathroom breaks. It’s nothing that affects her spirit or comfort—her foster can show you what works. If you’re looking for a best friend who wears her puppy charm well into her senior years, Ember’s waiting in Roy, UT for the right match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
