While we believe Emmett and his siblings are Schnauzer/Terrier mixes, this is only a best guess based on their mom, Lexi, and their appearance. He's a true teddy bear whose playful and silly personality is matched by his affectionate, sensitive side. Emmett adores snuggles and cozy cuddle time, making him an ideal companion for those who love lots of love in their home. Puppies like Emmett need adopters who are at home much of the day to provide essential training—there are no exceptions to this requirement. This puppy has age-appropriate vaccines, is microchipped, and will need to be spayed or neutered at 6 months of age per the adoption agreement. Until he reaches 16 weeks and his immune system matures, Emmett isn't suited for apartments, condos, or any home without a private fenced yard, and should avoid public spaces where he could be exposed to unvaccinated dogs. For adoption, the applicant must be at least 25 years old, and a refundable deposit is required for future spay/neuter. Please remember that by adopting a puppy, you are helping save other animals in need as well—in more ways than one! If you have existing or previous pets, up-to-date vaccines and vet care will be verified as part of the adoption approval process. Embrace the lovable energy and sweet cuddles Emmett is ready to share, and offer him the forever home he deserves. Fun fact: Emmett is an Aquarius, so you can expect a loving companion who brings innovation and joy to every day! Click apply to start the adoption process.
