Emma's Story Emma's beautiful eyes show the fear and abandonment she's lived with, but also show the love and hope in her heart. She's a gorgeous 4-5 year old fawn girl, who was picked up as a stray in Florence Al. Her owners never came forward but some wonderful volunteers at the shelter reached out to NWFGDR and now Emma is safe and ready for her happily ever after. Emma is so quiet, her foster mom has only heard her bark once. She's gentle and loving and just wants to lean on her human all day. Emma enjoys playing with her foster sister, but is happy just going on walks and running a few zoomies. She would be fine as an only dog or with canine siblings. We are not sure about cats or other animals, but she's good with kids of all ages. She has free run of the house and hasn't had an accident or destroyed anything. Emma is spayed, healthy and heartworm negative. She's tall and about 120 pounds. Emma's fawn with a lovely black mask and velvety soft black ears. Emma walks well on a leash and knows a few basic commands. She's smart and treat motivated, learning her name in just a few short hours. This sweet girl is frightened of brooms, mops, rakes and anything else that could be used as a weapon, so would probably do best in a quieter home. She loves to be petted but cringes a little if she's approached too quickly. Emma is hesitant at first, especially with men, but warms up quickly and is learningto trust. Emma spent some time on the streets, foraging for food and carries that instinct still. She's a master level counter surfer and is particularly fond of any type of bread or pastry. She's quite tall and can reach most counter tops, so a secure bread box is helpful. She also likes to visit the neighbors, who might have some bread. She jumped over a 4 foot gate to check out the neighborhood but she did come back immediately when we called her. Emma's a sweet, loving, gentle girl ready for her forever home.
