This dog is being fostered in Dallas TX and must be adopted within the Dallas or North Central Texas area. NAME: Emmie GENDER: Female (Spayed) AGE: About 6 Months (as of April) WEIGHT: About 8 Pounds DOGS/CATS: Gets along with other small and medium dogs, Unknown with cats CHILDREN: Loves Everyone, Is Great with Children Meet Emmie, a fun loving puppy! She has an outgoing personality that fits in with everyone. She is looking for an active, forever home to grow up in. In Mid-November, we received a plea for help. There were 5 Chihuahua puppies who were dumped in a Dallas neighborhood. No Mom was with them. The Good Samaritans who found them kept them safe while they looked for owners. When no owners stepped forward, we agreed to bring them into our CRT foster program. Thank you to our sweet fosters who agreed to help foster puppies with the holidays coming! You have saved their lives. Emmie is one of these 5 puppies who was saved this day. Emmie gets along with the other small and medium sized dogs in her foster home. Emmie enjoys playing with her foster siblings and will join in during play time. She loves to be in on all the fun. She loves to run and tumble and do zoomies. Emmie loves going outside to play and explore. Her foster family has a large fenced in yard and she bolts around the yard with pure joy. You cannot help but smile when you see how much she loves to have fun. Emmie is more the nurturer of the two sisters and always makes sure Avery is back in the house before she goes in! Emmie also loves toys. Her favorites are the small plush squeaky toys. Emmie has a great personality. She loves people so much. She wants to be involved in everything all the time! Emmie enjoys meeting new people and wants to get love and attention. She is a huge cuddler so if you love snuggling, she wants to volunteer for the job. Emmie is at that perfect stage where the world is exciting and everyone is her friend! Emmie loves to follow you around the house to see what you are working on. Whatever it is, she wants to be a part of it. Note that she is very active and loves to be right by your feet, so could be a tripping hazard! Emmie adores her family and we think you will adore her! Emmie is super smart, is adventurous, has no fear and is very confident. She also has great manners. Emmie is a puppy and learning every day. She has learned how to go outside to potty. She also uses potty pads as a backup. At night she sleeps in a dog bed inside a closed off area. We have begun working with her on walks with a harness and a leash. Our vet believes that Emmie is about 6 months old (as of April). She weighs about 8 pounds. Emmie has a stunning dark chocolate coat with a few patches of white. We love her ears. We have done a DNA test on her (thanks to a generous supporter who donated a DNA test). The DNA results are back and are as follows: 69% Chihuahua, 7% Yorkshire Terrier, 6% Shih Tzu, 4% Pomeranian, 4% Pekingese, 3% Poodle (Toy and Miniature), 2% Dachshund, 2% Papillon and 1% Bichon Frise! And we will add that they are 100% adorable! The perfect home for Emmie would be one with high energy and a fun environment. Being a puppy, we are sure Emmie would enjoy another small young dog to grow up with. Applications will not be considered where she will be an only dog. Emmie needs a family who can check on her every 4-6 hours (would not be a good fit for a family that works 10-12 hour days). Note that Emmie does react (bark) to noises, so we do not think she would do well in an apartment. She can also be a door darter and she is fast, so we recommend a secure area around your front door. Emmie is growing up with a human sister that adores her. So we know she does well with older, mature children (8 and older). Emmie would be a great family dog. This puppy is loving and adorable. Some family is going to hit the jackpot with her. Emmie is being fostered in the Dallas-Fort Worth (Texas) area.
