About Emmett

Emmett is an eight-year-old Dachshund with a knack for making himself comfortable in your lap, next to your lap, or even at your feet. He tips the scale at 13 pounds, just the right size for a professional lap warmer—and he takes that job seriously. After some tough times and a rough bout with neglect, Emmett lost most of his teeth, so he’s all about soft food from here on out. He’s not picky and eats it like a champ. He also requires daily eye drops, which don’t faze him at all. Recently abandoned with his brother, Emmett has bounced back with surprising resilience. He’s eager to meet new people and show off his affectionate side. Emmett gets along well with other dogs and walks nicely on leash, so he’s up for outings or hanging out with canine friends. He isn’t yet house trained but loves routine and responds well to gentle encouragement. There’s something especially endearing about his short legs and large heart. Born April 23, Emmett is a Taurus, known for loyalty and warmth—traits he lives up to every day. He is currently waiting in Bedford Hills, NY. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
