About Emerson

Meet Emerson, one of two charming mixed breed pups searching for their forever homes. Emerson, along with her sister Emilie, is believed to be a Boston Terrier/Chihuahua mix, around 8 months old and weighing 15-16 pounds. These playful girls are full of puppy energy and sweetness. While Emilie tends to be a bit shy, Emerson has a more outgoing personality. They do not need to be adopted together; in fact, separate homes could be best for them, allowing each to thrive individually and receive the attention they deserve. These adorable pups found themselves in a challenging situation after being misidentified as boxers in a rural shelter. Fortunately, Sweet Dream House Rescue stepped in when their original plans fell through. Emerson and Emilie are now ready to start fresh. Both will thrive in homes with another friendly dog to play with. If you're interested in meeting Emerson, fill out an adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. You can also see these cuties at our weekly adoption event on Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at PetSmart Eastgate. Our adoptable dogs enjoy a one-week trial period in their new homes to ensure a great match before finalizing their adoptions. We prioritize placements with adopters who keep their pets spayed/neutered and up to date on veterinary care. Emerson is spayed, vaccinated, and house trained, waiting for her perfect match. Your future best friend is out there!
