About Emmie

Meet Emmie, a 7-year-old Husky/German Shepherd mix whose heart matches her vibrant smile. Emmie joined us after her owner moved in with family, where resident dogs didn’t quite see eye to eye. But don’t worry, you’ll quickly see why her previous family adored her. She thrives around people and brings a gentle, patient presence to any home. Emmie needs a family with kids aged 8 and older, where she can soak up love without feeling overwhelmed. She enjoys the company of dogs her size but is not suited for small or overly dominant dogs. Since arriving at the shelter, Emmie has faced challenges with her appetite, likely stemming from the stress of losing her home. Despite various attempts to entice her with different foods, she shows a tendency to prefer human food. If you enjoy cooking and have a soft spot for a sensitive soul, Emmie could be the perfect fit for you. She deserves to be cherished again in a loving home. This sweet dog is free for adoption during August as part of Clear the Shelters. Emmie is waiting for someone to help her start a new chapter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
