About Emory

Emory is a sweet 10-week-old female Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix, looking for a loving foster or forever home. Currently weighing about 10.8 lbs, she's in the prime of her socialization window, making her the perfect companion for families with children, other dogs, or even cats. Living at a shelter in South Carolina, Emory dreams of a home where she can explore the world alongside her human friends. She needs regular exercise and potty breaks, so potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must plan accordingly to meet her needs. With her puppy energy, Emory is eager to romp and play, and she’ll thrive in a home that commits to participating in dog school to help her become a well-rounded adult dog. Knowing that puppies under six months cannot be spayed or neutered yet, the adopter must ensure this is done by January 24, 2027, as part of the adoption contract. If you are ready for the adventure and commitment of bringing Emory into your life, apply today to make her dreams come true!
