About Emerald

Meet Emerald, affectionately known as Emmy. She’s a 7-year-old Boston Terrier who joined her foster family in May. As a former mill momma, she's learning the comforts of a home, taking cues from the resident Bostons and a cat. Emmy needs a patient forever home that doesn't include young children. She can be shy around new situations, especially with men, but has made significant progress thanks to the support of her female primary caregiver. While she starts off timid, patience and encouragement have been her best allies. Emmy is well on her way with potty and crate training, and she walks nicely on a leash. She's not reactive to dogs or cats, but she's still working on her squirrel curiosity. A home with existing calm dogs or cats could be a good fit for her. Though respectful children over 12 are acceptable, she’s best suited for a quieter environment due to her tendency to startle easily. Emerald enjoys snuggling and follows her foster mom throughout daily activities. She needs regular breaks, so someone home during the day would be ideal. If you're looking for a loving companion who's ready to thrive in a supportive home, Emmy can't wait to meet you! Her adoption fee is $400, and she is spayed and vaccinated. Ready to fall in love?
