Meet Emmie — a 7‑year‑old Husky/German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her smile. Emmie came to us after her owner had to move in with family, and the resident dog in the home wasn’t getting along with her. The family told us, “Emmie is perfect — she definitely wasn’t the problem,” and after just five minutes with her, you’ll understand exactly what they meant.Emmie has done wonderfully with every person she’s met. She previously lived with both large and small dogs, and she’s been respectful around cats, though she didn’t live with them full‑time. She’s also great with kids of all ages — gentle, patient, and happy to be part of the family.One thing Emmie is struggling with here at the shelter is eating. Like many of our animals who come from loving homes, the sudden change has been hard on her. Her previous family tried everything to make the situation work before making the heartbreaking decision to surrender her, and Emmie is feeling that loss too. We’ve tried countless foods and tricks to help her settle in, but nothing has fully stuck yet. What she does love is human food — she’s a girl with taste.If you’re someone who enjoys cooking, has a soft spot for sensitive souls, and has room in your heart for a dog who truly deserves to be back in a home, Emmie is waiting for you. She’s one of those dogs who is simply too good to be anywhere but with a family who loves her.Emmie's adoption fee is $175, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful.
