LOOKING FOR LOVE: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 35 lbs.

Hi there, I’m Emmy! I came to Mostly Mutts when I found myself in need of a new home and family to love. I’m so grateful that Mostly Mutts was able to take me in and I am happy to be soaking up all the love from the volunteers. Now I'm ready to find a wonderful home of my own. Perhaps with you?

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met dogs at Mostly Mutts and although I was shy and a little nervous, I didn’t show any aggression. I have a calm, confident female dog friend at the shelter who I love to follow around. I also enjoyed playing with a nice male dog I met on a recent daytrip. My trainer thinks I would do well in a home with a friendly, confident dog to help me come out of my shell, so if you have a dog like this at home, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts. On a daytrip, I did well with the 15-year-old, but growled when the younger kids approached me. Older kids 15+ who understand that I am learning to trust would be best, so let’s meet.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: My trainer says I am so sweet and loving. I am a bit shy at first, but once I know I can trust you, I’ll shower you with love and affection. My whole body wags when my favorite people get down on the ground with me. I am already figuring out that toys can be fun and even show a few zoomies when I’m with my favorite people. I got to help in the shelter office a few times and I enjoyed playing with the toys there and even started seeking out more attention each time—do you need an office dog? The bath was pretty scary for me, but I knew my trainer was there to support me so I tried to be very brave. I am hopeful for what the future holds with a patient and loving family. Could it be you? / Energy level: 3-5, which may increase as I become more comfortable.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the ‘sit’ command, I am working on my confidence walking on a leash—it helps me to take a certain route that I am familiar with—and I look forward to learning more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / I am doing well in my little room at Mostly Mutts, but I have been hesitant to come out, as I am working on some threshold challenges, but treats and my new dog friend are helping me to make strides. / I’m having accidents on the shelter schedule, improving a bit on doing #1 outside. On a recent daytrip, I had a #2 accident in the house, but did #1 outside. Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can master my potty skills.
