Emmy

Welcome, Emmy.

Only two and a half years old and looking for her forever home … again.

Emmy was returned after being destructive with a backyard irrigation system and leash reactivity that has recently developed. She attacked a small dog at dog park, which may point to her high prey drive or perhaps selectivity with some dogs … since we were not there to observe the behavior, we’re not sure what happened. With proper introductions, however, she has lived successfully with both large and small dogs.

Emmy was originally found by a Good Samaritan in May, who took her in after efforts to find her owners were unsuccessful. After being nursed back to health from a case of kennel cough, Emmy was introduced into their household and had gotten along well with their 8-year-old male Boxer. However, Emmy's strong prey drive makes her unsuitable for living with their cat. Despite slow, supervised introductions and professional training, this issue has not improved, and it has become clear that she needs a new home without cats or other small animals. Emmy is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. She is good with people and other dogs with proper introductions, but is not suitable for a home with cats. Emmy is housebroken, walks well on a leash, and weighs about 50 pounds.
