To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application  HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see  HERE Age: About 7 years old (as of June 5, 2024) Weight: About 57 pounds (as of June 5, 2024) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.   Emma is a sweet girl who someone left tied to a fence of an animal shelter. Now, she is looking for a special home that can give her the love and security she needs to become her best self. We think she is about 7 years old and has all the good qualities of an adult dog.. Emma, who was previously at a shelter before being transported to RI, has had limited exposure to people and pets. However, she has shown tolerance and playfulness with dogs and remains calm when meeting new canine friends. While her interactions with cohabiting adults, children, cats, or small animals are unknown, she has been getting along well with the shelter staff. When she meets new adults, she is nervous at first, but then calms down and is respectful of corrections. She is affectionate, intelligent, outgoing, even-tempered, gentle, and eager to please. These characteristics lead us to believe that she will do well in a household that provides her with structure and stability. Emma's favorite activities include playing with squeaky and chew toys, going for walks, exploring new places, meeting new people, and most of all, cuddling and lap time. Her love for cuddling is a testament to her affectionate nature. Poor Emma is absolutely terrified of storms and may try to hide or escape when she hears them. Her caretakers are currently medicating her when they know a storm is coming, which takes the edge off. They also put her in a room where she cannot hear the storm very well and play calming music for her. It helps if you can stay with her, too. Emma is clean in her crate and working on her leash training. We strongly advise training for Emma (and all dogs) to help her bond with you, follow instructions, and build confidence. A trained dog is so much easier to live with! While we don’t know much about Emma’s history, we do know she will be a great family member for a person or persons who are willing to love her and help her when things get noisy and scary. Are you ready to be Emma’s BFF? She’s ready to be yours! MED ADD:  Give 0.5mg aprazolam 30 minutes before or ASAP for thunderstorms.  If she hears thunder, this medication helps, and she needs to be inside and have music playing to calm her or have people with her.  An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see  HERE  for more information about this.
