Meet Emma ❤️

Sweet, Social, and Ready to Find Her Forever Family

❤️ Personality & Breed Information

Emma is a sweet 2½-year-old Terrier mix weighing about 25 pounds. She's a wonderful size—not too big and not too small—and is ready to become a loving companion to a family of her own.

One of Emma's great qualities is that she gets along with both dogs and cats, making her a good candidate for a home that already has furry family members. As with any new pet, slow and appropriate introductions will help everyone adjust comfortably.

At 2½ years old, Emma is past the tiny puppy stage but is still a young adult with plenty of life ahead of her. She can enjoy walks, adventures, playtime, and activities with her family while also learning to settle into the everyday rhythm of home life.

As a Terrier mix, Emma may share many of the traits commonly associated with Terriers, including intelligence, curiosity, loyalty, playfulness, and a strong connection with their people. Terrier mixes often enjoy exploring and benefit from regular exercise and activities that keep their minds engaged.

Emma's ideal family will provide her with:

Plenty of love and companionship

Daily walks and regular exercise

Playtime and interactive toys

Mental stimulation and enrichment

Positive-reinforcement training

Consistent household routines

Continued socialization

A safe indoor home where she's part of the family

A lifelong commitment

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

Like any rescue dog entering a new environment, Emma should be given time to understand her new home and build trust with her family.

Rescue dogs may come with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on household manners, leash skills, basic commands, and house training as needed.

Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule:

3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe

3 Weeks to understand her new household routine

3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home

Patience, consistency, clear boundaries, and positive reinforcement will help Emma understand what is expected of her and strengthen the bond she develops with her new family.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Emma is already spayed. Her vaccination and microchip status were not provided, so her adopter should have her veterinary records reviewed and establish care with a veterinarian after adoption.

Her future family should continue providing:

Routine veterinary wellness examinations

Vaccinations and boosters as recommended

Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention

Routine dental care

Quality nutrition and healthy weight management

Regular physical exercise

Mental stimulation and enrichment

Continued positive-reinforcement training

Veterinary care whenever illness or injury occurs

A safe and comfortable indoor home

Adoption is a lifelong commitment, and Emma deserves a family prepared to care for her through every stage of her life.
