Meet Emma

Meet sweet Emma! She's a soft and cuddly, super smart, very polite house guest! Currently in foster through a shelter in Raleigh, NC, she has been adjusting to her new surroundings for over two weeks. We've learned so much about her and to say she is a gem is an understatement! Emma is: - potty trained -heartworm negative -recent dental cleaning - house trustworthy - seems tolerant around cats - a snuggle queen - likes car rides - not very concerned during thunderstorms - calm and good natured - knows commands: sit, stay, come, on your bed - plays fetch and loves her tennis balls! She'd likely do best as your one-and-only pup, but could also live with a calm, respectful male dog who is happy to peacefully coexist.
