ADOPTED

Emma... Says Emma’s foster dad…

“Emma is a very loving and gentle pooch that didn’t get a good first start in life. Her previous owners made her stay outside her whole life and when GRR found her; she was a very dirty dog. However, after a bath or two her beautiful coat shines.

Emma loves all the attention she is getting at her foster home. She is really taking advantage of the second chance that she has been given.

Even after being an outside dog, Emma has had no potty problems in the house while adapting to inside living. She still has a little trouble getting into the crate, but who can blame her. However, with a little coaxing, she does go inside.

Emma had a sister named Abby at her old house that she could play with. I believe she would do well with a dog friend to keep her company during the day while the owners are away.

She hasn’t quite learned to walk well on a leash, but she does love to practice and as smart as this dog is, I don’t think it will take her any time at all to get the hang of it. She has learned to fetch and release with a very little coaxing. She can sit and we are still working on getting her to lie down. Emma knows her manners and doesn’t jump up on people. You can always tell when she is excited, by the way her tail starts wagging making a “thump, thump, thump” sound.

Emma loves attention. She is always ready for a good pet on the head or scratch behind the ears. She does know when her owners are busy too, and will quietly lie down, giving you a great big smile with those puppy dog eyes, until you realize that whatever you are doing isn’t really that important.”
