Story
OK folks! We have a VERY special doggie that is seeking a VERY special home. Emmie is one of the cutest and tiniest misses, but she is one spicy and complicated princess. She had a terrible beginning, and it may explain her sad side. She was found tied inside a trash can. She was discarded like garbage. Can you imagine what her life must have been like? She was barely alive, yet she found the strength to pull through. Months of care were needed to restore her back to health. Now that she has recovered, we have found that this innocent pup has needs that must be respected. She wants to be the queen of the castle so a home with no other pets or little kids is required! Emmie gets very protective of her possessions so precautions must be taken. It’s for everyone’s safety that she be a solo pet and not near kids. Emmie’s rough start in life may make her more prone to health challenges down the road. We haven`t seen anything that should impact her life expectancy. She`s a playful, quirky girl who just needs a little extra love, time and oodles of patience! Do you have the ideal set-up for this doggie? She needs experienced adopters who are willing to give her a chance- will that be you? Please meet her soon.
