Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Emmy!
This sweet girl can’t wait to be your whole world! Emmy is a 5 year old hound mix who has the howl to prove it! Emmy can do it all, she loves going for long walks AND cuddling all night. She knows her basic cues, is house trained and is getting better everyday with loose leash walking on her harness. Will do anything for a treat! She is looking for a quiet and compassionate home that will help build her confidence as she can be nervous when meeting new people and pets. She needs an understanding owner who can work with her to become more independent and has time to be home at least part of the day, this baby gets worried when left alone for too long. Emmy has lived with other low key pets, but wouldn’t mind being the center of attention and apple of you eye.
Emmy's adoption fee is $100 and is available in New Berlin, WI.
What is a "Courtesy Cupid"?
Courtesy Cupids are beloved pets that need to be re-homed because of varied circumstances. They are living with their current families, and are not part of the Canine Cupid foster system. Due to the third party nature of these courtesy postings, Canine Cupids makes no guarantee, and claims no knowledge as to the accuracy of the information provided regarding the pet and cannot be held liable for any misrepresentation or misunderstanding between the current owner and the applicant.
Applicants must fill out an online application in order to be placed in contact with the surrendering family. Canine Cupids will only be responsible for processing the application and screening any provided references as a courtesy to the family surrendering the pet. It will then be up to the current owner and applicant to then communicate, in as much detail as requested, the animals age, health, behavior, background, schedules, eating habits, sleeping habits, play styles or anything else that may assist in making a good match between the surrendered pet and the applicant. Because all our Courtesy Cupids are fostered in private homes, an approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with a meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.

Our Thoughts on Visual Breed Identification
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable. For most of our adoptable Cupids we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We think it’s most important is to get to know each dog as an individual! We then do our best to describe each of our adoptable Cupids based on their personalities in order to determine whether they’ll make good companions based on prospective adopters’ lifestyles. Dog behavior is not exclusive to breed — it’s a complex mix of nature and nurture.
