Emma originally came in as a stray back in October 2023, and quickly got adopted right after her stray hold was up. Emma got returned a few months later due to an incident with another dog, as she is dog reactive and it was just a little too much for the family to manage. Emma is friendly with new people, and accepts all the love your willing to offer. As of now, Emma knows some basic cues but is willing to learn more with some treats! This sweet girl is about 67 pounds of muscle and can pull on her leash sometimes, so we recommend continued leash work upon adoption. Emma is to go to a solo dog home only, and is ready and waiting for her forever!
