My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**I am currently residing in a foster home and can be seen with an approved adoption application**

My name is Emmy short for Emerson and I am ready to slowly meet your acquaintance. You might have looked at my breed and thought that someone got it WAY wrong, but I have actually gotten a DNA test done and I am 27% German Shepherd, 8% Australian Cattle Dog, 8%Siberian Husky, 7% Border Collie, 6% Miniature Pinscher and 19 other breeds! I am a sweet girl that can be a bit shy at first and I am just 2-years-old. I came into Animal Ark because I was not being friendly with the small dog in the home but I have done well with other dogs my size so some have called me dog selective. I also lived with a cat but we got along just fine! Once I know you, I love to give hugs, hold your hand and receive scratches(particularly around my neck). My favorite toys include anything that squeaks and footballs! Side note, I'm great at catch and potty trained! It might take me a few visits to warm up to you, but I promise I'm worth it!
