🐾 Meet Emily – A Gentle, Thoughtful Girl with a Playful Side 🐾 📅 Age: ~4–5 years 🐶 Breed: Bully / Corso Mix ⚖️ Weight: ~85–95 lbs 💉 Status: Fully Vetted, Spayed, Ready for Adoption
Emily is a beautiful brindle girl who has come a long way since arriving at the shelter nervous and unsure. With time, patience, and positive handling, she’s shown herself to be a calm, curious dog who warms up at her own pace and builds trust thoughtfully. She may not rush into affection, but once comfortable, she truly enjoys human attention and gentle companionship.
Emily does well in a structured environment and benefits from slow introductions and respectful interactions. On leash, she’s easy to manage—she’s not a strong puller and redirects well, though she does like to stop and take in her surroundings. In playgroups, Emily prefers calmer play styles; she enjoys chase and “hide and seek” games and does best with dogs who won’t overwhelm her or expect rough play.
She has handled medicated baths and routine care very well and is generally easy to work with. Emily has completed her spay surgery and recovered uneventfully. Her skin condition (alopecia) is being managed and is not painful or itchy, and she’s otherwise healthy and ready to move on to her next chapter.
🐶 Emily at a Glance:
Fully vetted and spayed
Calm, gentle, and observant personality
Walks nicely on leash; redirects easily
Warms up to strangers with a brief introduction
Tolerates handling and grooming very well
Dog-friendly with appropriate, low-pressure play styles
Enjoys chase-style play rather than wrestling
Thrives with patience, structure, and consistency
🏡 Emily’s Ideal Home:
A calm, stable home that respects her need for slow introductions
Dog-savvy adopters who understand gentle confidence-building
Compatible dog companions who won’t overwhelm her
A home committed to continuing her skin-care routine as needed
Emily is a soft-hearted, steady presence who blossoms when given time and understanding. She’s not flashy or over-the-top—but she’s deeply sweet, loyal, and deserving of a home that sees how special she truly is. 🤎🐾We are open to the public Tuesday - Sunday (1PM - 5PM)! No Appointments required!
