Emmett is approximately 2 to 3 years old and 8 1/2 pounds. He is a gorgeous charcoal color boy. Emmett was rescued from a terrible hoarding situation and it has taken him a long time to come around. He has been with us since November 2025

He is great with other dogs. He loves to play. He barks at the cats but would not hurt the cats. He still does not come to us for attention or really want us to pick him up or per him. We can corner him and pick him up without him biting, and we can bathe him do his nails give him his monthly prevention, etc. he just recently stopped running out of the room every time we entered and he does sit and wait now for his breakfast and treats and we’ll take chicken out of my hand. He follows us around and seems to start enjoying seeing us, but still is very weary of human interaction he is kind of more cat like than dog like. We are hoping in the right home that Emmett will blossom and start to enjoy human attention and interaction, but he is not there yet. He does, however really love other dogs and must have a playmate in the home. No small children. And he must have an extremely well fenced in yard. It would help if the dogs in the home are very social and friendly as he definitely mimics what other dogs are doing and is quite the little shadow . He is a work in progress, certainly a project dog, but we believe there is someone for everyone out there and Emmett is fine here at the rescue for however long it takes to find his someone :)
