Story

***The first step in the adoption process is to go to www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org to complete the adoption application*** This sweet little girl is Raya. Raya started life on the Rez. She had a litter of puppies and a run in with a porcupine that left her needing help. Here is what she has to say.... Hi my name is Raya (Ray-uh)! The humans tell me I’m ready to find my furever home! I would love to find a home with a dog friend. I like to rough house and zoom around with toys. I do have a strong prey drive so I can’t live with cats or other small animals. I also love to snuggle the humans and take naps. I get to sleep in bed some nights and I love that but I also sleep in my kennel some nights and don’t mind! I need to find a home that understands dogs with separation anxiety or at least a home willing to learn how to work with that. I would love to have a dog friend that can kennel beside me so I know I can relax. I prefer my plastic kennel over the wire ones. Once I got settled in to my foster home for a few days I relaxed in my kennel and like to chew on my bones when I don’t feel like sleeping. If I could find a home where the humans are around a lot that might also make me more comfortable! If you have a job working from home I won’t complain. I’m kennel trained and house trained, though we were told in a previous home that I did break out of a wire kennel. We were also told that I’d get out of the house and run away. My fosters don’t have trouble with me getting out of the fence or the house but it’s something to know about me. I promise to bring entertainment and love to my furever home. I’m around 3 years old and around 45 lbs so I’m a great size for many people. I have not been kid tested but I can be if my home may have kids! Raya loves deeply and would love to find a home that loves her back just the same. She is guaranteed to add some laughter and love to the right home! Raya is about two and a half and adoption fee is $250.00 She is up to date on vaccinations, spayed and micro-chipped November 4, 2024, 8:52 pm

German Shepherd Dog

Story

***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This pretty girl is Nova! She is the mom to the GSD/Mastiff pups. Nova came from a home of neglect for many years. She is very much a shepherd in personality and an experienced and patient owner would be what she needs to thrive! Nova is about 5 years old and for all of those years her life has lacked consistency, stability, a reliable food source. Even water was a resource that was limited. She has likely not always been treated kindly either and training was not a priority in her life. However, even given the challenges this girl has faced she is eager to love. She very much wants to do a good job and she is excited to see the people that have shown her gentle loving attention. Nova would probably do best as an only dog or with a confident gentle dog that could show her how things are done. Nova is cautious when meeting people for the first time but warms up quickly. The shelter environment does cause her some anxiety but we feel she would do wonderful on a schedule in a home where she understood what was expected of her in an environment that was focused on physical and mental exercises. She is gentle with toys and not destructive. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is 275.00 It is Nova's time to shine....she just needs the right home to help her on the rest of her journey to a happy ever after! November 4, 2024, 8:52 pm

Story

Meet Aurora ***The first step in the adoption process is to go to www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org to complete the adoption application*** Hi, my name is Aurora! The humans also call me Rory. I am a young dog looking for an active home. The humans say I can't be much over a year old. I love to wrestle with the other dogs for hours. I like people and will snuggle sometimes but really, I just want to play and run with my dog friends! I have a naughty habit of jumping on people, but the humans are working on it while I'm here. I will likely need continued help remembering people don't want to be jumped on. I was adopted once before, and the people said I would get out of the fence and had more energy than was ideal for their family. Unfortunately, my pent-up energy led me to chewing some things inappropriately and jumping more and more. I do well in the fence at my foster home but I'm never alone. I can be cat tested again if my potential home has cats. but the first time I was in foster I was only curious about the cats and never hurt them. I do take a little bit to get comfortable with new dog friends. but once I'm comfortable we will play forever! I don't particularly care for other dogs getting into my kennel messing with my toys or treats. I am comfortable sharing scattered food and sharing toys though! My ideal home would be a very active home with another dog or two to play with! I will need help with leash manners but I am smart as could be so it shouldn't take long to teach me! I would likely be fine with older kids in the home that won't get hurt if I jump on them. I am house trained, and kennel trained. I also know some basic commands! If you think your active home may be a fit for me, please submit an application so we can meet and see how we get along! Aurora is up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $250.00 November 4, 2024, 8:52 pm

Story

***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** Are you looking for a dog that likes everyone? Would love to run at the dog park? Go for car rides? Hike? Run? Walk? Play ball? Go for a swim? Cuddle on the couch and share your snacks??? Well have we got a deal for you! Not often do you come across a dog that seems to be up for just about anything! Zara was abandoned at impound when her owner just decided not to pick her up. We don't understand why because we think she is terrific! This high energy, full of love and eager to learn girl would be ideal for an active person looking for a let's go places and do stuff kind of friend. While she is still very young at likely around a year old she could benefit from some structure and general obedience but she seems ready to learn and a few treats in your pocket would go a long way with this pretty chocolate colored pupper. At about 50 pounds of zeal, Zara is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300.00October 21, 2025, 7:04 pm

Story

***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This teeny tiny guy is Walley! And could he get any cuter because we think not! Walley has some very simple wants in life and in his new home. He would love a calm quiet home where he can take long naps on big beds. He would like good high quality food because he doesn't eat much so every bite needs to count. He is ok with other kind, calm dogs but would be perfectly happy as a tiny prince of his own castle. He likes going outside but is fine with a piddle pad too if that works for you. Walley is one of our sweet seniors and he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and just had a dental. With an approved application, his adoption fee is $275.00 September 16, 2025, 12:55 pm

Story

***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the adoption application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** Roscoe is a 1-year-old, energetic, and affectionate dog looking for his forever home. Found abandoned in the countryside, he’s been lovingly fostered and is now ready to find his family. Roscoe is athletic, playful, and gets along great with other dogs, making him the perfect companion for an active household. He’s quick to learn and already impresses with his natural ability to heal on walks—even though no one’s taught him that! This brave, outgoing boy is also surprisingly respectful of boundaries, already being a pro at staying on his property off-leash. Roscoe is neutered, vaccinated, and looking for a family who can match his energy and give him the love and attention he deserves. The pups were likely born early summer 2024 and are altered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $300.00 June 30, 2025, 6:02 pm
