Story
Meet Emma!
Before she ever knew what it was like to be someone’s “baby,” Emma was already being someone’s mom.
This petite, little lady was found behind a dumpster on a busy Austin street, standing guard over her teeny tiny puppies. She protected them, fed them, and loved them while still barely more than a puppy herself. At just about a year and a half old, Emma stepped into motherhood with quiet strength and did an incredible job raising every one of her babies.
And now, it is finally her turn.
For the first time in her life, Emma gets to be the one who is cared for. The one who gets spoiled. The one who gets to learn what it feels like to be safe, cherished, and chosen.
Despite everything she has been through, Emma’s heart is wide open. She is gentle, deeply loving, and devoted to her people. She follows her foster mom from room to room like a little shadow, always wanting to be close and always wanting to belong.
She is crate trained, potty trained, wonderful with kids, respectful with cats, and great with most dogs. She plays beautifully with her foster siblings and would likely do well with a small, easygoing companion. She does not guard her food or toys. She is generous by nature. Her only “mischief” is her impressive talent for finding snacks on counters and tables when no one is looking. We like to call it creativity. 😂
Emma has that rare, perfect balance. She is joyful and playful, but also deeply affectionate. She loves racing around the yard, chasing squirrels, and soaking up sunshine. When playtime is over, she is happiest curled up beside you, tucked into bed, or resting her head on your lap.
She is still learning her manners and figuring out the world, and she is eager to please. Training her is not a chore. It is a chance to bond with a dog who truly wants to connect.
Emma is not a low energy couch ornament. She has some pep in her step and would thrive in a home that enjoys walks, playtime, and engagement. She will happily relax with you too, but she is best suited for a family ready to embrace her joyful, youthful spirit.
What Emma is really looking for is simple.
- A home where she can finally be someone’s “baby.”
- A family who sees her not for where she came from, but for who she is.
- People who will give her the love she has been giving others her whole life.
If you are searching for a loyal companion, a joyful presence, and a dog who will love you with her whole heart, Emma is ready to be yours.
And truly, any family lucky enough to choose her will never regret it. ❤️
