Ember **Not Available to Be Seen Until Open House on Wednesday 2/11** Good with Kids & Dogs! Meet Ember! 5 yrs./35 lb./Female/Aussie/Retriever Mix Name: Ember Age: 5 year Weight: 35 lbs Breed: Aussie Mix Status: Single, soulful, and hoping this is her year for love ✨❤️ About Me: Hi, I’m Ember — gentle-hearted, quietly charming, and the kind of girl who looks at you like you’re the only person in the room. I may not be the loudest pup at the party, but once I choose you, I’m all in. I love my people deeply and bond fast with those who take the time to know me. I enjoy walks, calm playtime, and being close — whether that’s sitting at your feet or leaning in for reassurance. I’m smart, thoughtful, and have that classic Aussie sensitivity that makes me incredibly in tune with my humans. If you believe love should feel safe, steady, and warm… we might be a Pawfect match. Best Qualities: • Sweet, affectionate, and emotionally intuitive • Loyal once bonded — a true heart dog • Smart and eager to please • Calm, gentle presence with a playful side • Expert at soulful eye contact My Ideal Match: • A patient, loving home that believes in building trust • Someone who wants a close companion, not just a pet • A family or individual who enjoys walks, quiet moments, and meaningful connection • Humans ready to give love — and receive it tenfold Deal Breakers: • Not ideal for a chaotic or constantly changing environment • Needs reassurance, kindness, and consistency • Wouldn’t thrive with someone looking for an independent, hands-off dog Fun Fact: Still young at heart — I believe growing up doesn’t mean slowing down. ❤️🐾 ​ This Valentine’s season, Ember isn’t asking for much — just a forever person who sees her gentle heart and chooses her back. And once she does? You’ll never feel alone again. ❤️🐶
