Critter Details

Emma is a beautiful, sweet, and affectionate Livestock Guardian Dog, approximately two years old, and looking for a forever home where she can thrive.  This lovely girl has a calm and gentle nature. In the house, Emma is wonderfully well-mannered. She happily sleeps on her bed or the couch, is not destructive, and shows no signs of separation anxiety. She’s always excited to welcome her people home, greeting them with quiet joy rather than barking. Likewise she greets house guests in the same manner. Emma enjoys spending time outdoors, especially lounging in a fenced yard where she can peacefully watch the world go by. She walks nicely on a leash and is friendly and calm when meeting new people.  She is spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations. Healthwise, Emma is currently being treated for Lyme disease (more common to see these days), though she has never shown any symptoms and is expected to complete her medication by May 18. She is otherwise a healthy and very happy girl! When it comes to other dogs, Emma can be selective and may become overstimulated in certain situations. She tends to guard her food around other dogs, and this is managed by always supervising her when other dogs are present, and not feeding them together. Treats must also be given in situations where there is lots of space between the dogs, so she can learn to understand her turn is coming without experiencing too much stress. Because of her reactivity to some other dogs, Emma should not be off leash in public spaces.  Emma is always gentle with people and absolutely loves having people around. She is the definition of a calm, loyal companion and her gentle presence endears her to all.  She will happily share your home and your heart if you are lucky enough to adopt this special girl.
