Description:

Meet Emma!

Emma is a gorgeous mini Dachshund mix with a desire to please her people and spend time with them! She loves treats, treat balls or puzzles, toys, playing with dogs, running at the dog park, and snuggling.

The ideal home for Emma would be a house, with older children (if children), small/medium playmate, and a family that is home more often than not.

From the foster:

Emma is a really sweet girl with personality to spare. She has taken to our home well (2 small dogs and a large dog). She sleeps at night in a large kennel with our two small dogs, but could easily be persuaded to sleep in a dog bed in or near your bed. She is potty trained and asks to be let outside.

We have been working with Emma to ease some of her fears and anxiousness. She has a bit of separation anxiety and can be fearful upon being put in a kennel when you are gone. For example, if Emma is left alone for longer than about 4 hours at a time (and not kenneled), she can become anxious and cry or pace. Because of this, we have not been kenneling Emma while we are gone and she stays in the house with our other two small dogs. She has been a model citizen and has not had any accidents or issues.

Emma also has some fear upon meeting new people for the first time and when meeting large dogs. She will bark until she is soothed by you, or comfortable with the person or dog. She redirects well and as such, this is likely a fear that can be eased, given time. Running at the off leash dog park is also helping her to ease some of this type of fear.

Emma is a smart dog who is food motivated and so additional training and attention may help her to be more comfortable and less anxious.

This sweetheart is looking for a special family that is ready to love her, quirks and all!

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
