Description:

Emma appears to be a flat-coated retriever/border collie mix.  She is about 1.5 years old and 50 lbs with a beautiful, velvety-soft, jet black coat.  Her eyes are brown with a blue spot in one.  Emma loves people and is good with kids.  She can be a little bouncy when first meeting them, but then calms down and is quite gentle with them.  Her initial bouncing may be too much for children under 5.  She's a smart dog who is just learning her name, basic commands and is brushing up on being completely housebroken.  She loves going for walks and does a great job on the leash as long as there are no squirrels that need to be chased.  Emma likes to play with her toys by herself, but doesn't seem used to playing with people.  She loves other dogs of any size, and has shown no food aggression towards dogs or people.  While she needs the exercise appropriate for a young dog her size, she is calm in the house and seems to be content chewing on a bone near people, or leaning against you so you can pet her lovely, soft coat.  She doesn't like being in her kennel (possibly a result of spending a month at a dog pound), and would do well in a home where there are people around during the day so she won't spend long hours alone.  She also needs someone to take her for some fun car rides so she learns that car rides are good - she needs "encouragement" to get in the car, but once in, she rides well.  Because Emma is young and smart, she would do well in obedience training - she learned the hand signal for "sit" in less than 5 minutes.  She is already spayed and anxiously waiting to go to her forever home.

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
