My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Emmy

My foster mom says she doesn’t know much about me except that I was a stray and was hit by a car. She calls me Emmy and sometimes Queen Em because I act like I deserve the royal treatment, I mean, I’m at least 13 years old, don’t you think I deserve it? I’m really just a genteel southern senior lady until I’m not. Sometimes I’m just a bit grumpy but aren’t all senior ladies? I love snuggling next to my foster mom and dad on the couch and being petted. When I’m really comfortable , I love to roll over on my back for some first-class belly rubbin ’. I’m not much into an active lifestyle or going for walks but I do like to play with my cloth toys. I’m really more of a lots of naps kinda girl who likes to stand outside and sniff all those wonderful outdoorsy smells. Oh, and I love, love, love going cruisin ’ in the car. Going on car rides puts me in my happy place!

As a senior girl, I’m just trying to age gracefully but I’ve also got a fighting spirit. There’s no way I’m giving up when life hands me some lemons. That’s not in my rat terrier make-up. I’m healing well from my car related injuries but like any senior, I’ve got a few health issues. I don’t hear or see the best and I have congestive heart failure that’s responding really well to medicine.

I’m heartworm negative, neutered, up to date on my shots, and I do my best to wait and go outside to do my business. Most of the time I do great but one of my meds makes me go pee a lot. Sometimes I just can’t wait to go so I try to use the pee pads. I dream of finding a forever home that is low-key with an older adult (no small children please) that will love me for the rest of my senior life and be my companion. Love and doggie kisses, Emmy
