My story

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

Emmy Lou
5 Years Old
Lab Mix


Emmy Lou is the sweetest lady around...unless you are a porcupine. She is snuggly and social, but has not learned her lesson when it comes to chasing wild animals. Last time Emmy was with us it was because she went after a porcupine, this time she just couldn`t wait for Christmas to start opening gifts. Emmy Lou is typically a very easygoing gal, she loves to cuddle and walks like an angel on leash, but she is a smart pup who likes to keep her brain active in between her naps. She would do well in a home where her family can help keep her entertained so that she doesn`t go looking for her own fun. She had a cat friend and lived with kids in her previous homes, so we think she could do so again. She might be able to live with another low key dog, but hasn`t been very interested in making dog friends. Emmy loves to go for walks and spend time with her people, so she good be a great companion for anyone who can help keep her out of the woods and away from the Christmas tree!

If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.

For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they’re interested in - and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
