Meet mama Emery! Emery is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” below). “Fur-st Impressions” are very important! Schedule a meet and greet with Emery before applying to see if she is the perfect fit for your family by emailing us at Fur-stImpressions@pathofhoperescue.com. A completed Adoption Application will be required after the meet and greet to move forward with Emery’s adoption.
Friendly, funny, athletic and affectionate, lovely Emery is a smaller dog at about 31 pounds (born in June of 2022, she is at her adult size). We believe she is a Labrador retriever mix, and she has soft black fur and gentle, amber eyes. Emery loves the older children she has met in her foster home and quickly became BFFs with the resident dog (romping together is a favorite pastime for this medium energy girl). She hasn’t been cat tested yet, but we will let you know once she has. Emery is quite possibly the sweetest girl you will ever meet; she is full of spunk, love, joy, and happiness. Snuggles, giving kisses, and toys top her list of favorite things. This girl is a survivor and has the most grateful and thankful spirit you will ever meet.
If you follow our social media, you may be familiar with Emery’s story. She was found pregnant and running the streets of New Mexico by a kind couple who took her to a rescue. We committed to taking her and her five babies (the Nail Salon litter). Upon their arrival in Spokane, it was quickly apparent that some of the pups and Emery were unwell. Testing revealed that three of the pups and their mother were infected with the distemper virus, an often-fatal disease. The three ill pups succumbed to distemper; Emery (with the loving care of her foster) was able to prevail against the virus. Recently testing free of distemper, she celebrated with a pup cup! While Emery has a couple of residual effects from her distemper battle, they will not impede her ability to live a rich and full life. She has a slight tremor that comes and goes but does not seem to bother her at all; she will have some issues with the enamel on her teeth for the remainder of her life; and she has a dry nose that can be managed with ointment. Now healthy and bright eyed again, she is an active, confident, loving, and playful girl looking to make up for the time she lost while ill.
Emery is a smart girl who has been working on her skills while recovering. She is potty and crate trained and walks well on a leash. She sleeps through the night and is quite content to spend time on her own. She will start learning her basic obedience commands shortly.
Emery’s ideal home? This resilient survivor will be the perfect addition to any home. Affectionate, snuggly, and gentle, she seeks a family to love who will love her in return, provide her with walks and play adventures, and perhaps offer playmates in the form of kids or other dogs. Does this sound like your home?

Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue
- Our adoption process sets us apart. We specialize in learning about you and your family to find just the right fit for you. Our Matchmakers are not only good at what they do; they will also guide you through the entire process.
- Our Minimum Adoption Donation is $550 for puppies under a year and $450 for dogs one year and older. We are a WA state registered non-profit and rely heavily on adoption donations to cover the expenses associated with saving lives. Our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; microchipped with free lifetime registration; and up to date on DAPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines (when age appropriate) and deworming and heartworm treatment/prevention. Adopters can also earn a $100 training refund if they attend (6) hours of any in person training course.
- Long Distance adopters (one hour or more from Spokane) may choose to travel to Spokane to pick up their dog or use our monthly transport option, Puppy Delivery Express, for an additional delivery donation of $250. Puppy Delivery Express currently delivers dogs throughout Washington and to parts of Montana, Idaho, and Oregon.
About Path of Hope Rescue
- At Path of Hope Rescue, our goal is to make EVERY DOG. WANTED. Our two employees and army of volunteers focus on transporting pregnant dogs and puppies from Texas, the number one kill state in America. The dogs we rescue are in poor living conditions and on euthanasia lists in shelters that are inundated with unwanted animals. We want to give these dogs a chance and bring them to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive, loving homes.
- We are 100% foster based; our dogs are fostered in loving homes where they are house and crate trained and learn basic obedience and leash skills. Dogs experience socialization opportunities with people, places, and other animals, and they receive the attention required to become well-rounded, healthy, and affectionate dogs that they would not otherwise receive in a shelter environment.
- Our commitment does not end when the dog is adopted. Path of Hope offers post adoption owner support including information on making the dog’s transition to your home a smooth one; recommendations for Preferred Trainers; advice on pet behavior and wellness topics; Facebook litter groups to keep in touch with fellow adopters; and invitations to local rescue hosted events.
