Meet Emmett: Your Goofy, Lovable Best Friend in the Making!
If sweet and silly is your kind of vibe, Emmett might just be your dream dog! This lovable goofball is a 1-in-a-million mix of playful energy and laid-back chill. He’s happiest romping around the yard with his foster brothers (two GSPs he gets along with like a champ) or cuddling up close—so close, in fact, that he might “accidentally” bump into you while you’re moving around the house. He hasn’t mastered personal space yet, but we think it just means he really loves being by your side!
What Makes Emmett Awesome:
Social Superstar: Emmett adores doggy friends and thrives with a canine squad. Whether wrestling, playing tug-of-war, or just lounging together, he’s a team player.
Trainable Goof: In just one week, he learned to sit and wait for his food—a sign that his food motivation makes him a training pro. He already knows “sit,” “shake,” and “come,” and he’s ready to keep learning!
Easygoing Homebody: While Emmett loves outdoor adventures like yard zoomies and bird-watching, he’s also content to lounge around and relax by your feet while you work.
Things to Know About Emmett:
Manners in Progress: He’s working on greeting people without jumping (he’s just SO excited to meet everyone!) and learning to steer clear of household items left lying around—so far, only one guitar tuner has met its end.
Food Enthusiast: Mealtime is his favorite time of day, and he’s learning to respect his foster siblings’ bowls. Feeding him separately works great while he learns.
Best Fit: Emmett’s love for closeness and his goofy clumsiness might make him a better match for families without toddlers or elderly individuals who could be accidentally tripped. A home with another dog (or two!) and folks who are around often would be his dream!
The Essentials:
House-trained? ✅ No accidents, even overnight.
Crate-trained? ✅ Sleeps soundly all night (especially if you bribe him with a Greenie!).
Leash Manners? ✅ Pretty good.
Exercise Needs? ✅ Daily yard play and wrestling with other dogs keep him happy, though he’d love hikes or runs too.
Emmett’s foster family says, “Everyone who meets him falls in love.” If you’re ready for a cuddly, goofy, and trainable best friend, Emmett is ready for you! Could you be his forever family? â¤ï¸
