Emma 09-505 [1]

Sponsored by: Stefanie K.
Emma is a PB  light color Golden  Retriever who was an owner surrender.  She was living in an outdoor kennel and the owners did not have time for her.  Thanks to the GS that took her in and bathed her, cut out numerous mats and started working with her on housebreaking.  She is learning to live inside a house and new sounds startle her, but she is adjusting well.  It is fun watching her grow!  She seldom barks, but lets the resident dogs do that!
She had her first visit to the vet and is in good health.  She is HW negative.  The vet estimates her age at 18 mos to 2 years. She weighs about 60 lbs, which is a little underweight, the vet said she could gain about 5 more lbs.. 

She is submissive and loves to run and play tug with the the resident dogs, Snowie and Sammie.  She also loves tennis balls.

She is co habitiating with 2 cats and does not seem to mind even though they like to rub up against her.

She is a very happy dog and wants to be with her human. She does the typical golden nudge if you aren't paying enough attention to her.  She responds well to her name, and knows how to sit. We are working on other commands. 
She is looking for a family that will be committed to taking her to obedience so she can learn to be the best dog there is!  She is very smart and wants to please. She has a lot of energy and I feel she would be best in a home without small children.

She is settling in to her foster home and has already earned free roam of the house.
  
More to come as she settles in and we get to know her.  If you are interested in meeting her, please contact your placement advisor.
