Emmie's Web Page

Hi I am Emmie (aka Ember)! I am about 1 1/2 year old female lab mix and full of wiggles and wags. I am a good vibes kind of gal. I would love someone who has time for me. My favorite place to be is near my people!!..I love to be loved… belly rubs, ear scratches… yes, please!!

I am good about staying off the furniture but enjoy having a cozy place to lay… nap time is important to me and I do spend some of my day lounging and relaxing…I am happy to hang out with you if you work from home or relax alone. Sometimes, my foster dad invites me on the lounge chair, it’s pretty great and I am big lap dog and snuggler. Guess what else? I am potty trained and crate trained too! I enjoy being outside helping you work around the yard, but need to be monitored.

A HIGH fenced yard would great, I love a good critter chase and am defiantly quite an athlete outside. No cats or small dogs would be best. Training would be very helpful, I am still young, I can get jumpy sometimes when I am excited, I will make you feel like the most important person when you come home!! Positive reinforcement is important to build my confidence. I am very smart and love to hear you tell me I am good girl… My foster mom says I am quite the princess… and I am very happy to be at the center of attention!! Did I mention that being rescued is great??

I am currently being fostered with two older male dogs and two older kids. I am still figuring out how to be friends with the dogs in the house…They have been teaching me the importance of alerting the family of all deliveries, but I am not a big barker (these herding breeds take their job seriously, I prefer squirrel and chipmunk patrol. I would be fine as an only dog or with an experienced dog owner who can help me when I am nervous… I am not really interested in playing with the dogs in my foster home, but I do follow them around the house and we lounge around together. I am doing well walking on leash and enjoy car rides… I am ready to be your best girl!

Being in a shelter can be stressful and I hope that whoever adopts me will help me shine!! I am thankful to the volunteers at Starfish to give me a new chance at life.

If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application .

We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!
