Emma's Story

Location: Medicine Hat // Age: Approx 1 year // Sex: Spayed female // Size: 29lbs // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Yes, dog savvy cats // Kids: Yes // <br/><br/>🐾Meet Emma – your beautiful, brown-eyed adventure buddy! Emma is a stunning young girl with rich dark brown fur and a perfect medium size at around 30 lbs—big enough for outdoor adventures, yet small enough to curl up comfortably beside you on the couch. With her soft, soulful look and gentle personality, Emma has a way of quietly stealing hearts wherever she goes. <br/><br/>🐾This sweet girl has a medium-to-high energy level and would love an active home that enjoys daily walks, playtime, and a little fun in the yard. She’s a big fan of fetch and absolutely lights up when she gets to play and wrestle with other dogs. Emma has formed a close bond with her foster dog sibling and would likely thrive with a friendly canine companion. <br/><br/>🐾On walks, Emma does fairly well and is eager to take in the world around her—sometimes very eager, as every leaf, scent, and interesting object catches her attention! She responds well to guidance and is learning her manners as she goes. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with a bit of patience, her affectionate and loving personality quickly shines through. <br/><br/>🐾At home, Emma is gentle and easygoing. She’s crate trained, settles nicely when left alone, and sleeps peacefully through the night—whether that’s in her crate, on her bed, or snuggled up close to her people. She’s still working on consistent house training and will need a family committed to helping her build a solid routine. 🐾Emma’s favorite things include long walks, cozy cuddles, playing with her dog friends, chewing on sticks, and—adorably—collecting slippers (don’t worry, she doesn’t destroy them… she just likes to borrow them!). <br/><br/>🐾With her sweet temperament, affectionate nature, and playful spirit, Emma would fit well into many homes, especially one that will keep her active, continue her training, and shower her with the love she so happily gives in return.

Ruff Start Rescue Society's Adoption Policy
Adoption Process Step 1: Browse Our Adoptable Animals Take your time reading each dog’s profile carefully to see who may be the best fit for your home, lifestyle, and experience. Step 2: Submit an Application Complete our online adoption application as thoroughly as possible. The more detail you provide, the better we can make thoughtful and appropriate matches. Step 3: Application Review A team member will review your application and reach out via your preffered method to arrange a phone interview to learn more about your home and answer questions. Step 4: Meet & Greet If your application is approved, we’ll schedule a meet-and-greet. This is a chance to spend time with the animal and ask questions. Afterward, everyone goes home to “sleep on it” before making a decision. Step 5: Home Check A home check is required for every adoption. This ensures your space is safe and ready for your new pet. Step 6: Reference Calls We will complete reference checks before moving forward to the next step in the process. Step 7: Trial Period (Optional) Families with resident pets or children may request a one-week trial adoption. A $200 deposit is required and will be applied to the adoption fee if the trial is successful. Step 7: Finalization When everyone agrees it’s the perfect match, we’ll finalize the adoption contract. That’s when your new family member officially comes home!
