Emma

The quiet ones are often the easiest to miss. I'm hoping you'll notice me.<br/><br/>Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a 5 year old, 50 pound girl, and I've been waiting at the shelter since April 2. While some dogs bark or bounce to get your attention, I quietly sit and hope you'll stop at my kennel.<br/><br/>Volunteer dog trainer Alyssa says, "Emma is the kind of dog who doesn't demand attention. She simply hopes for it."<br/><br/>When I first arrived, I was a little unsure of everything around me. I think I was confused about how I ended up here. Once I learned I was safe, my personality started to shine.<br/><br/>I'm friendly, affectionate, and happiest when I'm close to my people. I love snuggling, spending time with my dog friends, and every now and then letting loose with joyful zoomies that make everyone smile.<br/><br/>I'm also an easy girl to have around. I don't jump on people, I walk beautifully on a leash, and I'm never pushy. Whether we're exploring together or simply relaxing side by side, I'm happiest just being with you.<br/><br/>If you asked the staff to describe the perfect dog, my name would come up more than once. I'm wonderful with other dogs, gentle on a leash, and happy to match your pace. If you have a dog at home, I'd love to meet them. If I'm your one and only, I'll happily soak up all the love you have to give.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a calm, loyal companion, I hope you'll give me a chance. Sometimes the best dogs aren't the loudest ones. Sometimes they're the ones quietly waiting for someone to notice them.<br/><br/><br/>Spayed and ready to go home with no geographical adoption restrictions.<br/><br/>Stafford County Animal Shelter<br/>26 Frosty Lane, Stafford, VA 22554<br/><br/>Adoption Hours<br/>Monday through Friday, 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM<br/>Saturday, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $45<br/><br/>Please ask to meet me.
