Emmett's Story

Meet Loveable Emmett! ??<br/><br/>Emmett is a "gentle giant" senior dog who loves everyone. He was discovered living under a bridge in downtown Houston. He was emaciated & he couldn't see as his eyes were full of infection. A good samaritan wanted to save him, so she posted his urgent situation. Once I saw the post I knew I had to do something, so I reached out to her.<br/><br/>She went back to find him & he was still there, so she loaded him up & took him to a vet. They cleaned his eyes & started him on antibiotic eyedrops. We boarded him there until we could arrange transport. As miserable as he must've been, he was so sweet & cooperative & grateful from the first moment.??<br/>Once transported to DFW, he received further vet care. After his weight was up & he was feeling good, he was neutered. His eyes & skin cleared up & his coat became shiny & soft. He tested heartworm + & he's been on the "slow kill" treatment thus far. His x-ray showed a bullet in one of his legs. It doesn't bother him, but it's infuriating to know someone shot this gentle angel of a dog. <br/><br/>We're so thankful & happy we were able to save this precious dog from a miserable life on the streets. He wouldn't have likely survived much longer. Emmett has the sweetest temperament & he's just so adorable. (We named him after Emmett Kelly, a talented American performer best known for his beloved, down-on-his-luck hobo clown character.)????<br/><br/>Emmett gets along with all of the other dogs he has met.. young, old, big & small. He loves all people too! He's likely good around cats due to his gentle nature. He's goofy & loveable. Housetrained & crate trained. Appears to be a mastiff mix. Approx 8 yrs & 75 lbs. Huggable! <br/><br/>Emmett would love to find a forever home where he can live his best life! This boy is so very special & he will bring joy to any family. <br/><br/>His ? video:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EVzZJxDKL/<br/><br/>*All questions are welcome! 615-540-8448 <br/>bemyforeverhome.org <br/><br/>Please copy-paste-SHARE ?
