Emmie

Meet Emmie - A Special Soul with a Heart Full of Love<br/><br/>Emmie is a year old double merle Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as her gentle spirit. Born deaf and visually impaired, she may not experience the world quite like other dogs, but she navigates life beautifully in her own way.<br/><br/>Her foster says that she is, without question, one of the sweetest and gentlest dogs she's ever had. Low-energy and content with many cat naps throughout the day, Emmie is no trouble at all. She loves both people and dogs, though she can be shy and nervous when first meeting new friends. With patience, slow movements, and a gentle approach, Emmie learns to trust and soon shows her affectionate side.<br/><br/>Like most dogs, Emmie explores the world through her nose-sniffing people, pups, and new spaces to understand them. She responds well to gentle touches and has learned that when I pat her back, she is safe. While her vision is limited-she cannot see objects right in front of her-she can see shadows, and once she memorizes her surroundings, she zips around with surprising confidence.<br/><br/>Indoors and in familiar spaces, Emmie's natural curiosity shines. She especially enjoys spending time outside during the day, soaking in all the scents and sensations. Nighttime, however, can feel a little scary for her, so a calm and reassuring environment is best.<br/><br/>Emmie's manners are impeccable. She does not beg for food, jump up on people, or bark often. Instead, she prefers to quietly find a cozy spot in the home. What she does love is attention-having someone sit with her, pet her, and guide her to new places in the house. She is happiest when she's by her human's side.<br/><br/>House-trained and consistent, Emmie goes outside three times a day and has even learned the route through the house to the yard, sometimes using the doggie door. She enjoys walks-especially after carefully surveying her surroundings-and never pulls on the leash. She also delights in chew bones and bully sticks.<br/><br/>Emmie is truly a special dog-sweet, resilient, and full of quiet love. With the right home, she will blossom into the most loyal and tender-hearted companion you could ever hope for.<br/><br/>If Emmie's next home could be yours, please apply at <br/>Aussie Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic, https://aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org/applications-2/
