About Emmett

Introducing Emmett! Emmett is a dachshund mix who has the biggest heart ever. Emmett loves other dogs, is not cat tested, but would likely do great with any animal or person because he is so easygoing. Emmett is approximately 4 years old and weighs 25 lbs. He loves belly rubs, cuddling on the couch, and getting treats. Emmett is a special needs fellow and did not have a very good start in life. we don;t know his whole story, but he was surrendered to a rural VA shelter as a 'stray' and he was in very bad condition. After some tests which weren't completely conclusive, it was determined that he has an autoimmune disease similar to Lupus that causes inflammation in Emmett's joints and skin problems. He has some spots on his face and ears where he has no hair, and it will likely never grow back. The skin on his ears is very thick and will sometimes become sore. He also has some deformity in his feet that causes him some difficulty walking and navigating stairs. Emmett is currently not on any medications, but may sometimes need pain medication or laser treatments to help to reduce the inflammation in his feet. What Emmett lacks in good looks, he makes up for tenfold in sweetness and loyalty. While Emmett, can't go for walks, he would love to ride around in a wagon or stroller and he enjoys rides in the car. Emmett also loves to play and explore in the yard. Emmett also loves kids, so he would enjoy a family with considerate children who are careful of his ears and feet.
