Emma was previously adopted out several years ago as a puppy but was recently returned to us because of some negative interactions with the other female resident dog. Two alpha girls in the same house can be a recipe for possible disaster. We require our adopters to return their dogs to us if they cannot keep the dog for any reason at any time, so we were happy to take Emma back. Those of you who were members in 2012 may remember Emma as one of the two dogs picked up on a highway median in New Mexico by some Good Samaritans and transported to Scottsdale where they live. They turned the dogs over to Animal Medical and Surgical Center along with enough money to more than cover their vet care. AMSC then called us, as the girls were obvious mixes. Now Emma was back in Rescue in 2015. An adoptive couple were quite interested in adopting Emma but were leaving on a vacation for a couple of weeks. When they returned, they were ecstatic to learn she was still available. Good things were worth waiting for, and it looks like Emma is now enjoying her role as House Princess. This update was uplifting!

We were delighted when we were contacted in July 2015 about adopting Emma. She truly is a great dog! Emma loves walks in the neighborhood, as well as rides in the car. She always greets visitors with enthusiasm. We just celebrated her fourth birthday in August. Emma has adjusted well to her new home and is a wonderful addition to our family!
