Emmi

My story

If you're interested in fostering or adopting, please fill out the application on our website. This text was copied from our partner Rescue! If she finds a foster and her forever home, she will be on the next transport to WA. Foster or adopt Emmi💜 She is 11 years old. Single, mature, female looking for a man (or woman) to live with for the rest of my life, and you know, as a Chihuahua I may have quite a few more years. Most of the day I’ll lounge in my bed while you work so you can buy me food. I’ll happily go for walks and, of course, I don’t need a leash. I mean, have you seen me walk? I had some issues with my legs earlier this year and I couldn’t even walk, but that didn’t stop me. I just scooted around the house on my toosh. I got pretty good at doing the Butt-Scootin’ Boogie. But, I digress. I’m back on my feet and walking and running everywhere. One of the vets I charmed thinks I had an issue with a disc, but I am now good to go. I would love to be the apple of your eye and not live with other dogs but I’m living with three big dogs and two little dogs right now, and I’m perfectly capable of keeping them all in line. I work especially hard to make sure dad is protected from them when we're snuggling on the couch. My smile might be a little off without any teeth but that hasn’t slowed down my eating. I look like a weightlifter with my strong upper body. With all that scooting and pulling myself around the house, I built up some muscles. Of course I’m spayed. Who wants to deal with puppies? Have you seen what happens to a girl's figure after having puppies? No way! I don’t like to talk about my past but if you need to know, my first family decided that I was too much for them and dropped me off at the shelter. Can you believe it? But, it’s okay because now I’m in a much better place. I even had surgery to repair a hernia. I’m not sure what that is but it was a lump on my belly. My figure is much more svelte now.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Emmi, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
