A DOGGIE 4 YOU

Emmit is a tiny 8.5-pound neutered male Yorkie with a big personality packed into a small body. Born on September 4, 2024, this little guy may look like a cuddly teddy bear—but he’s got a bit of a “grumpy old man” attitude that makes him all the more charming.

When Emmit first meets new people, he likes to put on a tough act. He may grumble or growl at first, just to let everyone know he takes his personal space seriously. But don’t worry—his heart is easily won over with a few yummy treats or some delicious chicken. Once he realizes you’re a friend, his softer side comes out quickly.

Emmit’s journey to rescue hasn’t been the easiest. He was picked up by animal control after being chased and harassed by adults. Understandably frightened, he would only approach children, who ultimately helped catch him safely. While at animal control, he was extremely scared and did snap out of fear, scratching an officer, which meant he had to spend time in quarantine. When we were asked to take him in, we gladly welcomed him—and he has not attempted to bite while in our care.

Underneath his grumpy exterior is a little dog who really just wants to feel safe and loved. Emmit absolutely adores sitting in someone’s lap and soaking up attention once he trusts you. With patience, kindness, and a few tasty snacks, he becomes a loyal little companion.

Emmit would do best with a family that understands he may need a little time to warm up and will give him the reassurance he deserves after his rough start.
