Meet Emma (aka Emma Bean)
Breed: Mixed Breed (Shepherd mix suspected)
Personality: Gentle • Introverted • Sensitive
Energy Level: Low
Gets along great with other dogs and ignores cats

Emma is a quiet, soulful girl who prefers calm spaces, soft blankets, and a predictable routine. She is the definition of an introvert’s introvert—thoughtful, observant, and slow to trust, but deeply loyal once she feels safe.

Emma did not have an easy start in life and has experienced hardships early on. She was originally found with her seven tiny puppies. A good samaritan took her in during this time and cared for her and pups until it was time for puppies to be adopted. All of her puppies have been adopted and Emma has since been spayed and up to date on vaccines. We do not know a lot about where she came from but guessing she roamed the streets not knowing where her next meal may come from. She approaches new people and situations cautiously. She is not fearful or aggressive—she simply needs time and patience.

Cozy corners and comfy places to relax - a nearby couch or bed

Final Thoughts
Emma is not broken—she is simply introverted. She does not need perfection, just consistency and kindness. She may not bond instantly, but with time, she will show her affection in subtle, meaningful ways: waiting at the door when you come home, resting her head on your foot, or quietly sharing space beside you.

Emma will be a deeply rewarding companion—proof that the slowest bonds are often the strongest.
