About Emily

Hi, I am Emily, and I’m looking for a special person to adopt me, because I am special myself! Here’s the situation, I’m (mostly) deaf. They think I can hear certain "frequencies" but who knows. I am about 2 years old. Because I am special, I got to spend 4 weeks in the baord and train program at PetSuites in Cranberry to help me with some of my unique quirks. I am doing very well in a crate, although I am still an escape artist, so an extra latch will be needed for me. I pay extra special attention to small animals and those that don't look like me (aka cats, squirrels, deer, etc) so none of those for me. I will require a tall privacy fence to contain me and my impeccable vision and scent. I guess they are extra strong to make up for my deafness.I come with a free training package at adoption to continue all the great skills I have already learned. You and I can learn things together, such as hand signals and leash training.For my good qualities- I have quite a few! I love to cuddle, all 55 lbs of me! You will never be lonely again as long as I’m around! Did I mention I’m housebroken?! Yep, I know where to do my business and you won’t have to worry about cleaning up after me in the house. I also love all humans and medium/large dogs! I just want to make friends with everyone! My foster mama says I am the sweetest dog and secretly wants to keep me. But then she wouldn't be able to help other dogs coming from bad situations like mine. So if you are a patient person, up for the challenge of training a deaf dog, and want a new best friend… I’m your girl. I just need my very own human that is patient and willing to take the time to speak a language that I can understand, so I can learn how to be the best dog ever. Apply to adopt me now through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, 15144. KL#16182 at www.pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adopt
