๐ Emerald is truly a gem! ๐
๐พ 2 years old
๐พ German Shepherd Dog mix
๐พ 53 lbs
With his gorgeous coat, sweet face, and friendly personality, Emerald is one handsome boy who is sure to steal your heart. ๐ฅฐ
Emerald has a whole lot of exuberance and a serious lust for life! At just two years old, heโs an energetic, curious boy who is excited to experience everything the world has to offer. Sometimes that enthusiasm comes out as a little jumpiness, especially when heโs taking in something newโbut give him a little time and patience, and youโll see him settle and start enjoying himself.
Emerald recently went on his very first day trip, and it was a wonderful opportunity to see him outside of the shelter environment. He was a little unsure about the car at first, but with a little encouragement, he hopped right in and settled down beautifully. Once on the road, he was calm and relaxedโand he absolutely loved his pup cup! ๐ฆ๐
At Pioneer Park, Emerald was initially pretty jumpy as he took in all the new sights, sounds, and smells. After about 20 minutes, though, he settled in and really began to relax. He seemed comfortable watching kids and other dogs from a distance and enjoyed having the freedom to explore, stretch his legs, and get those shelter wiggles out. ๐ณ๐พ
And after his big adventure? A little pool time back at the shelter was the perfect way to cool down. ๐ฆโค๏ธ
We continue to discover all the wonderful pieces of Emeraldโs personality, but what we already know is that he is a sweet, friendly boy who blossoms when given patience, time, and the chance to experience new things at his own pace.
Heโs got energy, enthusiasm, curiosity, and a zest for lifeโand we think his perfect person will appreciate all of those wonderful qualities while helping him learn how to channel them. ๐
This beautiful gem deserves a chance to shine in a home of his own. โจ
