About 26 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Meet Emma!✨ Emma is the sweetest, cuddliest girl who loves attention and being close to you. She’s always up for a game of tug a war with our resident dog Oakly, and is VERY treat motivated. She also loves her bully sticks and duck feet, but nothing beats a good cuddle. She’s not shy about climbing right onto your lap to get some extra love! Emma is still getting used to the outside world and can be a little unsure around passing dogs, cars, and unfamiliar noises. We think she’d really thrive in a quieter environment with a patient family who can help her build confidence at her own pace & with lots of positive reinforcement. On leash, she walks beautifully and right by your side. Emma’s looking for a loving home where she can feel safe, keep learning, and get all the affection she deserves!!!🐾 Emma is approximately 0y 6m 0d old and may be 47 to 57 pounds when fully grown. They are microchipped and up to date on all age-appropriate medical care. Their breed is unknown as we have not had a DNA test done. Although our dogs are listed as unknown breed, buildings with specific dog restrictions typically enforce their rules based on what breeds a dog appears to resemble. It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. This dog is available for adoption through Muddy Paws Rescue. If you're interested in adopting, the first thing you should do is begin the registration process at www.muddypawsrescue.org. If you are already a registered adopter with Muddy Paws Rescue, please email us at adoptionmeetings@muddypawsrescue.org.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
She’s not shy about climbing right onto your lap to get some extra love!. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
On leash, she walks beautifully and right by your side. Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.

It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
