Emmy

PUPPY ALERT!!!

Meet Emmy - one of Lucy's sweet puppies.  Emmy was born in a shelter in South Carolina on Oct 26th, so she is now ready for adoption!  While Emmy's heritage is unknown, we believe that she'll be about 35# as an adult.  She has her mother's physique - long body and short legs.

Emmy loves to be held and give kisses.  In fact, she'll often whine to be picked up (especially when I'm on the phone).  She plays hard and then sleeps hard.  Each day, more of her personality shines through.

Before applying for a puppy, please carefully consider the following issues.  Will someone be home every 2-3 hours to let the puppy outside?  Our general rule of thumb is that if a dog needs to be crated more than 6 hours/day total, then that dog is the wrong one for the person's lifestyle.  Please consider Puppy Kindergarten classes.  More dogs under the age of 3 years are euthanized for behavior issues than for illnesses.  Puppies (and dogs) are expensive.  It can cost over $1500 a year to care for a dog (vet check ups, shots, spay/neuter, heartworm/flea tick preventatives, food, and other supplies).  We do not adopt puppies more than 1-2 hours outside of the Washington DC area (will adopt in Baltimore and Richmond).
