About this Dog
Greetings. My name is EMMY and below you will find info about me:Breed: Long-haired Chihuahua mixAge: 11 yrsGender: FemaleWeight: 10 lbsHeight: 10"Country of origin: USA - TXHighlights: Sassy, Loving, Happy, Persistent, Precious, FunnyI have a big personality in the teeniest body! You'll fall in lobpve immediately.I was surrendered to the shelter in Roswell, NM in January 2025 for "behavior" issues. When a rescue group was asked to take me, I couldn't walk (my hind legs were not working), I had a lump on my belly, which they thought was a mammary tumor, was incontinent, had a bare spot on her tail, no teeth, and a cough. The shelter staff knew that if they took me to the vet I would be euthanized, but they loved me and wanted me to be rescued. The volunteers thought I was dying, and planned to love on me until it was time to say goodbye.When I arrived I didn't let my inability to walk slow me down though, and I was immediately scooting all over the house on my butt. I wasn't dying, but did have some medical issues that needed to be resolved. A disc issue was probably the cause of my inability to walk. Over the next few weeks, I started walking again by my own initiative, and my incontinence issues resolved. I had xrays and blood work done. The lump was an inguinal hernia that has been repaired. My cough is most likely from a collapsing trachea, which is apparently common in senior Chihuahuas. I am now doing very well and am not on any medication.You'll find me a sassy and loving girl. Also, a very happy pupper.I love to hang out with my people, but would do well in a home with another dog(s) when people are gone. I love to go for walks (off leash on the shelter's large property) and to snooze next to my people while they read or watch TV. There are three big dogs here, and I got along with them well from the beginning, but every once in a while I do get a little bossy with them (bark and nip at them.) Hey, I'm a persistent senior, give me a break. It took me some time to warm up to the other female foster chihuahua, who came in May 2025, but now we are buddies.I am housetrained, but being a senior, it is important to watch for my signals. I usually go out first thing in the morning and do my business just fine. I will need softer food, since I haven't any teeth.I am wary of new people, but not reactive. When I was at the vet for my surgery the staff were all loving on me when the shelter folks got there to pick me back up. Yup, I am funny and precious. A joy to have around.Videos coming soonEnergy Level: Low to moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: unknown, the shelter states should be fine, but no video proofFears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient with me during my transistion.Training:Leash skills: undetermined. Please be prepared to train me.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.Health notes: Inguinal hernia surgery in March 2025. Collapsing trachea. No teeth. Negative reaction to first anesthesia used. Second different anesthesia was successful.I have been spayed/neutered & vaccinated.My adoption fee is $600.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to the Pacific NW/Canada.Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the rescuer or local fosters. LALDR cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.

Please begin the process of claiming EMMY (New Mexico, US) yo's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption.

This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org.
