Boasting the scruffy charm of a Shih Tzu mix and the wisdom that only comes with age, (10+) Emerson is a unique soul with a big personality. Currently blossoming as he recovers from past health challenges, this resilient survivor shows us more of his feisty spirit every day. Rather than simply going with the flow, Emerson knows his own mind and isn't afraid to stick to his convictions, bringing plenty of sass and entertainment to the right home.

A firm believer in exclusivity, Emerson holds high standards for his companions. As a discerning gentleman, he carefully selects who enters his inner circle, preferring to rule his own domain without the interference of other animals. Having officially retired from the hustle and bustle of high-energy households, he requires a serene, adult-only sanctuary where he won't be bothered by children. For him, trust is something earned, not given.

For a compassionate soul who appreciates a dog with strong character and is willing to support his healing journey, Emerson offers a chance to join his elite club. (Bonus: To ensure he continues to thrive, the rescue is committed to supporting his transition and ongoing recovery needs!)

Emerson's adoption donation is $100, which includes his vaccines, microchip and neuter.
