Emmie is a very cute 3 year old spayed girl who is about 30 pounds. Emmie was originally found on the steps of a church in Flushing, Queens. She was muzzled and her front paws were duct taped. After being put into foster care upstate and then adopted, Emmie was then returned to rescue upstate after her adopted family could not take care of her and their young family. Right now, Emmie is in foster care with NYCSR.
Emmie’s foster mom says she’s very smart! She’s learned the ropes and bonded within her foster home very quickly. She’s also a really sweet affectionate shiba. She is eating well and has learned to like her crate. Emmie was having some issues with separation anxiety which her foster mom has been working on as well with great strides having been made. She is also working on further training with Emmie and getting her more comfortable around other dogs on walks.
Emmie would do really well as an only child in an experienced dog owner’s home. She’s very loyal and just needs time and dedication to continue her progress.

Poor girl! She looks sweet and as you say, needs some understanding and patience… I doubt I’d be so nice after being bound and gagged. Geez.
Emmie looks very sweet. I am looking for a mild-mannered dog to live with me in my smallish apartment.
is emmie available for adoption? Iwould love to meet her. My husband comes to new york once a week. Should would love our nice back yard
Emmie looks real nice and might be a good addition to our family. Tom and I live in Bridgeport,Ct for 6 months and St.Peterbuerg Florida for 6 months. We have Barney a 6 year old neutered male Shiba black & tan. Barney doesn’t always socialize well with other male dogs but loves female shibas. I will be en route to Ct. in a few days or so with Barney to Conn. Let me know if we could meet Emmie? John
