Adult · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed




Good day. I am Emerson and here is a bit about me:Breed: Pitbull terrier mixAge: 3 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 50 lbsHeight: 20 inchesCountry of origin: US, New MexicoHighlights: Zen, tolerant, steady, gentle, timid, loving, playfulWhile I am a bit timid yet, I am loving and playful too. I'm actually kind of the zen girl.Surrendered by a man along with my sister, Debbie (who just got adopted in Jul) to the shelter on 4/3/25. My sis was pregnant and gave birth to three puppies the very next day. A rescue stepped up to help, but in very different ways. Debbie and her three puppies were immediately taken in by a foster Mom.
The shelter only gives dogs 14 days for adoption, and so I was to be killed on 4/18. The horror. Foster parents agreed to take me in at the last minute and so I came to their house on the 18th. Phew. In early August, Debbie's foster Mom had a family emergency, so my foster parents agreed to take Debbie and get us sisters back together. Debbie came to our house on 8/9/25. Since that time, we have blossomed. Our fosters have two dogs and all four of us get along very well, often spending our days in the sunny yard and the evenings on a warm couch by the fire. Debbie found a home recently in Canada, now it is my turn.I tend to be more comfortable with my foster mom, and Debbie was more comfortable with foster dad. I love to go on walks and am leash-trained without any issues. I know to use the dog door and have never had any accidents indoors. My foster folks have an open-door crate available and both of us would fit ourselves in together, unless a couch is available. If I can access a couch, all bets are off!! LOL. We would sleep on one of the couches for hours, cuddling with, and sometimes sleeping on top of, each other!Me, I like to play chase with the other dogs. Run, tricky evasive moves, catch them. Lots of tail-wagging fun.Currently, I am much more comfortable with people inside our home. Out in the yard, I still skitter away a bit from our fosters, although I will come to foster mom for treats Basically, I have been spending days in the yard & evenings in the living room, and nights on a couch with foster dad. I love walks too.My foster states I appear to be in excellent health and without any known health issues. Though still quite timid and cautious around people, especially during times of transition when people are moving about, I am making progress every day and our fosters are confident I will make a remarkable companion for the lucky human(s) who adopt us. While we were fairly dependent on each other, we began spreading our wings... more all the time. May take a little longer yet to feel safe and come out of my shell more and settle.I will thrive with a patient, loving owner. If you happen to have another sibling for me, I am totally cool with that too. I appear trainable and smart. I am in the VERY early stages of sit and come. I know how to use a doggie door, if you have one.Extra vids: https://youtube.com/shorts/lKGLjQlLypA, https://youtube.com/shorts/NaEE4-PyATwEnergy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: absolute yes.Cats: UnknownKids: UnknownFears: Extremely cautious around people yet, especially during times when people are moving around.
