Emery - Boxer Dog for Adoption in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

"Hello! I'm Emery! I am a 3 year old spayed female Boxer. I grew up in a kennel, and came to Zoe's House Rescue in June 2026.
I am very sweet and low key. I love to lounge around the house in sunny spots and take long naps. I do like toys, but I can only have solid ones that are big enough I cannot swallow them. I can't resist shredding soft toys, it's so much fun! I also eat the stuffing, so foster mom said they're off limits for me.
I have had quite the learning curve as I've gotten used to living in a home. Everything was new and scary. The toaster popping, the microwave beeping, the radio, the tv - it was all brand new and overwhelming when I first arrived here. I have slowly gotten used to these things, but I still get startled sometimes. My foster mom has been working on helping me build my confidence.
I am nervous around new people, but I always warm up eventually. I will never be the life of the party, but I know when I meet MY people, they will be my best friends for life! I love to curl up on the couch with my dog foster siblings and my foster mom. I am very passive and would be gentle with kids, but they may be noisy and scare me. I have not been around children much, so I think I would prefer to live with adults. The right kids might be my best friends, however!
I love my crate, and I have never had a potty accident in the house. My foster mom says I am a very easy keeper compared to most dogs. I am very sensitive to discipline and respond well to praise and gentle voices. I want to do the right thing and all I need is to be called away from things I shouldn't do. A gentle "No, Emery" and I will stop whatever I'm doing.
I do walk well on a leash, but I am used to going potty in my foster home's fenced yard. I take slow, leisurely walks. I am no endurance runner. Being away from home makes me nervous, so even though I don't pull, it is important to keep a good hold on my leash in case I get startled. I will need to always be leashed outside, or have a fenced yard to keep me safe.
Overall, I see myself living in a home with gentle, loving family who will keep me safe. I have a lot of love to give, and I just need someone to help me blossom!"
