Greyhound and American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Emery aka Emmy

Greyhound x Staffordshire Terrier mix,
Weighs 47 lbs.
Estimated birthdate is 9/19/24.

Emery is a beautiful and sweet girl. She loves playing dress up. This year for Halloween, she was a vampire AND a witch. She had two costumes because of how much she loved getting dressed and posing for the camera.

Emery got to go for a foster outing with a volunteer, who noted that she takes treats extra gently and has a very docile temperament with people she trusts. She is treat-motivated, so it would be a way to train! She also loves car rides and minds her manners in the car.

Currently Emery lives with a foster with other dogs, She loves to have play time. Emery tends to be full of energy so she would be your best hiking or running friend. She tends to be wary of men at times. Emery would do best with someone who will take her out to burn her energy off and will be patient with her while she learns her new life isn't fighting for survival anymore.

Emery was rescued from the county shelter, where she was scheduled to be euthanized due to overcrowding. She was going to lose her life despite being young, happy, and healthy.
