Sire: Warren Mtns Fire still Burns -Jasper Dam: 3bF It’s going Down Here’s a cute, heartfelt version with a little Emmet-style humor and personality:
🐾 **Meet Emmet — Looking for His Happily Ever After ❤️**
Emmet is a 7-year-old black & white Rat Terrier with just a smattering of brown furnishings — what we lovingly call his **“ghost points.”** 👻
He is also blind.
But before you start feeling sorry for him… **Emmet would like you to know that he has absolutely no interest in feeling sorry for himself.** 😂
Emmet is affectionate, sweet, and pretty easygoing. He isn’t a high-energy dog, but he’s certainly not a sloth either. He enjoys getting around, investigating his world, and most importantly…
💦 **Playing chase with the water coming from the hose.**
And eating.
Oh, does this boy LOVE to eat. Did I mention he likes food? He likes treats. He likes snacks. He probably likes the idea of snacks that haven't even been invented yet. 😂
Emmet lost his eyes to a fungal infection called **blastomycosis (blasto)**. The spores can become airborne when soil is disturbed, and exposure can happen around construction, newly dug roads or foundations, riverbeds, and areas with rotting wood, among other places.
The fungus tried very, very hard to take him from us.
But Emmet and his mum fought **tooth and eye** to save him. ❤️
And save him they did.
Today, Emmet is a happy, affectionate guy who has adapted remarkably well to his blindness. He knows his world through his other senses and, quite frankly, has figured out that being blind doesn't mean you can't still have a very good life — especially when that life includes a comfy bed, someone to love, a hose, and snacks. 😉
What Emmet is looking for now is a **quieter, more fulfilling home** where he can simply be someone's beloved dog.
🏡 Ideally, his new home would have: • Maybe **one other friendly dog** • A nice, snuggly bed • **No more than 3 stairs** • A securely fenced deck/porch area so he can't accidentally wander off an edge • A quieter lifestyle where he can settle in and enjoy his retirement years
He doesn't need a fancy life.
He doesn't need ribbons.
He doesn't need to prove anything.
He just needs someone who sees **Emmet**, rather than seeing what he has lost.
And if you happen to have a soft spot for a slightly opinionated, food-motivated, hose-chasing, blind little Rat Terrier who has already beaten some pretty incredible odds…
Well, Emmet might just be your guy. ❤️🐾
