About this Dog
*Adoption Donation Sponsored* The family of the late Joseph M Pistorino is sponsoring Emma's adoption donation in his honor! Huge thank you to the Pistorino Family! To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Emma is available for adoption to Massachusetts residents, as well as those in the other New England states. Age: About 7 1/2 years old (as of July 7, 2024) Weight: About 48 pounds (as of August 6, 2024) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Emma is a sweet girl who someone left tied to a fence of an animal shelter. Now, she is looking for a special home that can give her the love and security she needs to become her best self. We think she is about 7 years old and has all the good qualities of an adult dog. Emma, who was previously at a shelter before being transported to RI, has had limited exposure to people and pets. However, she has shown tolerance and playfulness with dogs and remains calm when meeting new canine friends. So far with her Rhode Island foster she is doing great and acclimating to home life. She might act a bit shy at first but give her a little time and she will be your new best friend. She can jump out of excitement when greeting people she knows. She is affectionate, intelligent, outgoing, even-tempered, gentle, and eager to please. These characteristics lead us to believe that she will do well in a household that provides her with consistency and stability. She would do best in a low key and predictable environment without a lot of foot traffic. She would do best in a home without young children, although visiting kids could be fine. She absolutely loves spending time outdoors whether on walks or hanging in the yard. She is great leash walker and would make a great walking companion. Poor Emma is absolutely terrified of storms and may try to hide or escape when she hears them. Her caretakers are currently medicating her when they know a storm is coming, which takes the edge off. She has been making progress with this in her foster home. Emma is house trained, with regular trips outside as well as clean in her crate. She has also been left free roaming in the home alone for several hours without destruction. We strongly advise training for Emma (and all dogs) to help her bond with you, follow instructions, and build confidence. A trained dog is so much easier to live with! While we don’t know much about Emma’s history, we do know she will be a great family member for a person or persons who are willing to love her and help her when things get noisy and scary. Are you ready to be Emma’s BFF? She’s ready to be yours! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website: Adoption Application - SOS Animal Rescue League in Rhode Island (sosarl.org) **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.

Adopt Emma *LOCAL* and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Emma *LOCAL*'s new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Emma *LOCAL*'s current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Emma *LOCAL*, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Emma *LOCAL*'s Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Emma *LOCAL* was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Emma *LOCAL*’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.

We want the Emma *LOCAL*’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Emma *LOCAL*’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
