Emjay

Meet Emjay - Your 100-Pound Lap Dog with a Heart of Gold!

At 6.5 years old, Emjay is a gentle, soulful bulldog who's equal parts snuggly teddy bear and backyard goofball. He may tip the scales at nearly 100 pounds, but don't tell him that-he still firmly believes he's a lap dog. If you're looking for a cuddle companion who's always down for a nap on the couch (preferably with his head on your chest), Emjay might just be your guy.

Emjay lives for the little things in life: quiet walks, sniffing the breeze, and lazy afternoons spent lounging near his people. Due to some ongoing health concerns and his age, he's happiest in calm environments where he can take things at his own pace. That said, don't be fooled-he still gets spectacular bursts of playful energy and loves to show off his moves with his favorite toys in the backyard.

Emjay is working hard on his dog social skills and is making amazing progress! He's learning to check in with his handler when he spots another dog and is getting better at staying calm and focused. He'll thrive with adopters who can advocate for his space, especially in busy or dog-heavy environments. He's not asking for isolation-just a little understanding. To help him feel secure (and show off his impressive training chops), he wears his muzzle like a pro.

Smart as they come, Emjay picks up new cues quickly and is always eager to learn. He's already fluent in a variety of commands and is motivated by praise, treats, and the occasional silly voice.

Like all of us, Emjay carries some baggage, and he'll need a patient, loving home that's willing to work with him as he adjusts to his new life. But we promise-he's absolutely worth it. He's not just a dog; he's a loyal, expressive companion with so much love to give.

If you're looking for a sweet, snuggly, sometimes-silly bulldog who just wants to be your best friend (and maybe the center of your world), we'd love to introduce you to Emjay. Let's find this beautiful boy the forever home he deserves.
