Raeford, NC • Second Chance Ranch Rescue and Sanctuary

Emersyn was born into our rescue and currently lives in a foster home with four other fur siblings. Weighing in at 2lbs, Emersyn is the smallest dog (by far) in her foster home. She was separated from her litter at two days old upon the diagnosis of her cleft palate. Due to the danger of nursing for a cleft palate puppy, Emersyn required tube feedings until she was able to be weaned. Although Emersyn is at least 50 lbs smaller than all other dogs in the house, she absolutely runs the place! She enjoys playing with her older brother, Talos, but her older brother, Barnabas, is terrified of her. She enjoys tormenting Barnabas. She has her foster dad absolutely wrapped around her little paw! She can often be found begging him to carry her around or sitting on his shoulder. Emersyn is two pounds of unbridled sass and spunk. Her new bed is one of his favorite things, although she still occasionally sneaks into Barnabas' crate to steal his bed. She loves to perch on her foster dad's shoulder like a parrot while they sit on the couch together. She is an absolute joy to be around and she knows it too! In the exams she had after birth, Emersyn was diagnosed with a cleft palate, hydrocephalus, entropion, two hernias, luxating hips and patellas, and chronic upper respiratory infections. Emersyn's cleft palate came as a shock to our rescue. Being a small nonprofit, we will be unable to pull together the upwards of $10k required for all of her surgeries, but we are very committed towards giving Emersyn the best life we can.
