Emma’s Adoption Story
From the dogIDs archives, here is the story of how Emma joined Keely’s family and became part of our office pack.
Keely, a production specialist at dogIDs at the time, adopted a spunky boxer named Emma. To celebrate Adopt-A-Dog Month, we shared their journey together.
Finding a New Companion
Keely already had a special love for boxers. After saying goodbye to her first boxer, Lux, she eventually felt ready to welcome another dog into her family. She hoped to find a companion for Ody, her lovable mixed-breed dog, and give an adoptable dog a home.
Keely reached out to Northern Plains Boxer Rescue.
“Boxers are the goofiest, most loveable fluff nuggets. I fell in love with Lux and knew I wanted another boxer to make me smile.”
She initially applied to adopt a different boxer, but that adoption did not work out. Six months later, the adoption coordinator contacted her about another dog she thought would be a good match: Emma.
When Emma and Keely finally met, it was love at first sight for Keely. Ody was initially unsure about his new companion, but by the time we shared their story, the two had become inseparable.
Emma’s Life as an Office Dog
Emma brought plenty of personality to the dogIDs office. She loved trying to persuade Ody to play, and her favorite seat was an office chair with a view through the production windows.
A social butterfly, Emma enjoyed greeting people at the door and giving the team plenty of reasons to smile. Keely loved having her furry friends by her side during the workday.
Keely’s Advice About Adoption
Reflecting on her experience, Keely encouraged others to consider adoption, including breed-specific rescue organizations:
“People get stuck on what breed of dog they want, a certain age or what look they need to have. What they don’t know is that there are many breed specific adoption organizations. It may take a little longer to find the perfect dog, but it is worth it!”
Emma’s story remains a happy part of dogIDs’ history—a new family member for Keely and Ody, and a memorable companion for the team.
