OPARI: Foster Dog of the Week- Emaline

Meet Emaline: The Sweet Survivor Hoping for Her Forever Home

Waupaca County-Our Pack Animal Rescue has chosen Emaline as this week’s featured foster pup, and after hearing her story, it is easy to see why she’s earned the spotlight.

Emaline was rescued as a one-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix fostered in Waupaca, although after her arrival, her DNA test surprised everyone by showing she is actually an American Pit Bull! At 42 pounds, she is the perfect mid-sized companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality.

She’s friendly with other dogs, wonderful with every child she has met, and is fully vetted and fixed. Her foster home reports that she has done great in doggie playgroups and loves the attention of anyone willing to scratch behind her ears.

But what really makes Emaline stand out is her resilience. A volunteer spotted her while sorting shelter lists by “Longest stay first.” There she was. Waiting. Overlooked. Still hopeful.

After being brought into the rescue, Emaline received an orthopedic consult that revealed a stage 4 luxating patella, which means her kneecap had shifted far from where it belonged. What could have been a deal-breaker for some became a mission for Our Pack Animal Rescue. They stepped in, moved quickly, and got her the surgery she needed.

Today, Emaline is recovering like a champ in her foster home and nearing the end of her medical hold. Her spirit never dimmed through the process, and her foster calls her “a trouper in every sense of the word.”

If you’re looking for a loving, playful, loyal dog with a comeback story worthy of its own movie, Emaline might just be your girl.
