(LEX 18) — A special dog named Emerson is on the hunt for her fur-ever family, according to Lexington-based rescue Paws 4 the Cause.
Emerson is a 4- to 5-month-old German Shepherd with severe spina bifida and genetic defects impacting her hips and back legs. Despite her physical challenges, Paws 4 the Cause says she's happy-go-lucky, friendly, sweet and loves kisses.
