Emer had it rough from the start. At only three weeks old Emer was found in a hospital emergency room parking lot in Texas by a hospital security guard. The security guard convinced a hospital worker that he would make a good puppy for her children. They named the puppy Emer because of where he was found.
The hospital worker took him home and took care of him for about three years. She then became ill and was no longer able to care for him. Emer was left alone in her home with the neighbors looking after him. Carmen and Mark would visit him at the neighbor’s home and make sure that he had food and water and as much loving as they could give him. Carmen and Mark were unable to take him into their home because they already had three pets. Carmen and Mark knew that this was no life for Emer and so they reluctantly gave him up to a Texas shelter who transferred Emer to a rescue in Chicago. Carmen immediately regretted it and tried to call the rescue in Chicago where he was, but unfortunately, he was already adopted. Carmen was able to find the new owner on the rescue’s Facebook page and kept in touch with her for a while getting updates on how Emer was doing. Emer was with his new owner for over two years. During this time, they moved to Ohio where unknown circumstances caused him to once again become a stray. A Good Samaritan found him in a Taco Bell parking lot where the employees were feeding him. The Good Samaritan cleaned Emer up and had him looked over by a vet who found Emer’s chip. After exhausting her options in finding the Emer’s owner, the Good Samaritan turned to Microchip Hunters for help. Microchip Hunters did everything that they could to find Emer’s owner by chip. Neither Microchip Hunters, the rescue he came from, nor the good Samaritan had any luck contacting this owner in Ohio. A Microchip Hunter volunteer checked the FB page of the rescue that Emer was adopted from and found the original adoption post with comments from Carmen. Because Carmen included her contact information in the post, Microchip Hunters was able to contact her, and she was very excited to hear from them. Carmen immediately said that she would try and contact the owner. Carmen said that she didn’t want anything bad to happen to Emer and she and her husband, now without any pets, would love to have him. Both Carmen and her husband attempted to contact Emer’s owner, but they were both unsuccessful. Because no contact could be made with the owner and the mandatory hold time had expired the Good Samaritan sent Emer back to Chicago to the rescue he was adopted from. This time he would not get away from Carmen and Mark. With the help of the Microchip Hunters volunteer all Carmens information and history with Emer was given to the rescue and they agreed that Emer needed to go back to Texas to his forever family. It took over a month to get Emer to Texas but when he got there, Carmen and Mark were waiting for him. Carmen said “He spotted us, came right away to us wagging his tail. Just perfect!”. It was obvious that Emer was very happy to see them again after almost three years. Emer now goes on adventures and is in a very loving home where he has a yard to roam in whenever he wants. A big thank you to all involved in Emer's safety and return home, welcome home Emer!!! Story by Microchip Hunter Deb, who went above and beyond to make sure Emer could get back home!
