From Umbrella of Hope

Meet Emerald Green Emerald is an approximately 10-year-old, 10-pound Chihuahua who has already survived more than most dogs ever should. When his owner went to the hospital and never returned, Emerald was left behind inside the home. He survived there on his own for nearly a month before out-of-state family arrived to manage the property and discovered him. They did not even know she had a dog. There were no records. No one knew his name. No one knew his history. What they did know was that he was terrified. The shelters were closed that day, the family was preparing to return home, and they brought Emerald to our veterinarian after being told repeatedly that euthanasia might be the only option. Our veterinarian said absolutely not. She called us. And Emerald became an Umbrella of Hope dog. At first, Emerald was deeply traumatized by everything around him. New people, sudden movements, unfamiliar places and even normal household activity could send him into panic. He is still cautious, but he is making real progress. He recently attended an adoption event and did GREAT. That was a huge milestone for a dog who once believed the entire world was dangerous. Emerald has also shown us…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
