Emmy is currently in the care of P.O.E.T. Animal Rescue, but her rescue was a collective effort with multiple agencies banding together to pick her up from her cold location outside and take her to a vet who could provide her with the medical attention she required.

Friends of River Rouge Animal Shelter was the first to discover about Emmy and swiftly put out a need for support on social media. After viewing the post, the director of a local spay and neuter clinic, The PAWS Clinic, offered to drive the dog to the vet. She took Emmy to Pet Care Clinic Lincoln Park, where a veterinarian team checked her extensively.

"She was severely malnourished," claimed Boesen. "Everyone assumed she wasn't going to make it."
