Emmy was in the hands of an emergency vet team just a few hours after being rescued from an icy roadway. Their purpose was to elevate her body temperature because she was still cold and to heal her wounds.

The emergency vet crew had fallen in love with Emmy within minutes.

"They said she just lit up and that she was the sweetest girl, and that she always greeted everyone who came in to care for her by wagging her tail," Boesen continued.

Emmy's temperature had controlled by Saturday morning, and she was ready to be put in a foster family. When Boesen arrived to pick her up, she was amazed by how much the pup's personality had blossomed in just 24 hours.
