her so she & Kia can become better friends.
All I know is that Jeremy and his wife adopted Emma from the Humane Society about a month ago. Emma is estimated to be a year and a half. Don't know anything about her history prior to her ending up at the shelter.

My mom and I found out from Jeremy that she's terrified of the crate. They are trying to crate train her, but when she's in it, she freaks out and they are afraid she'll hurt herself. Emma bent up the wire crate they bought. They tried letting her have full run of the house, but she ripped down the window blinds in both the living room and bedroom.

So when they are not home, they put her in the pen outside, which she promptly climbs out of and ends up on my parents doorstep.

It's obvious she has abandonment issues, I just don't have any more advice for them. It's obvious they love her and want to help her, but they don't know what to do.

They didn't want to tie her up, but I think that's what they ended up having to do as she has not shown up at my parents house the last few days.
