Emmylou made some big plays, and helped bring attention to dogs in need.
Tracy Elliot is CEO of the Anti-Cruelty Society and also Emmylou's new owner.
"These dogs are great dogs; shelter dogs are not broken, they're not defective, shelter dogs are the best option if you want to put a dog in your family," he said.
Elliot was fostering Emmylou when she played in the puppy bowl, and adopted the little TV star soon after.
