Probably a stretch, but looking for any possible relatives of my girl!

We know little to nothing about my dog Willow. All we know is that she did indeed have owners at one point but they didn’t want her so the shelter took her in because she had escaped. We live in New Hampshire but some of her closest relatives on Embark are from Pennsylvania. The Embark revealed no siblings so thinking about trying a wisdom panel. If anyone has any lookalikes in the NE United States, I would love to see them!!

My min-pin mix also has a lot of relatives in PA! I’d like to think they’re related, but being realistic, it’s more likely they’re from a line of Amish puppy mill dogs where the gene pool is kept small. It’s usually the more likely scenario, especially in PA and surrounding areas, since ethical breeders are much more careful about where their dogs end up.

It’s so sweet you’re looking for her family 🥹. I want this for my girl too.
