GEMs's Story

Meet Glitter Enchanted Maddy—GEMs!<br/>GEMs is a gorgeous 5-month-old puppy who arrived in New England just a couple of weeks ago. After spending some time settling into foster care and learning the routines of family life, she is now officially available and ready to begin meeting potential adopters!<br/>Although both of her siblings have already found their forever homes, GEMs has not been waiting here for months. Her search in New England is only just beginning, and she is excited to find the family who will help her continue blossoming.<br/>GEMs is a striking black-and-white puppy with oversized ears, expressive eyes, and an adorable little freckle on her nose. She can initially be shy around unfamiliar people or in new environments, but she remains curious and will often greet people slowly with a wagging tail. She simply needs a little time and gentle encouragement before showing her full personality.<br/>Once she feels comfortable, GEMs is playful, affectionate, and wonderfully silly. She loves following her people around the house, cuddling on the couch, receiving attention, and being included in whatever her family is doing.<br/>She is also incredibly bouncy! GEMs hops, skips, and leaps after balls, jumps between couches, and loves pouncing into playtime with her foster sibling. Her favorite activities include chasing toys, chewing bones, playing with other dogs, going for long walks, and exploring places such as the beach.<br/>GEMs is extremely food motivated and is currently learning basic commands, including sit, down, and come. She does well with potty training when kept on a consistent schedule and has few to no accidents.<br/>She enjoys sleeping in her crate overnight and generally settles comfortably. She is still working on feeling secure when left alone and may initially vocalize before settling. She does especially well when another dog is nearby, so her future family should be prepared to continue building her confidence and independence gradually.<br/>GEMs enjoys playing with other dogs. She can occasionally become uncomfortable if another dog approaches her food or a high-value bone, so meals and special chews should be given separately while her family continues positive training. She has not displayed this behavior toward people or around regular toys.<br/>GEMs is curious and may try to chase small animals or other exciting things outdoors. Her family will need to use secure leash handling, carefully manage doors and gates, and keep her supervised outside while continuing recall training.<br/>This sweet girl would thrive with a patient and active family willing to continue her puppy training, confidence building, socialization, and daily exercise. Obedience classes would be a wonderful way to help her become the confident and well-mannered dog she is capable of being.<br/>She may enjoy living with a playful, compatible dog who can provide companionship, but she could also be successful as an only dog with a family committed to giving her plenty of attention and activity.<br/>GEMs has only recently arrived in New England and is now ready for meet-and-greets. If you are looking for an affectionate, playful, athletic, and delightfully goofy companion, GEMs may be your perfect match.

Safe With Us Animal Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Thank you for taking the time to consider adopting one of our dogs! Our process for adopting one of our dogs starts with filling out our adoption application. Please take time doing this because it gives us a better understanding of who you are and what type of dog may fit your family. Once your adoption application is completed, our adoption coordinator will reach out to you. Please understand that we are an all-volunteer rescue, so it may take up to 72 hours for you to receive a response. We will get back to you, we promise! Once you hear from our adoption coordinator, you can expect to schedule a home visit. This is a mandatory part of our process, but only takes about a half hour of your time. During this time, we will discuss ways to welcome your new family member into your home and review improvements that may help make the transition an easy one. Please note that completing the application and home visit process, does not mean that you are obligated to adopt with us. It just means that you are working through the process to be approved for a new family member. If we do not have a furry friend that interests you right now, don’t worry! Unless there are changes with your family and/or home, this process will not have to be repeated. ***Please note, at this time our dogs may only be adopted by Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut residents.
