Gemma is part of our Reduced Rover Program. Her adoption fee is $100 and includes a one-on-one training session for Gemma and her adopter.

Meet Mama Gemma! You have seen her story… that poor Mama dog, due any day and stuck in an overcrowded shelter. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owner when she accidently got out and the neighbor intentionally got her pregnant with their dog. She was days from being euthanized.

How her cards have changed! This beautiful Mama pulled on so many heart strings and was pulled by a wonderful rescue. She knew she was safe and automatically got comfortable in her foster Mama's home. Soon after she gave birth to a handful of beautiful babies! She was an amazing mommy to her puppies, it’s evident that before rescue she had countless litters of practice. Thankfully this was the final one for her, it’s her turn to get all the attention from here on out.

Gemma is now ready for her forever home! She is about 7-8 years old but don’t let her age fool you. This gal still has a lot of pep in her step! Gemma loves going on hunts in the yard for lizards and especially loves going for walks. She does great on a leash, but beware of the kittys. She's a little too interested in them, so it's best to keep your distance. Gemma would love to find a calm, peaceful loving place to call her furever home. Gemma is dog friendly and does love to play and then relax with her friends. She is goofy and knows she is Miss Popular, and she loves it! Gemma becomes your friend quickly with some treats and affection.

Gemma has gone through her heartworm treatment and completed it successfully. She’s now spayed as well!
