Gemma Pit Bull Terrier Grand Rapids, MI

Meet Gemma!
Female grey and white pitty mix
Estimated DOB 03/2021

Gemma was pulled from a county shelter where she was struggling in such a busy environment.

She will need an experienced adopter who is willing to continue the work being done with her foster. She has some separation anxiety, we believe from being abandoned at some point in her life. She's a STAGE FIVE clinger.

She would not do well in a home with cats.

We are unsure about dogs as we are taking it very slowly. She is not reactive to the bigger foster dog in her home but definitely reactive to the smaller dog through the door.

She loves going for car rides but has this weird quirk where she likes to have her window down and she bites at the air blowing past.

She loves to sleep under the covers and she does this most gentle paw at you to let you know that she needs you to lift up the blanket to let her in.

While she does have separation anxiety, she doesn't destroy anything other than to sometimes tip over the food and water dishes. She does bark at thunder.

Location: Gemma is currently in a foster home.

Medical: All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on age approriate vaccines (rabies, distemper, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella), microchipped, negative heartworm tested, given flea/tick/heartworm prevention and dewormer, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption.
