Jemma is no longer accepting applications!

Jemma is a sweet and loving girl who is learning how to take on the world! Born around December 2025, she was found alongside her mom, and her siblings in Little River Canyon National Park in Alabama. She weighs just over 25 lbs.<br/><br/>Once she's assured there's nothing to worry about, she's all exuberant puppy! She loves rough-and-tumble play and then melts into a cuddle puddle when she's done. No matter how frenzied things get, she'll always calm right down for a belly scratch. She mostly wants to be close to her people during the day and is pretty chill, except when she's feeling mischievous or needs to zoom.<br/><br/>Jemma is smart and highly trainable, already responding well to positive reinforcement and basic commands like sit and come. She's about 80% house trained, she understands she's supposed to go outside, and her foster family has learned to watch for her cues. She has also proven capable of sleeping comfortably through the night in her crate, though she does best when she can be in the same room as her people. Crate training during the day is going well too. She loves her walks and is learning to love the leash!<br/><br/>Her confidence is growing in leaps and bounds- she meets plenty of dogs and people every day and is always eager to say hello. She goes from hesitant follower to curious leader surprisingly fast once she knows she's safe. She does have a few fear triggers (trash cans, certain doors, and some noises), but these seem less like long-term temperamental issues and more like a lack of experience with the world, something a little time and patience will sort out!<br/><br/>With a patient family willing to offer gentle guidance and another canine friend to show her the ropes, Jemma will absolutely blossom into an incredible companion!<br/><br/>YOUR ADOPTION FEE COVERS: Transport to Maine, age specific vaccinations, Health certificate, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm/lyme/ehrlichia test, worming & martingale collar.<br/><br/>Adoption fees:<br/>Through 6 months of age $450;<br/>7 months to through 5 years $400;<br/>6 years and under 9 years $325: bonded pairs are $500;<br/>9 years and older $250: bonded pairs are $300<br/><br/>This dog is available unless it is marked as Pending, meaning Pending Adoption.
