About Gemma

Meet Gemma, the sweetest 5-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix you'll ever come across. Gemma has a heart full of love and enjoys cozying up on the couch while watching Netflix. She’s also eager to go for walks and explore the yard, striking a balance between being a couch potato and an adventurer. Coming home to her cuddling her toys is simply adorable. This loyal companion seeks a forever home where she can enjoy the love and attention she deserves. Although she might take a moment to warm up to new faces due to past experiences, once she trusts you, she becomes a loyal bundle of affection. Her foster family cherishes her goofy and playful personality and hopes to find a loving home that appreciates her fun side. Gemma is both crate-trained and potty-trained, and she behaves well enough to be left out of her crate when her humans aren't home. She prefers a home without children since their sudden movements can be intimidating for her. Gemma thrives on human companionship and gets along well with other dogs, but may show protective tendencies around new people. Fortunately, she’s easily redirected and is always ready to have your back. If you're in search of a loving and loyal companion, Gemma is the perfect match for you. Gemma is currently in Warren, RI, and is adoptable throughout New England. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
