Her playful spirit shines through when she cuddles her favorite stuffed toys, making her an absolute joy to come home to. Gemma is loyal and looking for a forever home filled with love and attention.

Her foster family can't get enough of her goofy personality and is excited to help her find a safe space where she can truly relax. Being crate trained and potty trained, Gemma behaves well on her own when her humans are away. She does prefer to avoid homes with young children, as sudden movements can be unsettling for her.

Though she can be protective at times, she is easy to redirect and remains a devoted friend who has your back. If you're searching for a loving and loyal companion, Gemma is waiting to meet you.
