About Gem

Meet Gem! This sweet and curious girl weighs 8 lbs and hails from a background where she lived among 60 other Shih Tzus in a hoarding situation. Though she’s a bit shy, she prefers to sit back and observe the world around her. Gem enjoys lounging on the patio with her sisters and sleeps soundly through the night. She seems to be potty trained and uses the dog door effectively. Currently, she shares her foster home with a cat and leaves it alone. Gem came to the rescue severely matted, so she’ll need regular grooming to keep her comfortable. Please share your grooming plans or experience in your application; it's vital for her future well-being. Available for adoption within an hour of Boise, her adoption fee includes spaying, a microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
