Meet Gemma! This sweet girl has already done one of the most important jobs there is-raising her nine beautiful puppies. She came to us from a shelter in southern Illinois and lovingly cared for her babies until they were old enough to venture out on their own. Now that all of her puppies are ready for their forever homes, it's finally Mama's turn to be the one getting all the love and attention she deserves. Gemma is dog-friendly, housebroken, and great with kids. We aren't sure how she feels about cats just yet. She has a playful side and loves toys, especially chasing after a ball. Whether she's playing in the yard or relaxing with her family, she's happiest when she's spending time with her people. After dedicating herself to her puppies, Mama is ready to be spoiled in a loving home of her own. She's looking for a family that will give her the attention, affection, and companionship she's been waiting for. Could that be you?
