About Gemma

Gemma is a delightful companion who thrives on human interaction. She's filled with love and joy, always ready to greet new friends with a wagging tail. While she’s great with older kids, young ones might get knocked over in her excitement. She enjoys short, easy walks—1-2 each day or time to roam and explore in the yard. After some playtime, she’s perfectly content to relax by your side. She came to Animal Services with some eye issues, but her resilience shines through. Now fully on the mend, she only requires a bit of eye ointment for the next few weeks. Gemma prefers to be the only dog in her home, as she likes to soak up all the love. She can be selective with other dogs, so she’ll need a gradual introduction if you have one already. Gemma does not get along with cats—they're just too tempting! Ready to bring this affectionate girl home? She's waiting for you!
