About Gemma

Meet Gemma! This beautiful long-haired German Shepherd mix is around 3 years old and weighs about 60 pounds. Gemma is goofy, sweet, and has a gentle disposition. She adores people and seeks a deep connection with her human. Crate and potty trained, she knows basic commands and is eager to learn more, although she could use some leash training during walks. Gemma is currently living with both male and female dogs, and we believe she would thrive best in a home with a dominant male dog. Her journey has not always been smooth; adopted as a puppy and then rehomed as she grew up, Gemma now seeks her forever home where she can truly be loved and cherished. A fantastic family dog or sidekick for an individual, she loves car rides and is a cuddle bug at heart. Gemma reads the room well, knowing when it’s time to chill and when it's time to play. Consistency, structure, and heaps of love will help her flourish. If you think Gemma could be your perfect match, please copy and paste her application link to set up a meet and greet!
