About Gem

Meet Gem! This sweet 18-month-old mixed-breed pup is truly a gem. Gem can be a bit shy around men at first, but she quickly warms up with positive interactions. In her previous home, she thrived with kids and got along well with other dogs. However, she tends to chase cats, so she’s looking for a cat-free environment. Her previous owner noted that she can guard her food around other dogs, likely due to past food insecurities. At the shelter, she accepts treats and food gently, showing progress in her behavior. Ideally, she would like some space while eating—honestly, who can blame her? If you’re searching for a sweet companion to add to your family, come meet Gem! She’s ready for a loving home where she can feel safe and settled in. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
