Gemma is an instant charmer with a sweet, gentle nature that makes her the perfect companion. She loves other dogs and adores people, quickly catching on to both potty and kennel training. At a compact 42 pounds, she’s a great medium-sized friend with a playful spirit that still holds a hint of puppy energy. One of Gemma’s most endearing traits is her love for toys. She enjoys collecting them from her basket and hiding them in her cozy dog bed—a delightful quirk showcasing her playful side. Speaking of beds, she has one essential requirement: a big, fluffy donut bed to curl up in. She thrives on companionship and loves following her foster mom around, soaking up all the affection.
