About Gemma

Meet Miss Gemma! This stunning long-haired German Shepherd mix is around 3 years old and weighs about 60 pounds. She's goofy, sweet, and gentle, a rare find who truly loves people. With her flowing coat and animated expressions, Gemma is a delightful companion. Gemma is crate trained, house trained, and knows basic commands. She enjoys walks, though she could benefit from some leash training. Quick to learn and very receptive to guidance, she seeks a deep bond with her human. While currently cohabiting with male and female dogs, she might thrive better in a home with a male-dominant dog. Gemma previously lived with cats and, with slow introductions, could likely adjust to living with them again. Gemma is great with everyone, from a 97-year-old grandparent to a 2-year-old sharing treats. She's a wonderful family dog and an adventurous spirit who loves car rides and being close to her people. A true cuddle bug, she knows when it's time to relax. Gemma needs a loving home that offers consistency and structure. If you think she might be the perfect fit for you, please fill out an adoption application to set up a meet and greet! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
