0456 Gem AKA Gemma Australian Shepherd Bloomington, IL

GEMMA IS BEING FOSTERED IN BLOOMINGTON IL

Meet our precious girl, Gemma, who has MASTERED her puppy dog stare! Sweet Gemmy NEEDS a hero. She is a gorgeous black tri female that was found in a stray. She is approximately 2 years old an is playful with other dogs.

Gemma is a goofy girl, that has a high prey drive, so no kitties, bunnies or other small pets is required for her. However, what she does make up that with providing you with BOUNDLESS cuddles. She wants nothing more than to spend her time being as close as she can be with her person. Gemma weighs around 45 lbs, and she is a typical aussie who is active and playful.

While she loves a good evening of chilling at home, she equally loves running around the house showing off all her stuffies and squeaky toys! Gemma is a bit cautious around new people and places, but her foster home has done some nice training work with her in exposing her to new people and new things, providing her with some positive experiences. She is responding very well to the training and would love to have an adoptive home of her own that would continue this training for her. She has made TREMENDOUS progress in her foster home, meeting new people, hearing new sounds and experiencing all the world has to offer. She would do best in a home that is on the quiet side and does not have a lot of visitors.

Gemma is potty trained and crate trained and even puts herself in her kennel at night. She does have excellent house manners and can be left out without any mischief. Gemma loves toys and bones and shares nicely with her foster brotherr. Fetch and chase are two of her favorite games to play. Gemma is still learning to enjoy car rides so more positive experiences (pup cups) would be highly recommended.

Gemma is spayed and up-to-date on all shots and preventatives
