My story

　　My name is Gemma; and I'm a female bull terrier mix who has already been spayed.  I am about 7 months old.   I only weigh 45 pounds; and I probably won't get much bigger.  I might get a little heavier; I do love to eat!  I have a really soft caramel brindle coat and the most beautiful eyes to match.  I'm very smart.  I taught myself to sit on command.  You should've seen my foster mom's face.  I like to go on walks; I'm pretty good on a leash.  I am extremely active and playful so I would need a nice, fenced yard where I can safely play.  My foster mom says I have sensitive ears because loud noises, like cars, scare me.  But I'm getting better about it.  I just need some time to adjust to the real world outside of the shelter. Until I was fostered, I'd lived my whole life in the shelter.  My foster mom says I need to be socialized, but I think I'm pretty social already.  I am learning a lot from my foster siblings about just being a dog.  I make my foster mom very happy when I go to the bathroom outside; she's not very happy with me when I don't, but I don't like to go outside by myself.  I'm good about sleeping in my crate at bedtime, but I sure wouldn't mind if you wanted me to snuggle with you at night.  I am good with other dogs and older children.  Due to my activity level it would be best if I were not in a home with younger, smaller children.  I'm ready for my forever home.   Dog/puppy adoption fees are $75 and cat/kitten adoption fees are $35 (as long as funds are available). Our adoption fees cover a microchip, microchip registration, discounted spay/neuter certificate, deworming, vaccinations (as age and law requires), and a courtesy vet exam at participating offices. Unless otherwise indicated under 'special needs' our dogs have screened heart worm negative.  November 21, 2022, 2:08 pm
