Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Gemma! She is about 4 months old, and weighs just over 10 pounds. She looks like a wire-haired terrier mix, (with maybe some Schnauzer tossed in) but that is just a guess. We do know Gemma is a well socialized, easy-going, affectionate pup who likes attention. Her first foster home has young children, and she did very well with them. She is reportedly on her way to being potty-trained, and slept quietly through the night in her crate. Gemma is fine with other dogs, and like most puppies, wants to play! She would be very happy in a home with another young or playful dog.
We think she will grow to be a medium-size adult (30-40 lbs.) but cannot make any guarantees. So only those willing to take pot-luck in terms of what breed or size she grows into should apply! As with any puppy, she will need steady supervision to attend to her potty training, obedience training, general socialization and exercise. Therefore, she needs a home with a stay-at-home person who will be available to meet her needs.
You can meet Gemma at her current foster home, Wilmette Pet Center, 625 Green Bay Rd. (847-251-6750, wilmettepetcenter.com). Although you will want to take her home on the spot, since she truly is a gem, please know you will have to submit an application for adoption.
Gemma's adoption fee of $325 includes vet exam, distemper combo vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, flea/tick preventative, heartworm preventative, routine deworming, microchip and spay.
