My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.



MEET GEMMA:



Gemma is a 4-year-old, 11lb short hair Chihuahua with a story of resilience. Gemma was rescued from a hoarding situation where she lived with over 50 Chihuahuas in the home of an 84-year-old woman. As a result, Gemma is shy and has experienced a significant amount of change in her life. She is still getting familiar with car rides, she gets a upset tummy when riding in cars.



Gemma is a sweet and loving girl. She has come a long way from her initial timid demeanor. She is looking for a mature home without the energy of young children. Additionally, Gemma will require a physical fenced yard as she currently has no leash manners. She has learned a routine for potty breaks, which is very different from her initial home where she was never allowed to go outside; she now enjoys exploring and sunbathing.



 It is important to note that Gemma will need a patient family who can give her time to decompress from her past experiences. This resilient pup will thrive with understanding owners who can empathize with the struggles she has faced. Gemma is still adjusting to her new life but she is starting to enjoy playing with toys.  Gemma is motivated by small pieces of chicken used for treats. She enjoys relaxing on the couch with her foster family and sleeping in bed under the blankets real close to her people. 



Gemma's journey has been tough, but she is ready to start a new chapter in her life with a family who can give her the love and support she deserves. It may take a moment for Gemma to warm up, but with patience and understanding, she will make a loyal and devoted companion. In her foster home she has become confident to follow her foster around the house.



If you have a quiet and understanding home, and are willing to provide Gemma with the time she needs, she will repay you with unwavering love and devotion.



Gemma is:
Current on Rabies and Distemper
Dewormed
Heartworm Tested: Negative
Receiving Heartworm and Flea Prevention
Microchipped
Spayed
