Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Gem the 4yr Shepherd/Husky!
Gem has had a terrible past involving horrific abuse. She came into our care completely unresponsive, starved almost to death at 25lbs and unable to walk, stand or even lift her head. She had a lengthy stay at the emergency vet and required blood transfusions, tube feeding and months of rehabilitation following. Despite her terrible past, she is still a very happy, playful and sweet girl. She can't wait to find her happily ever after!
Gem adores meeting new doggy friends and does great with pups of all shapes and sizes. She has had limited interactions with cats, however with proper introductions we think she would do well. At times, she can struggle with meeting new people, but with some treats she becomes everyone’s friend.
Due to her past, she is working through a lot of trauma and learning how to be a dog again. She is looking for an experienced and patient family who is willing to continue building her confidence and working on gaining her manners back.
Gem has made huge strides in her rehabilitation from abuse. She is now house trained and hasn’t had an accident in several months. We do suggest that she is taken out frequently to keep her on the right track. She can struggle with separation anxiety at times and tends to bark when she can’t be a part of what’s going on. Due to this, we do not feel like she would be a great candidate for apartment living.
Lastly, she still has a weakness for food. She must be watched closely if her dog treats are easily accessible (or human food is left unattended). With this being said, she is crate trained and does best when crated during these instances or when unattended. On the flip side, being so treat motivated has been helping in her rehabilitation!
Despite all of the things she is working on relearning, Gem has a heart of gold! She is such a loyal, resilient and energetic gal. She would love to join an energetic family who can show her the love and understanding she deserves.
Gem is up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. She is house trained, crate trained, knows her basic commands and listens very well.
Does Gem sound like a good fit for your family? Reach out for an adoption application!
