My story

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

"Gemma, or Gem as we lovingly call her, is a survivor with the sweetest heart. At 5 years old, this little Chihuahua was found in a tire in a landfill caring for her 4 puppies. She found her way to Colorado where she has been learning that the good life is full of cozy blankets, friendly pets, and people who treat her with only kindness.

When you’re away, she is perfectly content relaxing in her dog pen or on the couch. When you’re home, you can expect lots of snuggles with her dog friends and trusted humans, fun spurts of play with dogs and toys, and the sweetest little kisses you’ll ever receive.

Gemma is a very shy girl who is still learning that she’s safe. Sudden movements or being approached too quickly can spook her, but each small moment of trust is a victory, and watching her bloom is pure magic. Once she starts to feel safe, she will greet you with wiggles and tail wags and demand chin scratches.

The ideal environment for Gemma is a calm home without children and with at least 1 confident dog to help show her the ropes. She will also need a fenced yard to keep her safe, and a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time.

Gemma’s personality is still unfolding, but one thing is certain: with love and patience, this sweet little Gem will sparkle."

Gemma is being fostered in Loveland, Colorado.
