History: Gem is a super beautiful girl who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with her smile and happy personality. She has her paws crossed to find her forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: We would like to introduce you to a real Gem of a Gem! My name is Gem and I’m 100% adorable poodle. I started my life likely having lots of puppies and not nearly enough love. I am now ready to begin the rest of my life getting all the attention and affection.

I have really enjoyed having a foster buddy in my foster home so I’m not sure how I would do being an only dog. If you were home with me everyday I would do ok but if you leave the house for work, it would be best for me to have another dog to cuddle and pal around with. I am a good eater and unlike they tend to say about poodles, I’m not a picky eater! I love to run zoomies outside and enjoy exploring my fosters fenced yard. Walking on a leash is a work in progress but I know I can be successful and I have the energy for a good walk.

Potty training is going well. If I just can’t wait and have to go potty before I can be let out, I’m very good about using the piddle pad by the door. When the day is done, I enjoy sitting by my foster Mom and other dogs on the couch to watch TV. Being in a kennel is not so much for me at home. I prefer to cuddle into bed with my humans and other fur friends. I have been successful in riding in the kennel in the car to the vet and the groomer. Speaking of grooming, I’ve had my first groom and the groomer said I did fantastic!

I would love to find my forever home where I can continue to grow and learn how special I am.

Adoption Fee: $550 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
