Gemma

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped.

* If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, for an application.

Our adoption fees vary.

Each biography will specifically list the adoption dog will be at a meet and greet event on Saturday, February 24th unless he/she is adopted prior to the event with a set up home.

The event is from 12 pm to 3 pm at Palo Alto's Pet Food Express.

Those interested in meeting the dog can come out to our meet and greet event.

We no longer do application approval onsite.

Anyone adopting has been previously approved and set up to meet prior to the event.

Adoption Fee: $500
Gemma is a 4 year old Yorkie x Chihuahua mix who was rescued from one of our shelter partners.

This petite gal may have had a rough start to her life that we wish we could ask her about, but she is eager to get started on the new life we promised her! Gemma has a lovely coat that is lighter shed, so she may be an option for those with either lighter allergies, or who just want less hair around the house!
Below is a note from her foster.

"Gemma is the sweetest goofball in the entire world! If she could spend her entire day cuddled up next to you in a pile of blankets, she would (and she does now)! Gemma's adorable mohawk goes from the top of her head to the tip of her tail, and has a foot that is in a constant "plie" ballet position".

She loves to show off her bunny hops when she is excited, which delights everyone who meets her.

She is well loved by everyone in the neighborhood and by all the volunteers at DPS.

She adores her fluffy blankets and happily burrows into them throughout the day.

She is so loving and absolutely adores her people, she could truly not be a sweeter and lovely dog.

Gemma wakes up at around 7 AM.

She gets three walks a day: 8:30 AM, 4 PM, and 9 PM.

She eats at 9 AM and 6 PM.

During the day she hangs out in the house with our dog and gets her tan on.

Gemma is a lounger but she still shows off her playful side! She gets along with our 15 month old Jack Russel mix and we sometimes spot them play wrestling which is very cute.

She also gets along with our other foster, a nursing mom and her puppies.

She does very well on walks and loves going outside.

Gemma is fully housetrained.

She is the perfect "go with the flow" dog.

She is happy to go on an adventure but is also happy to chill for a movie night.

She is also absolutely adorable to boot."
Gemma is an option for just about any kind of home, regardless of prior dog experience.

Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.
