Meet Saint Anthony / Gemma

General Notes | Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.

Personality | This little cutie patootie is a sweet, affectionate little girl that loves to snuggle and give kisses. So far foster mom has noticed her ability to be independent in play and general day to day, but also loves to be near you also. She can be somewhat timid and shy at first, but warms up quickly. Although she is quite a bit smaller than her brother from the same litter, she can hold her own and give back as good as she gets.

Story | Gemma was surrendered, along with 10 other siblings from the same litter, to a shelter by a breeder after he became injured and no longer able to care for the puppies.

Other Dogs | Gemma is great with other dogs. She currently lives with her brother from the same litter, as well as two older foster sisters. Her older foster sisters are not big fans of puppies, but she approaches slowly and cautiously, and definitely leaves them alone if they are not up for play.

Cats | She has seen the foster's cat once or twice, but seemed completely uninterested so far.

Children | She's a puppy, so she probably does well with children, although foster does not have young children at home. She is young and in the chewing/biting/teething phase, so that is important to note.

Training | Working on potty training, but she's still very young, However she is a rock star in the crate at night. Her and her brother share a crate right now, and they go 4 hours at night without accidents!! Amazing for such a young age! She may whimper a very short amount when placed in the crate if she's not worn out or exhausted, but foster mom lays down next to the crate for a few minutes and she is happy with that, and falls asleep very fast!

Activity Level | Typical puppy....play hard for an hour or two, sleep for an hour or two. Seems to be content playing with toys and her brother, isn't into stuff she shouldn't be yet.

Health Notes | Healthy, happy puppy!

Thank you! |
