Gemma needs a foster carer
About Gemma
🐕Meet Gemma!🐕
🐾 Gemma is a not so typical Cattle Dog x Kelpie, she goes for a play and runs until she stops, a snooze and she is seeking some snuggles. She is not as outgoing as most but will get confident over time with the encouragement of her family. Gemma is well socialized with dogs ranging in sizes and breeds but she is a little timid so slow introductions and gentle dogs for friends are preferred. Gemma is just wonderful with children and other dogs and would love a home with both. She gets loads of love from her foster family and a great healthy diet - all the makings of a great ldoggo who is very snuggle worthy.
🎓 It is essential that Gemma continues to be well socialised with dogs of all varieties to ensure she continues to build on her doggy manners. As she is just a young dog, her family will have to ensure they take her to training so she grows up with solid boundaries and continues to learn all the good dog manners she can. All of her basic training is well in place with her house, walking and general behaviour.
🏠 The perfect home for a cattle dog x kelpie is with a family who is experienced with working breed dogs. They are energetic, smart and a hand full at times. In saying that, Gemma is not really a a crazy girl, she just loves her walks, a good play and a snuggly snooze. She is also loyal, will do anything for you and is the best of companions.
Gemma has a range of adoption families that would suit her: a family full of children above the age of 7 who will help her thrive with all of their energy and interaction; a home on a hobby farm who want a dog they can train to help out a little and love a lot; an active individual or couple who have the time to train her and shape her into their perfect companion.
This angel of a family dog is full of joy and love and will bring a great deal of happiness to her family for many years, with just a bit of sass for luck.
Love & licks!
Gemma 🐕🐾❤️
