Darling Gem is truly a rare find. She is smart, gentle, playful, fiercely loving, and very nearly perfect.
Gem came into rescue from Missouri, pregnant, and very quickly bonded with her foster family and resident dogs. So much so that when she had her litter of Jewels she allowed and welcomed the resident female to help her raise the litter! She has extended this loving nature to every dog and human she has met.
Gem is potty trained, does well in a crate, though she doesn't need one, travels well, and is working on leash manners. She does have a significant prey drive, so squirrels are incredibly tempting to lunge at. While she has lived with cats, her forever home should be cat free for safety. She does have a voice that she uses to alert of threats, such as mail carriers and dogs passing by, though she is not a nuisance barker. Because she bonds so tightly to other dogs, she'll do best with another dog in the home, and either a yard to play in or lots of exercise to keep up with her athletic energy.
It's not all about play, though. Gem is a complete pro at snuggles, and is never happier than when she's in a pile with her pack, human or canine. She's eager to please, quick to learn, and brings a special joy wherever she goes. Gem has raised her Jewels and is now ready to shine in her own right. She's just looking for the perfect setting.

Most of our adoptable dogs were previously stray dogs with little history, we can’t be 100% sure of a dog’s breed mix, and unless there is a specific date of birth listed, we can’t be 100% sure of a dog’s age. Additionally, our assessments of a dog's interactions with other dogs, cats, or children are based on OUR experiences. Your experience may differ. ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES: ~ Healing Hearts rescue will also provide dental procedures, bloodwork, surgeries, and/or any other additional vet work as needed while dogs are in our care. ~ Adoption fees are non-negotiable and fees are listed on the dog's profile ~ Adoption fees can be paid the following ways with the required sales tax added: WANT TO HELP SAVE MORE DOGS?
