Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Gemma, or as my foster family likes to call me, Gemma Dean String Bean.
As soon as I got out to the country in wide open spaces and met my fur foster siblings (dogs), my personality really started to bloom and shine. I am shy with fur siblings at first but once I warm up to them you can’t get me to stop playing.
I have endless energy. I would be best in a forever home that has a fur sibling for me to play and snuggle with.
While I warm up to other dogs right away, I take a little longer with humans but don’t worry, I do warm up pretty fast and then you won’t be able to get me to stop wanting to play and snuggle with you, too.
In this hot Texas summer I love to play in the water but be sure to let me go potty before I go inside because I’m still learning that I should only potty outside. I haven’t figured out how to play fetch yet but I love a good chew toy and so far, I am very good at chewing!! )I am food motivated with obedience training.
Finally, my foster family has some turkeys that I haven’t shown I care about but I do slightly lose my mind when I see Bambi (as in a REAL DEER!!)
I would love to meet you and show you that I am the missing puzzle piece for your family. I can’t wait to hear from you! BUT HURRY!1 I am a GEMma and am ready!!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
