Dogs for adoption

Gemma

·         Female

·         Staffy cross

·         Approximately 1 year old

·         Gemma is a sweet, affectionate girl who’s absolutely bursting with love. Her favourite thing in the world? You! She’ll shower you with kisses, snuggle up close, and soak up every bit of attention you give her. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’ll be your shadow and best friend, Gemma is your girl.

·         She’s full of energy and would thrive in an active home where she can enjoy plenty of exercise and outdoor adventures. Whether it’s beach walks, bush hikes, or backyard playtime, Gemma is always ready to go!

·         Gemma can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly and shows her loving nature. She hasn’t had much experience around other dogs and hasn’t quite figured out how to play with them just yet. She’s more unsure than anything, but with time, patience, and positive experiences, we believe she’ll gain confidence and learn to enjoy canine company.

·         This lovely girl has so much love to give and is itching to find her forever home. If you’re ready for endless affection, tail wags, and a best friend for life, Gemma is waiting for you.

·         Gemma is known to be good with cats.
