My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gemma, a resilient soul surrendered by owners who couldn't see her beyond the confines of their expectations. Gemma's journey began in January 2019, and she found herself in new hands in December 2022, eager to start fresh.

Life has taught Gemma to be cautious around new faces, but she's on a path to rebuild trust with the right companions. Gemma, a double-coated Chihuahua mix, has a heart that melts for food, making it a tasty bridge to friendship.

She's up to date on vaccinations and microchipped, ensuring her safety. Her previous owners believed in a firmer approach, but Gemma is now embracing a gentler path towards learning and understanding.

Currently, Gemma is in the process of rehabilitation. Beneath her initial shyness, you'll find a sweet, joyful, fun-loving, curious, and intelligent companion. She's diligently working on boosting her self-assurance and overcoming her reservations about unfamiliar faces. With time and patience, Gemma is sure to flourish, proving that there's no "box" she can't break out of with the right support and love.
