I am rapidly approaching my 1 year anniversary (less than 30 days away) at the shelter!!

Hello, I'm Gemma! I'm young and full of life, between 18mths to 2yrs, spayed female. I can figure out puzzles and games in no time. I can be a bit goofy, but that's part of my charm. I take a bit to warm up, but have come so far over the last year. I am most comfortable with woman, it may take a few times for me to be comfortable with you, but once I am you will see why the shelter team loves me so much. I am the goofiest of goofy dogs, I am incredibly smart, I love to run our field and love toys, I am also protective, of my beloved humans, I listen well, and my recall is nearly 99%, I don't require a dog buddy, because you are my buddy. I would prefer a home with a large yard or acreage so I have something to do. The shelter team has spent months helping me past my trauma and they just want you to see what they see, can you be that person, can you give me love and patience?
