Meet adoptable deaf dog Gemma who is looking for a loving forever home.
Update 2/16/25: Gemma is still available for adoption.
From her advocate: Meet Gemma – The Perfect Mix of Spunky & Sweet! Hi there! I’m Gemma, a middle-aged, goofy pup with just the right balance of energy and relaxation. Not to brag, but I’m pretty much the total package for anyone looking to add a loving new member to their family! Life in a warm home is my absolute favorite—snuggling with my people, playing with friends, lounging on comfy couches, and, of course, enjoying delicious treats. I’m fully potty-trained and crate-trained with no issues, and I always let my people know when I need to go outside. One special thing about me? I’m deaf! But don’t worry—I’m super attentive to my people and watch them closely to understand what’s going on. In fact, I am learning obedience hand signals. My favorite toy is a tennis ball, and I love chasing it, bringing it back, and sometimes playing a fun game of keep-away. I love playing! I’m incredibly sweet and love everyone I meet. Cuddling is one of my favorite pastimes, and I’ll happily snuggle with you. Right now, I live with a family that has young adult children and two senior dogs. While they aren’t always up for playing, I don’t mind—I keep myself entertained, play with my people, or just relax and watch the world go by. We do enjoy our walks together and live peacefully as a pack. When I meet dogs in public, I can get a little overstimulated (pulling, barking, whining), so I do best with slow introductions to new animals. My foster family was told that I’ve also lived with cats and kids in the past, and I was a very good girl with everyone. Now, I’m searching for my forever family—could that be you?
From her rescue advocate 12/30/24: I am a middle-aged, goofy pup with the perfect combo of spunk and chill in me. I don’t want to sound too full of myself, but I am really the entire package for anyone looking to add a new member to their family. I absolutely love life in a warm home with people who love me, friends to play with, couches and beds to sleep on, and yummy treats to fill up my belly! I am fully potty trained and crate-trained with no issues, I let my people know when I need to go outside.
I am very attentive to my people and watch them closely, which I’m told is really good because I am deaf and can’t hear them! My favorite toy is the tennis ball. I like to chase it and bring it back to do it all over again. I am very sweet and like everyone I have met so far. Right now I live with a family with young adult children and 2 other old lady dogs.
Sometimes I try to play with the other dogs here, but they aren’t much into playing. We do enjoy going on walks together though. I especially enjoy my cuddle session with anyone in the family who will let me get as close as I can to them. My foster family was told that I have also lived with cats and kids in the past, and I was such a good girl with everyone. I’m looking for my forever family, could that be with you?
