Meet Gemma
Look at those eyes!
Gemma came from a shelter where they were "cleaning house" so not much is known of her past. It was discovered shortly after she came to MARS that she was pregnant. She gave birth to her pups, some with one blue eye, and she was a great mom.. All her puppies have found homes and now Gemma is looking for a family to call her own.
She is the all around perfect dog.. Crate trained, house trained, quiet, playful, loves everyone with two and four legs. She's very smart, will automatically sit for a treat, and is extremely food motivated so training will be a breeze. She loves her toys and will fetch any and all of them you are willing to throw for her. She will follow you everywhere you go and will soak up any and all attention, she'll even ambush kiss you when you're not looking. She does jump up on you, even though she is quite small it's something to note if she is going to be around small children. She loves walks even though her leash skills are somewhat lacking, she would make a great running partner.
She is not your typical beagle, her nose doesn't seem to guide her through life and she has very good recall. In her new home she would love another dog to play with, or some children to run around with, or someone who will take her for walks and even a run. She would fit pretty easily in just about any family.
Do you have room in your home and heart for sweet Gemma? Please click on the ADOPT button below to fill out an online application. *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.
*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
