Gemma - Golden Retriever and Miniature Poodle Dog for Adoption in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

**Meet Gemma: The Ultimate Stage 5 Clinger!**

A *Stage 5 Clinger* is someone who develops an intense attachment to another person and wants to be by their side every chance they get. Sound familiar? Then you need to meet Gemma!

**Introducing Gemma!**

Gemma is an adorable 4-year-old Mini Goldendoodle weighing in at just 12 pounds. She came to Zoe's House after being surrendered by a commercial breeder, and now she's ready to find the one thing she wants most in life: **her very own person to love!**

Gemma is a certified velcro pup who believes personal space is overrated. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, settling into bed, or going for a drive, she wants to be right there with you. She's searching for a forever home where her people appreciate a little extra love, lots of cuddles, and a furry shadow following them from room to room.

** Gemma's Dream Home**

The perfect home for Gemma would include:

- **Someone who's home most of the time.** A work-from-home human or a retiree would be ideal. Gemma thrives on companionship and wants to spend as much time with her people as possible.
- **A walking buddy.** She walks nicely on a leash right by your side. No fenced-in yard required!
- **An adults-only home.** Gemma gets along with children, but she'd prefer not to compete with little ones for your attention.
- **A lap, couch, and bed-sharing policy.** If you're looking for a dog who keeps to herself, Gemma isn't your girl! She wants to be close, cozy, and included in all the snuggles.
- **A copilot for life's adventures.** Gemma travels well in the car and would love to tag along whenever possible.

**A Few More Things to Know About Gemma**

Gemma gets along well with other small dogs, but we believe she would truly thrive as your one-and-only pup, soaking up all the love and attention for herself. She can be nervous around larger dogs.

She is potty trained, although adopters should remember that accidents or regression can happen as she adjusts to a new home and routine.

Crates aren't Gemma's favorite thing, and she may cry when left alone in one. However, for her safety, she should be crated when her family needs to leave the house.

**The Important Details**

Gemma is currently being fostered in Blandon, PA. Selected applicants may need to travel there for a meet-and-greet before adoption.

She has been spayed, is up to date on her vaccinations, and has had her teeth professionally cleaned. She's ready to start her next chapter!

**Could you be Gemma's happily-ever-after?**

If you're looking for a little shadow, a loyal companion, and a cuddle buddy who thinks you're the best thing in the world, Gemma might just be your perfect match!
