Gemma Bean - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Homewood, Illinois

Meet Gemma Bean

Gemma is an energetic 6 month old young Shepherd mix who loves hard! Car rides, meeting new people, playing with toys, and being close to her person are some of her favorite things. She’s looking for a best friend who enjoys an active life and wants a devoted companion along for the adventure.

Gemma enjoys compatible dogs who respect her space. Because of her strong prey drive, she needs a home without cats, small dogs, or small puppies. A home without young children would be the best fit.

This girl needs plenty of companionship, exercise, and consistent training to help her polish her manners. She struggles with being apart from her person and with crating, so someone who is home often and can patiently work on those skills would be ideal.

She is spayed and vaccinated.

If your lifestyle has room for an enthusiastic sidekick, plenty of playtime, and a commitment to helping a young dog learn, Gemma could be your girl!
