At the tender age of 7 or 8 weeks old this precious baby was tied to a mailbox by heartless human. Fortunately, a kind lady saw what happened and dashed over to rescue her. The rescuer already had three dogs and couldn't keep the puppy, so she took her to the Humane Society. We had lost our precious 5 year old girl, Bindi, to cancer just 6 months prior. My husband and I had visited several shelters in search of a special soul who really needed us. The manager of the Humane Society called my husband, saying a stray had been brought in a few days before and because they have to hold and vet check for a certain period of time, she wanted us to have first dibs on the puppy. She sent my hubby a photo, he sent it to me, and I said, "I don't care, just go get her." That was March of 2016. Gemma was that special soul who really needed us. She transformed from a mange-covered, broken-claws baby to a beautiful, well behaved, incredibly smart and very funny angel who sticks with me wherever I go. This is her with her brother, Brody, now 9 years old.
