Gemma (Royal)!

Updated 10JAN25

Up for pre-adoption or foster to adopt.

**Meet Gemma (formerly Royal)**

**Breed:** Unknown (but definitely a mix of sass and sweetness)
**Weight:** 35 lbs of pure charm
**Age:** Under 1 year old (young enough to still think she’s a puppy!)
**Status:** Available for adoption (serious inquiries only—no royal pretenders allowed!)

**Background**
Gemma was picked up as a stray and was said to be shut down. Team Memphis Rescue (TMRS) went to visit another dog and discovered that MAS had pulled her card for euthanization. After a quick intervention, they sat on the ground for a few minutes, and when we took her out, we realized the shelter had it all wrong—Gemma was ready to shine! She took off playing and having the time of her life. So we just took her right out the front door to start her new chapter.

**Personality**
Now, Gemma is officially your shadow! This little lady is dog-friendly and playful, but don’t be surprised if she plays hard to get with new people—she’s shy at first, but once she warms up, prepare for some serious cuddle time. Gemma has a refined palate and insists on soft treats over hard ones; she’s basically a canine connoisseur!

Her favorite pastime? Lounging on blankets like royalty—because why sit on the floor when you can live like a queen? She appears to be potty trained and has mastered the art of staying in her crate like a pro. Plus, she’s smart—she might just outsmart you during playtime!

**Keep Your Eyes Peeled!**
