Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Jemma is an 11-month-old Rottweiler mix with a
heart full of love and 60 pounds of pure potential! She and her sister were found tied up outside a police station, so we don’t know much about their past—but we do know that Jemma is ready for a bright future in a loving home.
This sweet girl may be a little shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’ll melt right into your arms with affection. The world can feel a bit overwhelming for Jemma, but she’s brave and eager to learn. She’s smart and picks up on new teachings quickly—she just needs someone patient and kind to guide her!
Jemma absolutely adores other dogs and thrives in their company—playtime is her favorite! She’s energetic, fun-loving, and would do best in a home that understands her gentle nature and gives her time to settle in. Cats, however, are way too fun to chase, so a cat-free home would be best. Small kids can make her nervous but, she has slowly shown us at events to do well with kids of all ages.
If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and intelligent companion who just needs a little reassurance to shine, Jemma could be your perfect match!

The purpose of the deposit is to ensure the puppy will be altered before she/he reaches 6 months of age. This $100 deposit is refundable if adopter provides proof of sterilization within 14 days of the procedure. After the adoption is completed, all vetting (spay/neuter, boosters, heart worm and flea prevention) are the responsibility of the adopter. This deposit will not be returned if the animal is not spayed/ neutered within the established timeline.
