Story
Meet our sweet and laid-back girl, ❤️GEMMA❤️🐾!
GEMMA is currently stuck in the kill shelter system in Arkansas, and is catching a ride with Mutt Life Dog Rescue to Cedarburg, Wisconsin on Saturday, March 15th (3/15/25). She was lucky enough to make it into a foster home while she waits for her ride up!
Gemma is a super sweet, easygoing dog with a calm demeanor – she’s more “woah” than “go” and is on the lower end of the energy scale. She gets along with everyone she meets, making her an ideal companion for a family or someone who doesn’t want to deal with all the puppy chaos. She’s already house-trained, crate-trained, and fantastic on a leash. In fact, she’s even off-leash with her current foster! She gets along with other dogs great and is fine with cats. She is also kid friendly!
Gemma is the perfect "already-made" dog, ready to jump right into a loving home without all the typical puppy behavior. She has a foster, but is still looking for an ADOPTER! Can you help this sweet girl get out of the shelter and into a loving family?

2.)Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
3.)Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5 day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure its the right fit.
4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.
**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
