Thanks so much to everyone who has donated to Jemma's cause so far! We are almost there! Here's an update on Jemma from her fosterer. Jemma is still looking for a home too if you are interested please email: info@dogrescuedunedin.co.nz Jemma has been with us almost 2 months now, and she has not just adapted to her new surroundings, but has quickly picked up the daily routine with her foster brother Bandon with regard to toilet timing, feeding times, and bed times. She sits, stays, lays down (with encouragement!), and waits for her food until the release command is given... proving that you can in fact teach old dogs new tricks! She is a super dog ? sweet, funny, obedient and loves to sleep in front of the fire. She is very nice with other dogs, and gets along great with our friends' kids, she is very gentle - you can even put your hands in her food dish when she is eating. We call Jemma our little monkey, she is eager to please and greets us in the morning or when we arrive home after work with a twisty-jump in the air and a big smile. She is not a barker, nor does she jump on people. She walks well on the leash. She loves, loves, LOVES to play with the ball. Jemma is extremely well house-trained and can ghold ith for up to 10 hours overnight and also during the work day (we both work full time and both Jemma and her foster brother stay in the house while we are gone). She stays off the furniture, and has never chewed anything, or gotten into any mischief, while we are out. She would be an excellent indoor dog for a family with kids, or a professional couple or single. Jemma just loves to be part of the family, and she has the softest fur!
