Gem is a sensitive and shy young dog who is just beginning to learn how to navigate the big, exciting world around her. New situations can feel a little overwhelming at first, but with patience and reassurance, Gem’s confidence continues to grow. One place where Gem truly shines is with other dogs-she’s playful, social, and loves having canine friends to help her feel at ease. With people, she’s sweet and gentle, offering quiet affection once she feels safe and comfortable.
