“I hope this message finds you well. We’re reaching out today with an urgent plea for assistance with a special animal in our care.
This plea is for Gemma, a tan, 3-year-old, 35lb female Pit Bull mix who was found on October 24th in Lawrenceville when a citizen was walking their dogs in their neighborhood. Gemma was wearing a pink service dog vest with a red leash attached and a prong collar tied together with a shoelace. Unfortunately, we currently have no microchip or owner information for Gemma.
Gemma is very friendly, wiggly and ecstatically happy to be with people. Just look at her sweet smile! She is a good girl and desperately needs a home where she can calm down. She knows how to sit, and takes the treats a bit hard/too enthusiastically. Gemma is able to be leashed and handled without any behavioral or aggression. Gemma has received her vaccinations, tested negative for heartworms, but has not yet been spayed or microchipped, but can be before leaving our facility if she is pulled for rescue.
Gemma is in need of specialized care due self-mutilating her legs due to kennel anxiety, to the point where the shelter vet has informed us that humane euthanasia may need to be considered for her if she is not able to get out of the shelter. They have tried medicating Gemma with trazadone and gabapentin and putting a cone on her to prevent her from chewing on her legs, but Gemma keeps managing to get the cone off and continues to chew on her legs.
In addition to the compassionate care Gemma needs, we’re seeking your help with further diagnostics and rehabilitation to give her the best chance at a comfortable and happy future.
Our shelter is currently under quarantine and unable to send any animals out until December 19th. This girl needs to get out of here as quickly as possible once we reopen. If you’re able to help Gemma, please contact us as soon as possible. If you are unable to pull her directly, any help in spreading the word to other organizations would be invaluable.

We met Gemma, ID #106686, on October 24 as a stray from the Lawrenceville area. She's 3 years old and 35 pounds. During her photoshoot, she was very friendly and sat when asked! She loves a good treat! She even showed us her best, happy wiggles! Gemma's ready to start her next adventure! Help us help her by sharing her post or contact us for more information about her.
