“Laughing and a running…skipping and a jumping…your my brown eyed girl.”  Gema’s big, brown eyes are so sweet and soulful.  Her beautiful eyes always look like she is wondering what you are doing and how she can do it with you.  Her kindness is a testament to all pits, just look at how she loves to give people hugs.  Gema is nothing but personality, from fun and bouncy to cuddly and calm. 

Gema is very animated and silly when it comes to her toys.  She makes sure to get every single one out of her box.  Occasionally, she will zoom around the room just to show how happy and excited she is.  Despite the outgoing, silly, and bubbly personality, Gema has quite a calm demeanor.  She loves cuddling with her foster mom and equally enjoys chillaxin on a comfy dog bed.  In fact, Gema loves all people and will cuddle with anyone.  Are you up for all this gem has to offer?!?

To adopt Gema today, contact For the Love of Pits at Shana@fortheloveofpits.org or visit http://fortheloveofpits.org/.

“My husband used to say that television was my hobby and animals were my real life.  I just enjoy them more than anything else” – Betty White.  We couldn’t agree with you more, Betty.  Animals truly make our world whole, filling them with love, compassion, and kindness.  Looking to make an animal part of your world?  Here is an amazing girl, named Betty herself.

Betty is the most grateful dog there is.  She was saved hours before her time at a high kill shelter.  She is such a sweetheart who loves to give kisses and snuggle up next to you to fall asleep.  Betty is a very loyal dog, and she listens well too.  She is the perfect dog to welcome you home after a busy day.  Betty will surely make a great pet for any person or an entire family.  Won’t you welcome her into your home today?!?

To adopt Betty, contact Save R Dogs Ohio at 440-257-8329 or email saverdogs@yahoo.com.
