More: Gemma is a rescue from Clark County Animal Shelter in Illinois. Her background story is Gemma had run around for about 3 weeks before being caught. She'd been living on eating out of trash cans in the county. We read her description as being part Brittany and knew she'd have to be a part of our family. (Hoosier, a part Brittany and Mya, a full blooded Brittany had been the love of our lives respectfully for 16 and 12 years)
