Please welcome Gem 
Gem was brought into the Home with her bestie Ruby. Gem isn't anxious, but she does seem a little despondent at her change of circumstances.
We're not sure what sort of diet Gem and Ruby are used to, but we're pretty sure portion control didn't come into it
Gem is quite obese.
She does have a darling little otter face though
It's possible Gem and Ruby are related, could be sisters, could be mother and daughter, it's impossible to say. The staff will be looking to rehome them separately, but once they are on the walkers list they might enjoy stepping out together, so Pilgrims - if you visit the home with a friend or partner, be sure to ask if the girls can come out together. Gem will be seeing the vet first thing on Monday morning, and will be on the walkers list from Friday.
Back in the vet room, Gem wasn't interested in toys, treats or anything really.
She was more than happy to stay close to Aunty Cheryl, but she seems to be taking a little while longer than Ruby to settle.
If Gem's owner doesn't come forward to claim her, she will be available for rehoming from 29th April.
If you would like more information, or would like to meet Gem, please phone the Dogs' Home: 029 2071 1243 or visit Cardiff Dogs' Home, Westpoint Industrial Estate, Penarth Road, open 7 days a week, 10.30 - 4pm.

Yes my child fell asleep cuddling the dog!! 4 months in and it's safe to say she has made herself well and truly comfortable, her relationship with the children is awe inspiring- everyday she washes them when they come from school and every night she visits their bedrooms before settling down in ours. She travels from somerset to Kent regularly with us and has no problems travelling and visiting family. She had no basic training when we adopted her not even sit, now she knows sit, lay, paw, roll over, wait, stay, leave, take and touch- even better than training we now play
