Name:   Tracy Hughes (now Gemma)  

Description:   ~ 29 lb ~ 3 yrs old ~ fostered in Hyattsville, MD ~

Tracy is a total lovebug whose tail has rarely stopped wagging since she got here. She reminds me of me when I first get to a fancy hotel -- running hither and thither looking for all the cool things around.

We had a good and (yay!) productive walk this morning. She's definitely a scenthound, her nose is always to the ground, but I think she has some sighthound in her from the pointy shape of her schnoz. She's got a delicacy, too, like maybe there's min-pin or mini greyhound in her.

She's a Velcro dog, that's for sure. I'm hoping to introduce her to my neighbor's adorable little Westie sometime today or tomorrow so she has some canine companionship.

Tracy is heartworm positive and we will be treating her soon.

Success Story:   A note from Gemma's new family:

It's official! After nearly five months of fostering during which our girl underwent heartworm treatment, a surprise heat then spay along with a hernia, Miss Gemma is finally ours. From foster to adoption, Gemma latched on to me from day one. It has been wonderful to see her settle in and make herself at home. We already love her so much.
