***SAFE 03/26/16***GREY AND WHITE GEM NEEDS RESCUE ANGEL! Gem is a five year old grey and white spayed girl who was brought into the ACC after possibly being hit by a car. She is ear-tipped and most likely spent some time on the street. She is sad, scared and may need follow up vet care for her injuries. Please let a rescue know if you can foster this girl–as all reasonable medical expenses will be covered if you can offer Gem temporary safe haven to recoup and decompress.
