Meet the fabulous Gertie! 🎉 At just 10 months old, this delightful Dutch Shepherd/Lab mix is bursting with joy and affection. Her heart is as big as her adorable smile, and she radiates positivity wherever she goes! Gertie is a social butterfly, loving every person, dog, and cat she meets. 🐶🐱 Her joyful, puppy spirit shines through in her playful antics, making her the perfect companion for someone wanting to add a little sparkle to their life. 🌟 Whether it’s romping around in a yard or going for exhilarating walks in your neighborhood, Gertie is all about fun and happiness! This remarkable girl is kennel trained, enjoys a smooth ride in the car 🚗, and even shines at the vet—talk about a star! ⭐️ Gertie would thrive in a nurturing environment where daily walks and mental stimulation are a part of the routine. Whether you have a lovely yard for her to romp in or an apartment where you can commit to daily outings, she’s ready to fit right into your family! But let me share a little of Gertie's backstory—this sweet girl was heartbreakingly brought to a vet clinic once, with plans for euthanasia due to an irresponsible situation. 💔 But thank goodness she was given a second chance! Now, she’s stepping into life with a big smile and an even bigger heart, ready to prove that she truly deserves all the love in the world! Due to her exuberant energy and size, Gertie may not be the best fit for homes with tiny children, as she could accidentally knock them over while joyfully bouncing around. So a loving home with older children or adults would be perfect for her. Gertie is fully vetted, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations, meaning she is ready to be your forever friend right now! 🌈 She’s on a mission to find a home where she can feel cherished and loved for all her days. Ready to let Gertie into your heart? You simply cannot miss the chance to bring this bundle of joy home! Apply to adopt her through the Buddy App to start the journey today! 💖
