Gertrude came from a tough background—she was rescued from the Humane Society where she was facing euthanasia due to fearfulness. Her previous home was overwhelmed with too many pets, which left Gertrude shy and wary of new situations. She's timid, especially at first, but she finds comfort in the company of other dogs. For that reason, she will need to join a home with existing canine companions. As a senior Chihuahua, Gertrude does have a few manageable medical concerns. She’ll thrive in a quiet and patient household that can give her the extra time and sensitivity she needs to settle in and feel secure. Gertrude isn’t suitable for homes with children, but she does just fine with other dogs and even cats. She deserves a gentle hand, patience, and a chance to spend her golden years surrounded by steady love. Your new best friend is just one click away.
