Gertie is an older Basset Hound mix who still has a spark in her. She tends to keep to herself at first and does well in a calm, predictable space. Gertie has a shy streak, but once she feels comfortable, she opens up with plenty of affection. She’s happiest with a relaxed daily routine and will give you a few laughs with her dry sense of humor. Small children can overwhelm her, so Gertie needs a household without young kids where she can relax and feel secure. While she doesn’t prefer the company of other dogs, her focus is on being a sweet, loyal companion to her person. Her brown and white markings and senior status make her an endearing presence, especially for anyone who appreciates a gentle, quiet dog with personality. Fun fact: Gertie is a Taurus, so she’ll bring a steady, devoted energy to your home. Ready to give Gertie a loving retirement? Click apply to start the adoption process.
