Hi! My name is Gertie and I am available for adoption. I was brought in by a good Samaritan on 02/16/2026. I weigh 35 lbs and am considered a medium breed dog. I am a very smart dog! At the shelter I am practicing how to sit, stay, come, down and shake. I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home! I am an independent dog who likes to do my own thing! I am full of energy and I love to play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy. My caregivers have noticed that I seem to do well with other [small dogs/large dogs]. When meeting dogs in a new home, I would do best with a slow introduction. I will need to find a home where someone is available for me in these early days. It is important to be consistent with me and socialize me so I can have the best companionship with people and other animals. Puppies require patience because everything is brand new so I will need some TLC while I learn. If you and your family are ready to fall in love my awesome self, please check me out!!
