Gertie came from a hoarding situation with nearly 100 dogs and was part of the first group to be helped by PACC’s Animal Restoration Kennel facility (ARK). ARK was created for the explicit purpose of addressing hoarding conditions at sites scattered throughout the county, allowing the animals in these situations to get the physical care and socialization that they need. The dogs in this case range in age and size and even include mamas with babies- all are sweet, deserving dogs who dream of a loving home and a chance at a healthy, happy life. These dogs each have a unique personality- some are already vibrant and brave, while others need more TLC and help to build confidence, but all have love to share with their future family. “Gertie is still a shy girl but is an easy walker. In the yard she is social and tolerant of the other dogs and normally wanders the yard or lays in a corner. Overall a sweet girl.” Gertie shares her kennel and would likely benefit from a confident furry friend in her future home. Ask to meet an ARK dog today!!
