Meet Gertie! Gertie is a 10 year-old, 13-pound female small-breed mix from NYC. She presented to the Manhattan ACC as a stray — but it's unlikely she spent much time on the streets fending for herself! She has the most adorable fluffy ears and underbite. While her ancestry is a mystery to us - perhaps a leggy Pekingese mix or a leggy Tibetan spaniel? Either way - she's 100% precious! Don't mind her goofy tufts, she recently had a bad haircut. We anticipate her to have long, lucious locks once they grow back. Gertie is a fairly low key senior. who likes to squeeze in a few naps around her daily walks though the ‘hood collecting her cheese & treat tax. She has quickly become a neighborhood favorite batting her gorgeous white eye lashes at everyone she meets. She does well left home alone while her foster mom is at work. She has not found a pile of pillows she did not like. She is very expressive and vocalizes her excitement! She isn't a barker but a “whiner”. You will never be in doubt of how she feels. She is house-trained (recently spayed) and is very excited when she sees the leash come out for her walks. She also loves chasing balls though squeaky toys remain an enigma to her.
