About Gertie

Gertie is a sweet girl who adores being close to her people. She greets her friends with a wagging tail and loves belly rubs at any chance she gets. This affectionate dog thrives on companionship and prefers being near those she trusts. Still learning to navigate life outside her home, Gertie is building her confidence during walks. New environments can make her a bit anxious, so a patient adopter is key to helping her feel secure and comfortable. She tends to be protective of her favorite belongings, like her bed and food, making an experienced adopter important for her continued growth. Ideally, Gertie should live in a home without small children, but she has some dog friends, so a canine sibling could be a great match for her.
