Gertie is a medium-sized, 4-year-old female mixed-breed dog with charming gray and white fur. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for her forever home in Wantagh, NY. Though she is house trained and friendly, her protective nature around food and belongings means she’ll thrive with an experienced adopter who understands her needs.

About Gertie

Gertie is a sweet and affectionate girl who thrives on companionship. She loves to be close to her people and greets them with a wagging tail, often rolling over for belly rubs. While she's working on building her confidence during walks, new environments can make her a bit anxious. Gertie is looking for a patient adopter who can help her feel secure as she learns. She does have a protective side, especially around her favorite belongings like her bed or food. For this reason, an experienced and understanding owner is ideal; she would do best in a home without small children. Gertie has made some doggy friends, so she might enjoy having a canine sibling. With the right guidance and kindness, Gertie can become a loyal and loving companion. This cutie is currently at our Wantagh location, and meetings are by appointment only. If you're interested in meeting her, please submit an online application to schedule an appointment. Click "Apply for Adoption" now to get started!
