Why I need a new home

Found or abandoned

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We found Gertie on 2024-03-04 in a field in Miami. She looked to be abandoned and was very skittish when we arrived. We tossed her a few treats and once we realized we were safe she warmed up immediately. She has been incredibly sweet and great with the vet and techs, and so long as someone gives her a treat she warms up immediately.

Updates: We have gotten her spayed and she has recovered. We have been taking her on some longer walks and to meet more people. She is still curious about strangers, but once meets someone she is a complete marshmallow. We found someone to watch her for April to help us out and she has fully enjoyed some attention.

She enjoys playing by herself and just needs someone to give her some attention and let her follow them around. We think she has never really had a family, because she loves attention but also is happy to just sleep on her bed and feel safe.

So we are looking for a permanent family for a pup that just wants to be loved.
