Hello folks! My name is Gertrude, and feel free to call me Gert! I am one of the senior dogs here at a young age of 12 years old. My personality does not reflect my age, as I will be happy to have you walk me on these sunny days. I do have arthritis, which causes me to have a unique type of walk, but I do not let it slow me down at all (with the help of some pain management).
I love the staff here, but would sure like to be adopted so I can live in a home with a comfy dog bed, and someone to love me everyday. I will probably do best in a home that has someone to take me outside for potty breaks, but provide plenty of cuddles and things to do inside!
Want more information about me? Call the shelter to make an appointment to see me!
