Gertie is a delightful rabbit with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She has lived peacefully with cats and dogs before, proving she’s a friendly gal who knows how to make friends with everyone. Gertie is curious, clever, and loves to be the center of attention - whether that’s through playtime, snuggles, or simply following you around to see what you’re up to.
She’s a foodie at heart and can’t resist lettuce, arugula, carrots, or berries. She also has a playful streak - her beloved stacking cups, fun forage activities, and secret hideouts (like under the bed) are all part of her daily adventures. You might find her splooted out on the floor in total relaxation, or hopping onto your bed with a hopeful look that says, “Are you going to share that breakfast?”
With her sweet charm and curious nature, Gertie will fill your home with love, laughter, and just the right amount of mischief. She’s ready to hop into her forever home - could it be with you?
If you are interested in adopting Gertie, please email jessanfacing@gmail.com to arrange an initial meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
