My story

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

Meet Gertrude, a gentle 5-and-a-half-year-old soul who’s looking for a fresh start. She may be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, her sweet personality begins to shine. Gertrude was sadly surrendered through no fault of her own and is now hoping for a patient, loving family to show her that home can be forever. With a little time and love, this quiet girl will make a wonderful, loyal companion.
