My story

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

Meet Gertrude 🐾💃

Introducing Gertrude, a gorgeous hound with the kind of confidence and charm that turns heads wherever she goes! Gertrude knows she’s beautiful, and she carries herself with the elegance—and sass—of a true queen.

This energetic lady loves making new friends, both canine and human. She gets along well with other dogs, and she’s always up for a playful romp. Her curiosity and zest for life are boundless—she’s even been known to climb the courtyard fence just to say hello to a passerby! (Clearly, she doesn’t let anything stand between her and a new friend.)

What she’s looking for:

A loving, active home where her energy can be channeled into walks, playtime, and adventure.

A family who appreciates her hound-ly charm, elegance, and occasional mischief.

Companions who will enjoy her playful, outgoing personality and keep up with her zest for life.

If you’re ready to welcome a beautiful, confident, and endlessly fun hound into your life, Gertrude is ready to steal your heart—and maybe greet the neighbors while she’s at it! 🐾❤️

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We ask potential adopters to fill out a matchmaker form. When they are ready to adopt an animal and the form and interview process indicates a good match, we have the adopter sign an adoption contract promising that the animal will receive good physical and emotional care. Fees vary and we often have adoption specials. Fees for senior pets are sponsored. Otherwise, dogs are $100, puppies $150 and up, cats are $75, kittens are $95.
