Story
Gertie 10 years young · 13 lbs · Female · Small-breed mix
Gertie arrived at Manhattan ACC as a stray — though one look at this fluffy, underbite-having, eyelash-batting little creature and it's hard to imagine she fended for herself for long. Someone was definitely spoiling her.
She's got adorable tufted ears, a signature underbite, and — full disclosure — a rough recent haircut she is still recovering from. The luscious locks will return. In the meantime, she's working the gremlin-chic look with full confidence.
Gertie has a highly optimized daily routine: walk the neighborhood, collect her cheese and treat tax from admirers, return home victorious, nap. Repeat. She has already become a local fixture, deploying her white eyelashes at full power on anyone who makes eye contact.
She is not a barker — she's a communicator. Gertie vocalizes her feelings with enthusiastic little whines that make her inner life completely transparent. Joy? You'll know. Opinions about dinner timing? Very much known. You will never be left guessing.
She loves walks (she sees that leash, she knows), chasing a good ball, and finding the ideal pillow arrangement. Squeaky toys remain a philosophical puzzle she has not yet solved, but she's keeping an open mind.
Day-to-Day with Gertie:
Fully house-trained and recently spayed
Does great home alone — no separation anxiety
Excited about walks every single time
Ball chaser, pillow connoisseur, treat negotiator
Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, bordetella, and Lepto. Spayed/neutered and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
To apply to adopt Gertie, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for a foster application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.
Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue.
