Gertie

My Name is Gertie

I have been taken out of the kill shelter where i thought i was going to die, my mum was sadly killed in the shelter by other dogs so me and my sister was left alone, i was very scared but now someone has helped me and tells me it will be okay..

Now looking for a adoptive home:

Gertie
LOCATION: Leicestershire
• I am a small sized mixed breed female from Romania and I am approximately 16 months old
• I am very sweet, happy and affectionate and I love lots of cuddles
• I am friendly with people when I meet them whilst out walking and am gaining confidence all the time
• I am friendly with other small dogs. I can be a little nervous when out walking but my confidence is improving day by day
• I will need to be rehomed with another young, confident, active doggy friend who can help build my confidence, to play with and to learn from
• I enjoy having a bath, being brushed and having my teeth cleaned
• I will need firm boundaries and to learn a few manners but I am keen to please
• I am house trained but may need reminding of this in a new home
• I am crate trained and sleep well downstairs in a crate with my foster sister Phyllis.  I sleep through the night until the morning
• I am happy to have my harness placed on me
• I really enjoy my walks and walk well on my lead and harness with no pulling. I am getting more confident every day
• I travel well in the car and a dog guard or crate is recommended
• I would benefit from lots of socialisation with other dogs on walks to help increase my confidence
• I am always hungry and love my food
• I eat separately from the other dogs in my foster home as I may try and eat their food too.  My food manners are improving every day but I can be grumpy with other dogs around food
• I enjoy playing with toys and I love to play with my foster sisters, especially Phyllis.
• I could live with dog savvy children over 10 years old who will also respect my space.
• I am currently in foster with 3 other dogs in Leicestershire
• I am microchipped, vaccinated and spayed
• I have had a blood test for Brucella Canis at the APHA Lab in the UK which was negative
