-Additional Information:
Meet Gertrude, an active girl who loves loves loves to be pet and doted on. It appears that Gertrude can be a little anxious and would do best with someone who's home for the majority of day. She might take a little longer to settle into her new home but once she's comfy she'll be a loyal partner for life! She'll thrive in a home where she can get regular exercise like long walks and hikes. A tennis ball is one of Gertrude's favorite things and her adopter must be prepared to supply her with lots and lots of tennis balls! If you'd like to meet with this one-of-a-kind girl, please fill out an application at the front desk!
