Gertie's Story

Behind Gertie’s mouthful of toys? A big smile from a sweet girl who is ready to find her forever home! Gertie loves people, and in her short time at PAWS, she’s been described as “friendly and personable” — someone who can’t wait to stretch her legs out of the crate and spend the day right by your side, regardless of what activity you’re up to. 

Are you Gertie’s new family? You might be if Gertie will be the primary dog in your residence and you can match her infectious energy! And if you’ve got a pocket full of treats, a place for Gertie’s toys, and time to enjoy some fresh air together during the day, prepare for that big smile to be headed your way.

Meet Gertie

Gertie can’t wait to meet you!

If you’re interested in adopting this pet, please complete the following steps:

1. Start by taking our ComPETibility Quiz to make sure they’re a good fit for your home. Your ComPETibility Score will help you compare your home to each pet’s needs!

2. After completing your ComPETibility Quiz, you will be emailed a link to complete your Adoption Application.

3. After finishing the adoption application, complete the Adoption Inquiry Form! Once this form is submitted, our Adoption Team will take a look at your adoption inquiry and reach out within a few days.

Please note that while we can’t place holds on adoptable animals for your scheduled appointment, there are always plenty of homeless pets looking for a home! If you don’t meet the perfect pet, please feel free to complete a new Adoption Inquiry Form or visit our Adoption Center. Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments are recommended for a more efficient visit!

Want another way to spend time with our adoptable (or soon-to-be-adoptable) pets? Consider fostering.
