My personality

My story

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

Are you looking for a go-with-the-flow, adorable and snuggly best friend to add to your family? Look no further, Gerti is the gal for you!

Things about me you might like to know:

Breed: Terrier Mix

Color: Tan/White

Size: 55 pounds (I am short and stocky like a bulldog)

Age: Approximately 2-3 years

Activity level: Low/Medium

Things I do in my free time: I am a pretty chill girl, I spend most of my day relaxing. I am easily entertained watching the squirrels run along the fence in the yard or chillin’ on the porch in the sun. I love attention and snuggling with my human friends! I am content chewing on a Kong or chew bone.

Things I know: I know how to sit for treats. I have basic house manners, I respond well if I am corrected. I am not the destructive type.

Things I am working on: I could use basic training. I am learning not to jump on my human friends when I meet them. For the most part my foster family thinks I am pretty close to perfection.

Kennel: I currently do not use a kennel when my foster family is at work/school. I am not kenneled at night and am content to lay on the couch or snuggle with you in bed. I love to sleep on my big cozy doggie bed. Word of warning, I do like to chew the stuffing out of toys and dog beds.

Potty training: Bonus! I am 100% potty trained. The home I am currently in uses a fenced yard.

Kids: I currently am in a house with two older teenagers. Older respectful children would be fine for me.

Dogs: I currently live in a house with one middle aged large breed male dog. Ido love to snuggle with him. I would be fine living with or without another dog.

Cats: Unknown

Car Rides: I am a great passenger, no car sickness for me. I love to ride in the passenger seat with my doggie seatbelt!

Walking: I am still working on not pulling too much on walks. I am a smart girl and with consistency I know I will be better.  I would love a walk a day, although there have been days when my foster mom is busy and I get along fine without it. She just makes sure I get some good play time outside.

What to expect when you adopt me: You can expect to spend your days with a loyal, super cute best friend. Transitioning into my forever home should be smooth sailing!

Additional information: I was picked up as a stray locally here in Minnesota. I was never claimed by my owner. Thanks to “Spots Last Stop Canine Rescue” I am getting the chance to find my furever home.
