Gertie is a 9-year-old Basset Hound mix with a big personality and even bigger opinions. She’s got her routines down pat—and she’s not afraid to let you know what she wants. Whether it’s her favorite chair, a beloved toy, or a cozy corner, Gertie believes in claiming her throne and guarding it with gusto. But don’t let her sass fool you—Gertie has an adorable side that wins hearts fast. She’ll trot after a tennis ball with surprising enthusiasm, flash you her goofy grin, and melt into a cuddle when the mood strikes. She’s happiest when she’s the center of attention and would thrive as your one-and-only dog. Gertie’s not for everyone—but for the right person, she’s everything. If you’re ready to welcome a strong-willed sweetheart into your life, Gertie’s waiting to meet you.
Ideal Home
Gertie would thrive as your one-and-only dog. She needs a home without young children (15+ only) and without other pets. She would prefer someone with training experience who can offer her a calm, structured environment where she can feel safe and loved.

Gertie is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccinations. She has been treated for fleas and ticks and is on monthly heartworm medication.
