Meet Gertie - $400

Hello there! My name is Gertie! I am part Border Collie and part Lab; which makes me a Borador! I am about 10 months old and currently weigh 51 lbs. I could use a few groceries though, as I am rather skinny. My foster parents think I will probably be about 65 lbs once I'm done growing and at a healthy weight. I have been with my foster family since January 24th and have had no accidents in the house and sleep quietly through the night in my kennel. I am very gentle and don't jump up on people. I am currently an only dog in my foster home, but am friendly with other dogs I've met at the rescue and on walks. I'm working on not barking at dogs I see while I'm on walks, but it's just because I'm so excited and want to go play with them. I'm also working on not whining when we walk by people, which is me just being upset they didn't come pet me. I sit for my food and am very smart so I should pick up new commands quickly. I enjoy my squeaky toys, chewing on bones, playing in snow, and cuddling with my foster parents. I am medium energy and match the energy of my foster parents. I am calm in the house, but am very active outside. I am not good with cats. I am a sweet girl looking for my furever home!

If you would like to be considered as a potential adopter for one of our great dogs, please go to our website- www.luckymuttsrescue.org and submit an application. Our application process includes landlord approval and vet checks. Please make sure all of your information is current and accurate, including a valid email address and phone numbers. Inaccuracies and/or incomplete data will delay and/or cancel your application. We strive to process all applications in a timely manner, but with the high volume of applications we are receiving, it is taking anywhere from 1-3 weeks. You may be contacted via email if there are concerns or questions. Once all of your information is reviewed and if your application is approved, you will be notified via email. Submitting an application and receiving an approval does not guarantee you will be adopting the dog you applied for. Once you move to the meet and greet process, you will be contacted by the foster family to further discuss the dog, and answer questions you may have, and if applicable, a meet and greet will be set up at our adoption center. Meet and greets are only set up with approved applicants, and we require all members in the household to be present, as well as any current dogs in the home.

Current Adoption Fees Are:
$400+tax for puppies to 3 years old
$350+tax for ages 4-7
$250+tax for ages 8 and up
Bonded pairs vary

The adoption fee covers spay/neuter, up to date age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, general deworming, heartworm test, (if over 6 months) and a certified veterinary inspection. Please be aware, listed dog breeds are based on information provided and cannot be guaranteed. Submitting an application for a particular dog does not guarantee that you will be the applicant chosen, we receive several applications for each dog. Our adopters are picked based on the needs of the dog, and the home we feel with best fit based on your responses to our application, vet information and landlord requirements. Approved applicants not chosen for the dog you applied for, will be in active status for a period of six months. We encourage you to watch Petfinder, Facebook and our website for upcoming dogs. Should you see a dog that interests you, please send us a Facebook message or an email with your approval number. Please be patient with us, as Lucky Mutts Rescue is run strictly by volunteers and many of us work full time jobs, have families and also foster dogs. Thank you for considering Lucky Mutts Rescue for your next furry family member!
