Gertie

Gertie DOB 5/6/2016 Female Basset Hound Mix<br/><br/>Gertie is a basset hound with a big personality and even bigger opinions. At 9 years old, 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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Because Gertie has somewhat aggressive manners and can be protective of her space and belongings, she’s looking for a home without young children (15+ only) and without other pets and preferably someone with training experience. She needs an adopter who understands boundaries, respects her quirks, and can offer her a calm, structured environment where she can feel safe and loved.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/><br/><br/>IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FROM OUR WEBSITE: www.hoperescues.org. Our adoption fee is $275.00 for all our dogs. <br/>This fee includes: Spay/Neuter, microchip, all current vaccinations, and flea/tick treatment.
