Gertie

Gertie is a sweet senior girl who is learning, little by little, that the world can be a safe place. Found as a stray, she doesn't seem to have had much experience with people, and new humans can be a little overwhelming for her. But Gertie is trying. If you offer a treat in your hand, she may take a few seconds to decide whether she's ready to trust you enough to come forward. When she does, her little stubby tail gives a gentle wag-a sweet reminder that underneath her uncertainty is a very friendly girl.<br/><br/>Her soft, gentle eyes seem to say that she really wants to trust you; she just isn't quite sure how yet. Human touch is still something she is learning about, so Gertie will need someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her set the pace. Once she feels safe, we believe there is a lot of love waiting to come out.<br/><br/>Gertie absolutely loves her soft bed, and we can picture her happiest in a quiet home where she doesn't have to worry about the hustle and bustle of the world. This senior sweetheart deserves someone patient and kind who will give her the time she needs to relax, feel secure, and discover just how wonderful life with a loving person can be.<br/><br/>If you are interested in learning more about Gertie, please call 812-988-7362 or submit an adoption application at the link below.
