Name: Gertie

Owner: Susie Axelrad

Gender: Female

Age: 12 years

She is 12 years old and proudly celebrates her birthday on Christmas 🎄. Her favorite toy is a dog toy shaped like a Hershey’s Kiss, which feels very on-brand for her sweet-but-demanding nature. She absolutely loves ear rubs and being adored, but she hates sharing, especially attention. When it comes to food, she isn’t picky at all; anything offered is happily accepted. These days, she’s a true lounge lizard, spending most of her time relaxing and napping. Throughout her life, she’s always preferred having a calm dog in the house rather than chaos. Her favorite place at home is the bed, where she can enjoy plenty of uninterrupted naps. Her personality can best be described as bossy and entitled 😊, and she fully owns it. What I love most about her is how aloof yet protective she is; she keeps her independence while always watching over her people. A little extra backstory: she was the last dog left at a rescue event. When I arrived, someone else was looking at her, but they walked away, and I swooped in. She was my best “ 2 second choice ” ever, and clearly meant to be mine.
