GERTRUDE - FRENCH BULLDOG DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: French Bulldog. Meet Gertrude — a tiny Frenchie with a personality that absolutely did **not** read the size chart. Gertrude’s life goal is simple: to be as close to you as physically (and emotionally) possible at all times. She loves attention, follows you everywhere, and would happily crawl into your skin if given the opportunity. Think less “dog” and more “very committed shadow.” Privacy? She doesn’t know her. She is extremely treat-motivated and will gladly work for snacks, though toys currently confuse her. Are they food? Are they friends? She’s undecided. Gertrude has lived with other dogs before, but we do recommend a meet-and-greet with any potential dog siblings—her intense, unblinking stalker vibe can be a bit much for other dogs. Gertrude is still learning the finer points of leash walking and potty training, so patience and a sense of humor are required. She recently had ear infections that caused growths in her ears, which have been cleared by the vet. She’s now on ear ointments and allergy medications, giving her ears a wet, dewy, “freshly misted houseplant” look. A home with bulldog experience is preferred, as Gertrude is a lovingly deformed goblin of a dog who comes with loud breathing, adorable snorts, and zero shame about either. She needs someone prepared for snorts, snores, and a dog who will stare at them with unwavering devotion at all hours. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, professional creeper, and snack enthusiast wrapped in a Frenchie body… Gertrude is ready to follow you home (and into every room forever). Gertrude was surrendered to our rescue due to no fault of her own. She is being treated for ear infections and is on allergy medication. Meet and greets are by appointment only. An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events! We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time. When we do, it will be updated here. This is all the information we have currently. Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above. Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance. We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.
