Gertie was rescued from Montgomery County Animal Control (TN), heartworm positive, mild allergies and arthritis (both treated with over-the-counter medications). Lives in foster home with male Rottweilers and 2 male/female dachshunds. Crate trained, Housebroken, with a regular schedule/dog door. ***Special Needs: Senior adoption fee*** Heartworm treatment Nov-Dec 2012

Gertie tells her story: I remember the day I heard the ‘Rottweiler’ lady was there I hoped she was coming for me, whew, things weren’t looking for good for me at the ‘Animal Control’ place, they all kept saying I was ‘old” and ‘a bit difficult” but I just wanted OUT, I was scared and very nervous, I didn’t know what I had done wrong. Well, that was my lucky day because she did come to get me! After talking very nice to me, I was out of the building, in the fresh air feeling like a new Rottie ! Woo Hoo !! I am a very good girl and I think I deserve a new life of love, happiness and responsible care; I hope someone will look at me seeing the Rottie girl I am and not just my age. I’m very wiggly butt happy and will love a new family so much! I think foster mom is pretty great but I would love a family of my very own soooo much … and then foster mom can save more dogs in need. So you adopt ME and two dogs are saved! Please email foster mom if you have any questions, thank you for considering me !! ~Love, Gertie~
