Gertie

Meet Gertrude (Gertie, GOO!), a sweet and obedient white and reddish brown piebald 2-year-old female English Bulldog looking for her forever home. Gertie is a loving companion who enjoys being the center of attention and would thrive as the only pet in the household. Key Details: •Temperament: Gertie is very well-behaved, with no accidents in the house. She prefers to lie on the couch but will gladly go to her bed if instructed. Absolutely no chewing except on Bark Box toys! Gertie loves to sleep in the bed snuggled with the kids if permitted. Gertie does not bark randomly only as dogs do intermittently. •Personality: She is a happy girl, shown by her beaming pictures! Gertie is both athletic and energetic, but also enjoys being a couch potato, especially in the winter months. She loves to "buck like a bull," a fun and unique quirk, but also loves to sleep all tucked in with her front paws under her cheeks, a perfect mix of both worlds. Gertie listens~ we call her giving the side eye if she knows you're talking about her. She is attentive and wants to please you, especially if you’ve got treats! She travels well in the passenger seat but would prefer to be in your lap. At times, she will remind you she is there by migrating to the center console while you're driving. She is probably excited as she knows she is headed for a Scooter’s Pup Cup! She does great on or off a leash and can jump into a F350 with ease. We have her on a 75 percent raw diet and 25 percent kibble. She eats well and has a beautiful coat and physique to show for it! Why We’re Rehoming: It saddens us deeply to find Gertie a new home, but she isn't getting along well with our aging Blue Heeler, who is beginning to lose his sight and startles more easily now. Despite our best efforts to keep them separated, we are concerned about the possibility of an altercation. I pride myself on our dogs and know she deserves ALL the love a family can give to her. She will THRIVE in a single dog home. She does excellent with children, not sure she is a cat lady but perhaps could venture into it over time? Overall, Gertie is a glamorous gemstone and I am heartbroken to have to list her, but I know we must do what is in her best interest. She is capable of having puppies and has had one litter without trouble, 2 years ago. She did great with mothering her babies and has not been spayed. If you are interested in breeding her, I will be very inquisitive, as this is a serious matter and not for someone inexperienced. English Bulldogs are primarily a man-man breed these days, and it takes meticulous timing and monitoring to ensure the safety of the mother and puppies. Ideal Home: •Only pet in the household •Loving environment where she can be the center of attention •Owners who appreciate both her energetic bursts and her love for a good nap on the couch. •Space to roam indoors and out! Does great on and off a leash, but has been raised in the country. We want the best for Gertie and believe she will bring a lot of joy to the right family. If you can provide a loving and attentive home for Gertie, please reach out. Contact Information: 573-356-1960 Thank you for considering giving Gertie a forever home. Rehoming fee will apply.
