Description:
She is a Poodle and possibly Cocker Spaniel mix. She was so severely matted that she had to be shaved down to her skin. Her coloring will be a beautiful cream and caramel mix which can be seen on her gorgeous tail that looks like a fox! The caramel color will likely also be coming through on her legs once her fur begins to grow out a bit. With her being shaved you can see how thin she is and is in definite need of proper nutrition. It truly breaks your heart to see how skinny she is. She has a healthy appetite and will be back to her natural weight in no time! Gertie will snuggle next to her foster mom on the couch and will wake up and check on the mom every once in a while. When humans are moving around, Gerti follows her mom where ever she goes and when she stop, Gertie will lay close by until she starts moving again. Super sweet :-) Gertie tolerates the resident dog, but she does not like it if the resident dog wants to participate in the affection. She will need to be adopted by a person or family where she can be the only resident doggie in the house. Gertie is said to do fine with kids and cats, just no experience with them in this particular foster home. She is not a barker and when she goes out to potty or poo … she gets right down to business which is a bonus. Probably because she is so cold! Gerti is a very sweet girl that must have quite a story to tell if she could talk. Her chocolate brown eyes speak volumes and are filled with love, trust and hope to find her forever home.
When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
