Compassionate Placement

Take a look at me!  I am 8-10 years young and 7 pounds.  I am so spry that I surely have a good 5 years left—likely more!  I am healthy and active, and I LOVE people and to be cuddled and snuggled with! 

I am SO affectionate, I will give kisses too!  I am very interested in all around me and travel well.  I might get used to cats!  I like other friendly wee dogs!  My coat is  black with a bit of grey, and I am a  Miniature Poodle.    I was saved from being euthanized because of my age—I am too happy and healthy for that to happen!  There is happy life in the old girl yet!  Can we spend our retirement years together? 

I am spayed, shots to date, heartworm tested negative and on preventative, no fleas or parasites—and I love carrides!  I am so happy, you will never be down with me as your friend!

This cheerful and ladylike Bassethound  is a tri-colour girl of white, black and brown.  She was abandoned at a vets around moving day, for no fault of hers, she is a sweet dog!  About 1 ½ years old tops, Sandy is friendly with other dogs, probably would get along with cats as most Bassets do.

Hi there!  I am a typical Blond Lab of 6 years young!  I am SUCH a good boy in every way--not a mean bone, playful, loving and affectionate and as energetic as a dog much younger. 

I LOVE my life and greet each day with joy and optimism!  I love to travel in the car, love to hike with you, and even have gone camping.  I am totally trustworthy with kids, and only bark occasionally being pretty calm most of the time. I don't jump up on people but dance around them!  I know sit, lay, come, and stay--but you might need to remind me! 

I LOVE to play with other dogs and have lots of energy for nice friends at the dog park. No known allergies.  I am neutered with all shots needed up to date, heartworm tested negative, and on heartworm preventative.

I am so handsome, but I like to hear you say that to me!  My friendly and trusting eyes are the mirror of my soul.  Want a life companion?--I'm your man!

Hi! My name is Spirit and I am a 2 year old male dramatic-looking black Husky mix with one BLUE and one BROWN eye. I am a simply happy go lucky guy that is curious about everyone and everything.

I am very sociable with adults, children of all ages and other dogs. I have been very well trained by my previous owner so I know all my commands and can even be walked off leash at dog walks and runs. I know all kinds of tricks including giving a high five - speaking on command and saying please for my food.

I am a very active dog but I do know how to relax after a hard day and can be quite calm. I love attention - belly rubs and licking faces. I am known to sneak on the couch while you are watching TV.  I would do well with families, couples or someone who understands my character and can provide me with a solid structure of training and play.

You can bribe me anytime with food - I'll do almost anything for cheese and peanut butter.  I am fully house trained and can give you a warning when I need to go out for a walk. My person has a new job and I cannot go with him much to his sorrow, so I am back with Gerdy's again.

Neutered, shots up to date, heartworm tested and on preventative, are you ready for a bit of Spirit in your life?

Samuel is a 1 year old blue-eyed Rough Coat Collie who was shaved by previous owners due to matting. Samuel has had a difficult start to life due to being passed from owner to owner through no fault of his own. His temperament is 100% impeccable. He is excellent with children, cats and dogs. He is mild mannered, affectionate, calm and respectful whether in the home or on leash. 

Gerdy is determined to find Samuel a caring family that will ensure that he is loved and cherished FOREVER. Samuel will require regular grooming when his coat grows in, good food, lots of play and of course tons of love. 

If you can put that sparkle back into those soulful eyes, then Samuel will provide you with his affection, loyalty and gratitude. He is one special boy that only asks for a place in your heart and the knowing he will be safe at last.

Samuel has been Neutered, shots up to date, heartworm tested, Bordatella vaccine, Revolution for fleas & worms just in case.

Ming Mei likes to be around adults and children.  Owner travelling more on business. A 4 year old CHOW/BOXER mix, she's not cuddly, but she does like to hang out with people.  She keeps her dignity!   Loves to be near when working in your home office and interested in meeting your friends.  

She's a big kisser, always curious of the world around her.  She doesn't bite  people and you can pet her with no worries.  She loves to run on leash  and is great at fetch and agility.  Ming Mei is an active dog that needs a large fenced in back yard.

Spontaneous, alert, energetic and very quiet, rarely barks.  She doesn't go on furniture or sleep on the bed.  Loves long walks and runs but she must always be on leash.   

She loves to play fetch and likes to be petted but not necessarily hugged.  She always wants to be in the presence of people and is selective about other dogs. Good in the car, she doesn't bark. Housetrained.  

She needs a strong handler, meaning a calm Alpha.  She sits, lays down, Stands, Heels well. This lovely brindle coloured girl is spayed, shots up to date, no worms or fleas, and is on heartworm preventative.

Cammi is a medium sized 4 year old cross between a beagle and shepherd.  She has beautiful mascara eyes that are the envy of any cover girl.  Cammi was surrendered due to a new baby in the family, though she posed as no threat.

Cammi is very loyal to her people.  She is not an attention seeker, however she is a little reserved and cautious when introduced to someone new.  Cammi lacks a little confidence, but with the right guidance, these insecurities will be overcome. 

While with Gerdy, Cammi has been introduced to other dogs and enjoys her playtime with them.  She also enjoys little adventures which also boosts her confidence.  Cammi enjoys her outings with enthusiasm which is evident by the non stop wagging of her tail.

Cammi is secure enough to be left alone at home – no noise and no destructive behaviour.  She is clean in the home and asks for the door when it is time to go out.  She is also well mannered indoors and outdoors.  She may require a quick refresher course on her commands since they have not been re-enforced throughout the years.  She did however have a basic course, so anyone with dog experience will be able to accomplish this quickly.

Cammi wants so desperately to belong to someone.  She wants to be cherished and find a forever family so that she feels secure and loved.  It is recommended that Cammi be placed with children over 9 that are dog savvy and a CALM family that has the time and patience to make Cammi comfortable and secure.  Though she previously lived with an older cat, it would be best to find her a home without one or a cat that is very relaxed and laid back.

Cammi has been spayed, fully vaccinated, heart worm tested negative, de-wormed and flea prevention, and is on Revolution heartworm preventative.

Cammi is waiting for that special someone who will love her as much as she will love them.  Consider this loyal young lady as part of your family - she will be a fine addition to your life.

Returned to us because of a skin allergy that is now being treated

Buford is my name and fun is my game!  I was originally  given to the pound to be euthanized, but I am such a good boy!!  Thanks to a kind woman who saved me, I have a new leash on life!  Excuse the pun, but I have a great downhome sense of humour.  No one walks past me without a smile, I bring joy with me wherever I go! 

I am a HUGE 2 ½ year old Basset, not fat folks—just LONG—I go on forever, haw! haw! I am a young guy not interested in the girl dogs anymore other than just friends, I hear I was tutored, no, neutered -- that’s it!  

I am a Bassethound.  That means I follow my nose wherever it leads me and I don’t look up til I am lost real good, I have a better sense of smell than a bloodhound.  So you have to keep me real safe, NEVER let me on the loose, I will run as soon as I see something move—Bassets run FAST when they want to and do not listen, Bassets make the rules, and you live by them. 

Completely loyal and good humoured, a Basset is a great family dog for gentle children to grow up with.  We love kids! Most times -- cats, and they rule us.  I  also have had my vaccinations up to date, heartworm test (negative), now on heartworm preventative, and been treated for fleas and parasites just in case.  Now I’m ready for my forever home with you.  I have one problem tho,-- I have a skin allergy. 

They have put me on a special food and allergy med from the vet to see how I will do.  So I need a home where you will love me and help me through this and be willing to get medication for me as I need it from the vet, after adoption.  I would really show my appreciation by making you laugh and be glad you took me into your home and heart!

Tammy

A beautiful female grey domestic shorthair. 

Tasha

The smallest of all, she is a black domestic shorthair.

They are in foster care right now, but look forward to their very own homes. 

This is one of the dearest dogs ever!  At about 9 to 10 months old, this 51 pound sensitively sweet boy was seen by the side of a busy highway, confused, scared, and desperately looking for his person—but he looked in vain, because the person he trusted more than anyone else in his world had apparently pushed him out of the car and drove away, leaving him with a bruised shoulder.

As he limped along, trying to run up to passing cars, a woman saw his predicament and stopped her car, and he bounded into it,  his desperate attempt to reach some security from all he could not understand.  Gerdy was called and took Cowboy under her wing, promising him a new family who would never do that to him but would love him all his life.  Cowboy is a black and white mix, maybe with a bit of Border Collie/Lab  but the rest is anyone’s guess—he is a Designer original with the most expressive face! 

Now neutered, shots, heartworm tested negative, no fleas or worms, on Revolution for heartworm prevention as are all Gerdy’s dogs, Cowboy is ready to ride happily into the sunset with you.

As the song sort of went—“I’m Henry the Great I am”!  Well it wasn’t so great at the time for me—I was given a job in my last home, living in a doghouse where I was tied up and expected to meet newcomers with a growl.  I failed the job miserably, greeting everyone with a loving handshake and a big greeting kiss!  Lucky for me, my owners realized I was a true family dog and happily fired me from the job and relocated me with Gerdy in my own best interest, realizing I need a family life filled with love, laughter, and affection. 

So here I am. Waiting for you, a 10 month old Labrador/Bouvier des Flandres cross.  My fur is jet black which is wirery but soft to the touch.  I have not had much structure in my life, and therefore wil require someone to teach me to be a great canine citizen.  I am very active and love to play and be given lots of love and attention.  I passed my behavior evaluation and was found to have no aggressive tendencies and I will let you play with my toys and even eat out of my food bowl if you like—ha ha!  I would love an active family, maybe with older kids or another friendly dog.  I am neutered, with all my shots. Heartworm tested negative, flea and parasite treated just in case, Bordatella vaccinated.

I promise, if you love and cherish me I will return it ten times over!  Remember—“I’m Henry the Great I am!—just about as Great as they come in every way! 

This sweet tricoloured  female BEAGLE was relegated to a garage where she spent the first 5 years of her life mostly in a cage on the cement floor so she wouldn’t aggravate an allergy of someone in the house!

When we got her she was dreadfully emaciated, a skinnier dog she could not have been. Still she was friendly but badly frightened until she got used to good people being around her. Her only sign of continuing trauma came at feeding time when she ate like there was no tomorrow. Obviously deprived of food, she suffered from guarding her food bowl as a result. It is being worked on with her, and is one of the easiest problems to cure in a dog.

In her case, it is anxiety over near starvation, self preservation & fighting to stay alive.  She is not a mean dog, she is just scared of starvation again. With time and patience, that should be overcome. 

However, for now, no small children until she is confident again of future meals.  Patient and dog familiar adults are what she desperately needs to help her become a carefree Beagle! Spayed, Choupette  has her shots, Rabies, heartworm tested, Bordatella vaccinated, defleaed & deworrmed, just in case. She is VERY loving in spite of her past.

But you can call me Gerry!  I am a happy boy who loves other cats, and I am playful and friendly!  I am a tabby  domestic shorthair about 8 months old, but I am still a kitten in my attitude to play! 

My mum was homeless so  we got taken in by a kind person, but she couldn’t keep us so we are now with Gerdy hoping to find good new homes real soon!  I am neutered with my shots up to date.

Well I am the MOST LOVING survivor of the outdoor life you ever saw!  I am SOOOO grateful to be an indoor cat, I just love to be warm in winter!   I am a male Black Domestic Shorthair about a year and a half old, who was fed by a nice lady for a long time outside before I trusted her enough that I finally went in her home, and connected with Gerdy, who said she’d get me my forever warm and comfy home. 

I LOVE everyone, people, cats, dogs if I have to…I am so social—I make everyone smile.  Black cats have a hard time finding a home because no one notices us, but Mr Social Me comes right up to people to be fussed over.

I am neutered, negative for feline AIDS & Leukemia, shots up to date, dewormed & defleaed just in case, and I am ready to be the Prince Charming of your household!

Harry is about 1 1/2 years old,  we are guessing, and is a grey domestic longhair. Harry has an ingenious frame of mind, being homeless during the coldest part of the winter, he waited for his opportunity to enter a commercial establishment and make his home in the basement until he was discovered and fed, and made his way to Gerdy. 

Harry is neutered with shots, very friendly and hopes never to see another basement life, but to be appreciated!

My devoted owner can no longer live by himself and care for himself or me, and the family hopes for someone to give Big Moose as good a home as he formerly had.  Big Moose is about 3 years old, healthy but a tad overweight as a result of loving indulgences by the man who loved his cat! DECLAWED IN FRONT, he is neutered and up to date on his shots.  Feline AIDS and Leukemia tested negative.

He has a bit of a John Wayne walk,  a swagger, because he has a slight birth defect in one of his hips, but it doesn’t bother him and did not concern his vet.  Used to living a peaceful life with an elderly man, probably would like to continue that lifestyle, so maybe no kids.  Loves to be petted, purrs especially when getting his head scratched, not fussy about getting picked up all the time, after all, he has dignity!  Had his fur shaved a couple of months ago with a healthy coat growing back. 

Big Moose is a very sweet cat and enjoys his intellectual pursuits with style and grace. Domestic longhair.

This girl is a true success story.  Ladybug now has her playful confidence back on track and is truly ready to become a playful member of a family, she has a lot to give and a huge heart.  She wants so much to have her own family to cuddle up with and play ball with in the back yard. 

She needs a cheerful home with a family who will include her in their activities.  She wants to be near her people and not shut away from family life.  She LOVES to go for walks — leash only — for safety, so she doesn’t get lost.  Ladybug can be quiet and yet has lots of play energy.  She would really benefit from a kind obedience training, and being such a smart girl would be head of the class in no tme.  She is SO striking in looks — we don’t know what her family tree is but they sure were well marked dogs.

Ladybug has very kind eyes, loves people, and enjoys the dog park when other nice dogs are there to play with.   She's very devoted in nature and this near 3 year old is spayed, heartworm tested negative, vaccinations including kennelcough, flea and worm free with Revolution maintained. Ladybug is ready to go and give someone a world of love if she can be a loved part of your world.

Bobby is a beautiful 5 year old Himilayan cat, gorgeous big grey boy who would love a spot in the sun in a home of his own. Neutered, feline AIDS and Leukemia tested negative, shots up to date, He is all ready to get a new start in life.

His previous owner was unable to keep him and now Bobby with his huge golden eyes is ready to be your confidante and friend.

Little Mama  is a very good mum, but her baby making days will be over soon, she will be spayed.  She was found, abandoned and desperate to get in to the safety of a home. Just before her babies were born, a very compassionate kind woman found her and took her in to safety, and contacted Gerdy.

Little Mama is just that — about 10 months old and obviously pregnant in her first heat—a baby herself having babies.  She is a black tabby and young as she is, she has done a great job caring for her 4 kittens, and is a very sweet girl. 

Shots, spay, deworming included in her adoption fee.  She has been tested FIV and Leukemia negative, and is vet checked and is in good health. 

Her 3 surviving kittens (Tom passed away) are: 

JERRY: Some tabby with a big white patch on his back.

BRIE: Black & white part tabby.

ANNA: Black & white part tabby, had tail broken at birth as sometimes happens but is fine.

All  are vet checked, had first kitten shot. Revolution and dewormed. Next shot in 30 days & spay/neuter included in adoption fee.  Mama and babies domestic shorthairs.

I am a black domestic shorthair, who has been too long with Gerdy’s Rescues, for no reason at all.  It is SO hard for a black cat to find a loving home! 

Look at me!  I am not evil, not plain, not bad luck—I am just a 2-3 year old cat who was found wandering in the freezing cold of winter, homeless then.  I am SO gentle, that is why they named me LADY—because I am such a good cattie! 

PLEASE, let me show you what a precious gem of a cat I can be and give me the home I long for!  Spayed, shots, FIV/FelV negative, no fleas or parasites—GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY!
