I am a black, 4 month old Standard Poodle female that had to have an operation to save my life! 

A pup’s instinct is to chew, but I SWALLOWED! I ATE THE WHOLE THING... MANY THINGS! When they opened up my tummy, out came the laundry; a SOCK, a  BRA, and PANTIES! I had nearly died so now I am with Gerdy’s they are going to look for a SPECIAL home for me and my big mouth!

I need a family aware of what a pup can get into while exploring around the house, and someone who’d keep EVERYTHING put away that I could get into and shouldn’t!  For this reason ONLY, no wee kids who have clothes and toys around to tempt my palate! 

And I will need loving supervision til I grow up and lose interest in my “sampling” habit!  I am used to a crate to sleep in now where I will be safe at night when everyone is asleep or if you leave the home for a bit, I am safest there when alone.  

I LOVE people and am VERY friendly.  They sterilized me at DMV when they removed all that stuff, too!  I have been vetted for my needed vaccines and dewormed.  Right now I am quite skinny, but am being fostered and getting great care thanks to her! 

I have a bunch of Earth Angels to thank for being alive.  AND LIFE IS GOOD!

Lovely and sweet JUNE is a little cat, maybe 12-15 months old. A Domestic Long-hair tabby, she has her claws, and has now been spayed. Negative on her FIV/FelV test. Dewormed and vaccinated. But June had to be shaved as she was full of knots from being outside for so long. It will grow back in, but she no longer looks like her picture—have patience!

Poor June was seen at night in -30 C weather by a lady putting out food for strays. She was next day seen across the street trying desperately to get in one of the flats by jumping on the windowsill, to get in SOMEWHERE out of the cold. She called her over and fed her. Checked with the tenants and no one had seen her before. 

She was likely dumped into the neighbourhood (as a lot of cats are!) and had been there some time by the look of her coat. In bitter cold and walking with difficulty on the sidewalk, June came right over when called. She snuggled into her rescuer, shivering in the extreme cold of that day. 

Now a Gerdy’s cat, June was immediately vetted and is VERY FRIENDLY and LOVES to socialize with people. She had been thrown out like garbage, the fate of many cats, a blatant act of cruelty.

June will be a WONDERFUL pet for a person deserving of her love. Love pours out of June, she is such a lovely nature—a breath of summer warmth in this cold season. June will warm your heart, too!

And what a sweetheart this 4 month old mix of Chow/German Shepherd is!  At 23 pounds, he is a kind and well adjusted pup, who has had a rough start in life. 

We had surgery done on him for broken bones in his leg/hip area—we think he may have been struck by a car before being abandoned.  But the GOOD news is that Snoopy is in recovery now, and can walk!  He is doing very well  and a full recovery is forecast. 

Snoopy will be sterilized by Gerdy’s when old enough, vaccinated, dewormed.  Interested in all around him, Snoopy has a real love of life and appreciation for being alive!

Snoopy being a young pup needs someone home during the day for his housetraining as a pup cannot “hold it” while a person is working all day!  Snoopy is crate trained, and trusting!

Shadow is an AMAZING dog!  Good with kids,  cats, and other dogs.  Sometimes can be possessive of his toys with other DOGS but apparently not with people.

He in the past had frostbite on his feet so can only be out in winter for less than 30 minutes at a time—maybe a good candidate for doggy boots as well!  Hips are good.  

This 7 year old male neutered GOLDEN RETRIEVER is vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, and a lovely nature.

Compassionate Placement

A more compact model of a pure Golden Retriever, this 9 year old very good natured, typical Golden—loves people, dogs, cats, the WORLD—travels well in the car—and is interested in all aspects of LIFE—curious, eager to learn, loves to give kisses!  Nice to walk, and just all around GOOD FAMILY DOG! 

Given up by elderly owner who could no longer keep Fado, this is an exceptionally sweet Golden is about 10 pounds overweight so needs you tio be his dietician and personal trainer—he is about 76 pounds right now, a bit of a Chunky Monkey, but nothing a bit of exercise and discretionary feeding cannot take care of in no time! 

He has the cutest face, you gotta love him! Neutered, vaccinated—bordatella, Max 5, Rabies, dewormed, heartworm tested negative,  FADO is eager to be in his new forever home where he will be loved and treasured for the great family dog he is!

A 6 1/2 year old  BEAGLE, Dudley is very sweet and loving, and is a real Mr Personality!  He is very clean in the house and loves to cover HIMSELF with his blanket to go to sleep!

He loves children, other dogs and seems to like men a lot.  He barks at cats, so not for a cat home, too upsetting to a cat!  Everyone loves him, and his foster thinks that in a 2 person adult home, life would be better for him.  He sleeps in his crate happily at night, doesn’t like it during the day, but will tolerate being in it then as well. 

He has developed  separation anxiety so will do better with a person at home during the day (a perfect dog) while the other works.  Dudley is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, no fleas. 

Dudley being a Beagle will follow his nose forever, so needs a secure Beagle-proof fenced yard—this is not a breed to just leave in the yard.  Instead, PLAY with him to give him exercise, then take him for a nice walk, that is all he needs.  Hounds LEFT in a yard will look for a way out in their boredom.  Who can blame them? 

Dudley is in the 30 pound range, slightly overweight still, but working on his physique with help from his foster.  A handsome tri-colour, Dudley SO wants a permanent home of his own, he was given up because of allergy. 

He has the dearest face—can you be his hero and give him the attention that he craves?

This adorable 1 year old Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua Mix weighs about 12 lbs.  His owner is moving and cannot take him with her. Rocky is sterilized, vaccinated.

He never barks at other dogs and very rarely at people.  Only if someone comes to the door or he hears someone in the hall.  Very GOOD with children, adults and other dogs.  No aggression.  Does not bite or snap and LOVES to cuddle!  Friendly and properly behaved.

He is a very active boy and needs lots of exercise. Housetrained to outside. A family with children and maybe another friendly dog, and someone home a lot to spoil him as he has become used to.

Are YOU the family who deserves a guy like Rocky?

Well folks, I need a bit of compassion here—I recently had one of my front legs amputated because of unfixable damage, BUT  I am as good as NEW! 

Just WAIT until my beautiful long hair grows in again and covers the area, bet you will never notice, because I get around just GREAT in my foster home, I am truly an AMAZING boy! 

At a bit over 1 1/2 years, I am a Domestic Longhair Cat, as sweet in nature as you will ever find, and I get along FINE with the cats and dogs in my foster home, I am mobile but LOVE to get a good cuddle and I purr like a kitten!  Exceptionally loving, you will never regret making me your life partner! 

I am neutered, vaccinated, FIV/FelV tested negative, dewormed—good to GO!  Are YOU my Earth Angel?

This nice Black Lab Cross is 1 ½ years old, vaccinated and neutered.  Nyx is very affectionate and being young, is very active but with a training class can quickly learn doggy manners and become a wonderful family dog. 

He really needs a person who has the time for him, to exercise him and who will be involved in his life and not ignore his needs.  A young dog needs a lot of exercise to run off energy.  He walks well on leash, knows his basic commands, and is quick to understand—he is very smart!   

Sociable with other dogs and would LOVE a stable home of his own.  Was given up by elderly owners who realized a young dog had more energy than they did!

This boy longs for the security of a loving home where he can learn to be the bestest dog in the world.

What a ShihTzu boy!  Very friendly, he is almost 13 pounds of love at 1 ½ years of age.  He was given up due to a health problem in his people and Gerdy was asked to find him a new loving home.

Bernie is sterilized, vaccinated-Bordatella, Max 5, Rabies, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, and what an adorable guy!  He loves the car and travels well.  Likes people and is sociable, nice nature and personality! 

Bernie can pack his bags in a jiffy, he says, he wants his furrever home!!

See Ringer JUMP!
See Ringer SIT!
See Ringer HAS ONLY 3 LEGS!
Bet you didn't notice!

And what a boy he is!  A study in making the best of his situation, being cheerful, sweet, and loving--not a mean bone.  We do not know how Ringer lost a back leg, but he gets around just fine.  This boy deserves a real break too, as he was one of 19 dogs seized from an Animal HOARDER. 

Again, we call upon our Earth Angels to get this boy the loving home he deserves and that we know is out there! Ringer is a little BEAGLE of 23 pounds.  He is neutered, heartworm tested negative, vaccinated, and dewormed, all set to go! Ringer is 9-10 years but SEEMS like 9-10 months! A REAL DARLING!

Well what can we say about Wilma—that she has a WONDERFUL temperament? That she’d make a WONDERFUL family pet? That she is kind and trustworthy? YES! And she is Beautiful inside and out. 

Wilma is about 60 pounds, and is  5-6   years old. She and her offspring, Betty, were seized from an animal hoarding situation.

Wilma appears to be a bit of Newfoundland maybe with Springer Spaniel in our opinion—a lovely face indeed! Very social as is daughter Betty, Wilma loves people and is of course, used to other dogs!  Wilma gets too excited over cats tho, so no cat in the family!   

Wilma has been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, and has no fleas.  A jolly girl, she will not allow you to be in a bad mood!

Hayley is DECLAWED IN FRONT, about 2 ½ years old, born on May 20, 2009. A grey and white TIGER STRIPE domestic shorthair, very attractive. If that is not enough, she is VERY AFFECTIONATE, purrs often and loves to be close to you.

Strictly was an inside cat and must remain so.  She is spayed, has her cat vaccines and Rabies.  She loves playing with her toys and GUESS WHAT!  She brings them back to you because she wants you to throw them again!  Just like a dog! 

A real JOY to have around and would do well with a loving couple.  Her owner could no longer keep her but loved her very much.  Sweetness personified, this cat wants her new home as soon as possible as she is a real people person.

At 11 months old she is a 50 pound mix of  an Akita, German Pointer, Staffordshire. Max weight full grown estimated up to 60 pounds.  She is spayed and vaccinated and dewormed. She is good with kids, dogs and cats. She was adopted at 10 weeks old but was returned because the adopter became very ill and caould no longer walk properly.

She is dealing with some separation anxiety and sometimes will express it through peeing. She loves to play, walks well on the leash. She knows basic commands and is very, very affectionate and loving. She is being fostered with a family and does well with their animals. She is sometimes a little weary of men and never shows any aggression. She is actually very patient.

The family's 5 year old daughter actually likes Cheyenne more because she responds to her more than their German Shepard. Cheyenne was brought up in a loving home and has never known any abuse so she is a happy dog that just wants you to love her. She could learn even more tricks and this would help her with her confidence. Once she understands she is in a forever home she can only get better. She would do best in a home where people are present a lot. She is very social and loyal.

This little girl MUST have a Dachshund- experienced home as she is still a bit nervous as Dachsies can be. For this reason, she needs a child-free, quiet home where she can feel confident and not stressed. 

She is being fostered by a dachshund-familiar couple who already have a dachshund.  Jemma is a standard black and tan, about 18 pounds.  She was given up because there was illness in the family and they had no time to properly care for her and give her the attention she craved.  She is about 5 ½ years old. 

She loves to curl up in her  little basket to sleep! Jemma has a sweet face and deserves to find the loving home just made for her needs.  Ideally she’d love to be the only pet in the home so she does not have to compete for attention, but can just be the Diva she yearns to be.

I am a 1 ½ year old boy, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, no fleas and HOUSETRAINED.

Good with other dogs, I might whimper when you leave but I am  not destructive at all, can spend time alone just waiting for your return. 

An abandoned dog, as a result I am  sensitive but I respond well to kind words, and appreciate a loving pat—I take nothing for granted and am appreciative of kind attention. 

I will be devoted to someone who can be my hero.  I am 58 pounds, fluffy and wispy coat, ears that cock forward with interest,  

I look like a Berger/ Collie or Retriever mix—whatever my family tree I am very handsome and intelligent! 

Treat me gently, talk to me with kindness, and I will love you the rest of my days.

A 1 year old Boston Terrier male, I am a very friendly guy, great temperament!  At 14 pounds, a nice size as well.  I need a special food as I have an allergy, but it doesn’t stop me from being playful and enjoying my leash walks or cuddling!    

I am very social, and have the face of an angel!  You just gotta love me!  I was found abandoned, and got taken in by Gerdy’s.  Lucky me! 

So now I need a special someone who can manage my allergy and give me love all the rest of my life—look at this face—are we in love?

They could be allowed to explore around the home on their own, and not be chased after.  Each  just needs a bit of chill - out time in order to bloom! 

Timmy is a young black cat (above left), who with his black and white brother Checkers (lower left), were fed as stray kittens outside by Gerdy’s aunt. Eventually, they were caught and were neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and defleaed, so they could have a chance at life as indoor cats. 

Either would do really well in an adult home where he could just be allowed to be himself, study his situation, and build trust—each has great potential, and just needs a chance! 

It would help if he was the only pet in the house, but they both do get along with other cats.  In his foster home with Checkers, both are learning that life inside is much better than in the streets. 

Both cats were glad to be taken indoors out of the cold, just a bit of PATIENCE on your part will make all the difference.  Adopt together or separately, a HOME is all they want!

This sweet girl is a female about 1 ½ years old, a mix of Border Collie /Husky.  She is now spayed with all her vaccinations, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, rady to go! 

A HOUSETRAINED girl, Oreo is playful and obedient. She needs space to play as she has the Border Collie energy, so a securely fenced back yard is a must, where she can run after a ball with you. 

Oreo is very affectionate, would do best with older kids in a family who’d play with her and not mind the exuberance, she has not a mean bone.  Gets along well with other dogs.  She chews toys so would do best with a  tough Kong to call her own! 

Oreo was found at a cottage at the end of a dirt road in cottage country, she had been spotted in the area a week before she was helped, and made her way to safety, after going without food that long, completely ion her own. 

Currently in foster care, Oreo is a good girl and is liked very much by the foster family, who recommend her highly, especially to anyone interested in Agility training, she is a focused girl and would do well!  The BEST Oreos are not always in a box!!

And what a sleek beauty this girl is! Discovered up north by a cottager, abandoned in the wilds and nursing babies, she and her brood were taken in by these compassionate people who had other cats they saved and kept from the same situation. 

They kept her until her babies were weaned and later found homes for all the kittens.  BUT NO ONE WANTED ERICA, try as they might to get someone to take this most PERFECT of young mothers.  Erica had done her duty as a mum, keeping her babies safe from predators, and was in the end without anyone to want to save HER. 

She was on her way to be euthanized at a pound, when Gerdy happened to see her in her carrier and talked to the woman.  Gerdy offered to take Erica and give her a chance.

Now we need YOU to help US by taking on Erica into her permanent home.  She is very shiny, like patent leather, with huge beautiful eyes.  Not a noisy cat, Erica is friendly and loves just wandering around the home exploring. 

She will come to people and LOVES a cuddle, but is not an “in your face” girl, she is a real lady!  Does well with other friendly cats and is ok with dogs who will not chase her.  Excellent appetite and not finicky.

Black cats are the hardest to place through no fault of their own.  They are just as sweet as any coloured cat, but in rescue often the last to go.  Erica is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and ready to go, a lovely Domestic Shorthair. 

Will YOU give sweet Erica a safe home with YOU?

This lovely girl of 4 years, is a mix of Blond Lab/Great Dane most likely, or so she looks!!  She was surrendered to a pound because a new baby arrived, had run out of time, and was to be euthanized. 

She is HOUSETRAINED, friendly with people and other dogs, untried with cats.  We were told she is FULLY TRAINED as well.  Rea is a big girl and we suggest no small children that she could knock over in friendly play.  Rea listens well and is very friendly.  A fun girl, she is a beautiful girl in every way! 

Spayed, heartworm tested negative and on Revolution preventative,  dewormed, no fleas, vaccinated Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies, Rea is a cheerful biggish girl who is looking for her forever home!

A neutered male, Gypsy the Domestic Semi-Longthair showed up recently at a door begging for food and shelter from the cold nights.  A 12 pound neutered male, this jet black beauty is about 1 ½ years old, has all his claws but so far has not scratched the furniture. 

Gypsy has a very KIND nature, and LOVES being brushed!  VERY good at the vet during his checkup, vet complimented on his good behavior.  Vaccinated and treated with Revolution. 

Gets along well with other cats and dogs, but will defend himself if needed.  His new family will be expected to split the vet bill with the person ($50) as well as take him for the booster shot he is due for.

Well after 3 years, here I am again folks, a victim of divorce, no more home for Mickey boy!  So I appeal to your heart as I am a DEAR ShihTzu of just 4 years of age, a neutered male.  I am 15 pounds, and very sweet and handsome.  I am playful and social. 

Gerdy has brought me up to date with all my vaccines, heartworm test and Revolution prevention, plus deworming—so I am all set to go.

Housetrained as far as they know.  Nice and healthy, I am a good boy, but see here, this time around I want to be with YOU for ALL my devoted life, being given up is for the birds!  Promise??

I am a black and white ShihTzu who had been abandoned.  I am 7 months old, a sweet and social little girl!  Very affectionate I LOVE to be cuddled too.

Spayed, vaccinated Bordatella, Max 5, Rabies, dewormed. CLEAN IN THE HOUSE! Good with other nice doggies, especially the little ones! I like EVERYONE in fact!  One of the BEST Shih Tzus you will ever meet in fact (if I can brag about it!)  I LOVE walks on leash, being in the car, you will find me a wonderful LIFELONG pal! 

We can watch tv together and I can doze on your lap.  Or watch the hockey game, fashion channel, or Animal Planet—I am flexible!

My name is Shiloh and I’m a 5 year old tri-color neutered Beagle.  As you can see from my picture, I am quite a handsome looking boy.  I am strong, fast and have lots of energy.  I am not perfect though. Other dogs make me nervous. 

I currently live with another beagle and we get along pretty well but if I don’t know you,  I get scared and bark.  Sometimes small kids scare me too.  I am very loyal and have a lot of love to give. 

I would like to live with a family that doesn’t have young kids or another dog.  That way you can spend  quiet time with me and we can be best friends.  I would love it if you had a job for me.  I am very smart and learn quickly.  A big fenced yard would be great too. 

My  family has decided that I would be happier with someone who has the time and energy to help me reach my full potential.   I can be left alone for long periods of time and I never make a mess in the house. My shots are up to date.  Will YOU be my new best friend?

Poor Callie—she was advertised “free” in a local newspaper.   Although her family had raised her from a kitten, they wanted to travel so no longer wanted her with them.  Callie is an older cat, likely 7 or 8 years, who was frightened after she lost the quiet security of the only home she had ever known. 

Callie needs to be reassured that she can have another home in which she will have all the love she needs for the rest of her life.  So for someone patient who will just let her adjust in her own time, she will repay them with her devotion in turn.  Callie has a lot of affection to give.  Her front paws are DECLAWED! 

Callie is a BEAUTIFUL Calico Domestic Shorthair with a distinctively patterned face.  Callie is a VERY BIG CAT, 15 pounds!  Not fat, just a BIG girl, so if larger sized cats appeal to you, this is your girl!   Callie is an indoor cat , litterbox trained, and interested in exploring your home—loves windowsills in the sun!  

If you are looking for a lot of cat to love forever, Callie is the answer, so call for Callie and make her happy again!

9 3/4 pounds of beautiful feline girl, Simba is between 2-3 years old.  She is a Brown Tabby Domestic Shorthair and a nice, friendly cat. Sterilized, vaccinated and dewormed, no fleas.  Tested negative for  FIV and FelV, Simba is a healthy girl , quiet and a purring machine when getting affection—so grateful to be loved and needed by a person she can call her own.   

Quietly playful, Simba would enjoy the attention of a person playing with her with cat toys and will soak up the attention.  Give her a sunny spot, a place to lay in the sun and look out a window—and Simba would be the happiest cat in the world!

FABIO the FABULOUS!  I am a young tri-colour Basset Hound  boy of about 1 ½ years of age, playful and good natured.  50-something pounds, a nice weight for my size.  Although I am a purebred, nature made  my ears are a bit on the short side, but I AM a Basset!   My foster family says I am HOUSETRAINED, and energetic at play, but I settle down and will sleep at your feet for a quiet time, I just want to be near you! 

I have a generous heart and get along well with other friendly dogs.  I do not guard my bowl nor toys. But I am greedy, given the opportunity I will grab your sandwich if you are not paying attention—after all, YOU obviously left it for me!  I LOVE going for exercise walks, and need a securely fenced back yard for us to exercise in, as if I get loose, I am a scent hound and will follow an interesting scent for miles, before I realize I am lost!  

I will go into a crate but I bark at first til I settle down, so if you need a crate, I am best in a house rather than condo or apartment.  I am quite good in the car, my fosters recommend using a dog seat belt to keep me safe when we are travelling together. 

I have a good appetite, and am NEUTERED, dewormed, vaccinated bordatella, Max 5, Rabies.  No fleas. Heartworm tested negative, I am on Revolution for heartworm prevention.  A jolly boy!  Handsome Fabio looks for his forever home, he was rescued from a high kill pound just in the nick of time, as his time there was up. 

One of the lucky ones, now all he needs is his own loving home where he will be appreciated!

For serious bunny lovers only. Please call April at (514) 894-1025

Bella is a 3 year old (approx) Lyon head mix that was rescued last fall when her human sold his house & forgot to take her along.  She and another bunny were originally adopted by that family as a gift for their 2 little girls.  Well let’s say that did not work out too well! 

The family split up & the bunnies were moved aside to a 3 season/storage area of the house.  When our friends originally went to view the house they had recalled seeing 2 bunnies in small cage, when they took possession months later only 1 survived & the condition Bella was in is beyond any words that I can describe (or would want to).  After all that she had been through & still be alive, she deserved a chance. 

My family and I took her in to attempt to nurse her back to health & find her a forever home.   We figure she has been in at least 2 homes so far.  We have since realized how difficult it is to find the “right” home for a bunny. 

I know that there are people out there that have bunnies in their homes & are better “behaved” than cats.  This is the home that we are hoping for.  Bella is litter trained and will go to her new home fully equipped.  

A small adoption fee will be required as I will make sure that Bella is spayed before adoption.

Sheena, almost finished "boot camp", ready for adoption! 

Sheena is a 9 month old lab/boxer mix. She came to the SPCA as a stray 3 months ago and because she is a very active, curious and emotional girl, life in a crate in the shelter became too frustrating for her.

She went to a foster home who found her charming and lovable, but her foster mom lacked the ability to teach this high energy pup how to "chill" in a busy urban setting. So Sheena was sent off to boot camp to learn basic obedience, to work on focusing skills and to channel the energy into positive behaviour.

She is doing amazing with the trainer, he finds her smart and responsive. She is now greatly improved and ready for an adoptive home who will continue to work with her to become a seriously wonderful companion. Complimentary "transitional" training will be included in the adoption fee.

This beautiful girl would benefit from a patient, active, adult family (or single person), a home with a fenced-in yard, and with the right chemistry, another dog. She is currently away from the SPCA Emergency Shelter, in Hudson with the trainer. She can be visited by appointment.

Call Marilyn at (514) 895-5326, Christa (514) 816-2680 or Faline (514) 882-5510.

We have had Ladybug for a long time, she has learned a lot and just needs a chance with an experienced and confident handler to reinforce that she will be looked after and not vice versa.  She is so eager to please! 

Ladybug would be devoted to the right person, her trust level is good and she’d really respond well to practicing commands and being with a knowledgeable trainer/owner in a kind but firm Alpha manner. If you are the Cesar type, this girl would obey your every command, she is so eager to please. 

Ladybug is not a dog to be babied, she has a lot of dignity and prefers to be spoken to in a soft but confident voice. Not liking all dogs, Ladybug can be taught how to dog socialize again by the right person.  Ladybug needs good leash training, and will learn quickly as she is so smart! 

A mix of Black Lab & Pointer, Ladybug is about 6 years old and about 52 pounds. Spayed, vaccinated Bordatella, Max 5, Rabies, heartworm tested negative, dewormed and no fleas, this girl deserves a chance in a pet-free home where she will shine! 

A lot of potential satisfaction for the right person! Are you the human she needs to complete her life?

I can sit and give the paw!  I am a dear girl with not a mean bone in me, a little  BLACK LAB MIX with a very dainty face all smiles and sunshine!  I am spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, dewormed and ready to GO! 

Good natured, I’d love to have a fenced backyard to run in and play  with you.  I am used to being with children and adore them.  HOUSETRAINED, I sit at the door when I need to go out.   I am eager on leash so exercise me first before taking for a walk to tire me a bit until I get used to your routine, I WILL quiet down AND I am very very smart, so if you get me obedience training, I will pick it up quickly and do you proud.

I know I am a black dog and we are the last to get adopted because of Black Dog Syndrome.  That means that black or dark coloured dogs are not noticed because we fade into the background when people look at us, but I promise you I will do you proud if you give me a chance!  I am only 1 ½ years  old and keen to be Somebody’s Dog, loved, wanted, and treasured. 

I am around 40 pounds of love.   I see other rescue dogs be adopted, but when shown I guess I look plain to people as  I am  left behind, always the bridesmaid but never the bride!  Can you give me MY turn to go HOME?

Chrissy is a sweet girl of 6 months, a Lab Mix, playful as can be, very social and a complete charmer, intelligent and kind.  She is not overly active for a pup, and is quite well behaved for her age. 

She LOVES people and other dogs, driving in the car, and especially going for walks.  A big cuddler as well. Crissy has been spayed, vaccinated Bordatella, Rabies, and Max 5, dewormed. 

Crissy LOVES life and all that is alive—even old leaves blowing across her path!  Crissy had been taken to the SPCA with a broken leg but after Gerdy’s took her over our vet specialist found it had healed over with her being a young pup, so no further action was necessary. 

Chrissy is eager to please, loves children and is ready to go to her new loving home!

Hi folks, Shaina here. I am a 5 year old mix of lab/husky and everybody thinks I am really good-looking! I was well cared for by my previous owner but unfortunately she was no longer able to care for me, so I came to Gerdy's to find a new home.

I am very active for a 5 year old and my foster mom says I absolutely love going to the park to play fetch with a ball, go for long walks or to just run around in your fenced-in back yard and play.

I also like car rides and being a couch potato after a good walk . When I am off-leash, you only need to call me and I will immediately run back to you and sit by your side expectantly. Should you live near water, I must also let you know that I am an olympic swimmer!

All told, my foster mom says I am a great dog - a free spirit - who gets along with other nice dogs of all sizes and cats! My only "flaw" is that I pull on leash (my husky legacy).

I would love to live where I can run and play and be your forever girl - won't you adopt me - pretty please?

I am spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and tested negative for heartworm.

I am about 1 ½ years old and a very friendly boy, seeking a family to call my own.  I have a heart of gold!   I have been in a loving foster family for a long time, but I REALLY want to BELONG to someone! Neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed. 

I was originally found wandering as a pup in the cold of last winter and nearly died of exposure. Thankfully I was saved in time by a passerby in a car. 

This is what my foster family says about me:  “Cooper has a WONDERFUL quality, he totally  trusts people although he lacks a bit of confidence, in a new situation he can respond to being scared by running away, NOT by being aggressive.  He has never EVER shown signs of aggression towards adults or children, or other dogs. 

At home, he doesn’t bark or whine and is HOUSETRAINED (some pee accidents but rarely).  Best crated when he is alone in the house, and wonderful at the dog park where he loves to play with other dogs. Needs work on his leash training, but he is a young dog and will learn.  Fast learner, he SITS, Lays Down, SIT and WAIT before his meal and has learned not to go on beds and sofas! Visited people socially and has been great even though nervous.  Used to small children running around and the noise!  

Feel he would do very well in a home with another dog and children in an energetic family.  He loves & enjoys his walks and being social with other dogs. Feel he would be GREAT at AGILITY because he loves to learn and to please.  With patient, gentle, and consistent training, Cooper will become the best dog ever and a loyal friend for children to grow up with.”

Cooper is a mutt—maybe a bit of Border Collie in his family tree,  with long legs—a Designer Original one-of-a-kind!

Hi folks!  My name is Jacko, and it is said I am a PBGV!!  What is THAT, you ask?  Well, it is Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen. 

I am 2 years old, and 21 pounds.  Very affectionate but Gerdy wants me in a home, if children, older ones who won’t drop me, so no younger than 10 for me! Not given to a lot of barking, I will warn if someone is at the door though. 

I am very handsome with a longish white and caramel coat.  Now we PBGVs are nice dogs and get along well with other dogs, BUT you have to be very careful if larger dogs are passing by us guys.  See, we hold our tails high naturally, which is seen by some dogs as a sign of challenging, but we don’t mean it that way. 

So be sure not to walk us too close to those guys in passing.  I LOVE people, am cheerful and happy, and yes, I can smile!  I was very much loved but my older daddy had a hard time getting around so asked Gerdy to find me a deserving home where I will get leash walks, exercise, and lots of love. 

Neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, dewormed and no fleas, let THIS Jacko be the THRILLER of your lifetime!
