My new family didn’t have time for me anymore, so I came to Gerdy’s.  Everyone who sees me  says that  I am completely ADORABLE and good natured.  At 3 to 3 1/2 months old and 15 pounds,  I am a German Shepherd/Collie Mix,  as cute as pie & nice as well. 

I behaved very well at the vet,  and with BIG  paws, likely I will be a good-size girl when I am all grown up, and I have beautiful markings as well.  I will be spayed by Gerdy’s which is included in my adoption fee, and also my puppy Max 5 & Rabies; I am dewormed and no fleas. Everyone at the clinic loves me, and I hope you will too, and adopt me as your forever girl!

I am a strong 9 month old mix of Black Lab and likely Mastiff—a BIG active baby  girl of 75 pounds.  I am HOUSETRAINED .  I CAN LIVE WITH CATS AND DOGS. I am looking for a house with a spacious and fenced back yard where you can exercise me, I love going to the dog park with other friendly dogs, and because of my size and exuberance—I am still a puppy—I need to be in a home experienced with big dogs and confident people who can teach me my doggy manners—Gerdy can recommend a trainer to go in to my new home for private lessons.

However, if you are kind but FIRM with me, you will see I am very obedient and I will do everything you expect of me.  I am spayed, and heartworm tested negative, have vaccines to date, Max 5, Rabies and Bordatella.  Dewormed, no fleas.  I traveled well in the car going to the vet.  I am beautiful, they tell me, with a massive and regal head, friendly eyes!  I am actually a big sweetheart!  Very intelligent, I just want to please my new family.  Please give me a chance.

This beautiful male Labernoise  is 2 years old and requires lots of exercise.  He had an obedience course, and can walk without a leash (tho we don’t recommend it!)  Gets along very well with cats, and does not jump up on children.  He needs to be socialized with other dogs to learn doggie manners. 

He needs someone with dog experience who can exercise him regularly as well as train him how to walk without anxiety in the presence of other dogs.  This is a beautiful big dog for the right person.  Beautifully calm in the home, and full of love and devotion, he needs a new home because of changes in the life of the owner who now feels she cannot give him the time he needs to be truly happy. 

Neutered and vaccinated, this handsome boy is ready to begin a new life with you.  Presently being fostered by the owner.

This lovely girl was born February 2, 2008 and is 2 years old.  Perfectly a charming lady, she was abandoned by her owner.  This is a very friendly and mature- minded Golden Retriever with great manners and poise for her age, but still has the Golden sense of fun!

Spayed, vaccinated Max 5, Bordatella and Rabies, dewormed, no fleas, heartworm tested negative—what a gal!  She loves attention, and interacts very well with people and is dog friendly—likely could charm cats as well!  A “typical Golden” Sandy will charm you completely with the love and trust in her eyes.

Well, what can we say about wee Mabel?    Very affectionate, she is between 9 months and 1 year old.  She is cute as a button—and very smart as well. This little girl looks like a Boxer shrunk in the wash—a Mini Boxer face and spotted legs!  She is God’s Designer Original, and a GREAT personality.  She weighs in at 15 pounds and is about all grown.  She gets along fine with the foster’s cats and dogs.  HOUSETRAINED.

She will be spayed soon, vaccines:  Bordatella, Max 5, & Rabies; no worms or fleas, she is very playful with a lot of energy but not annoyingly so!  Not a mean bone in her. She was trained at some point to “sit”, “lie down”, “stay” and NO” (in French)

Hello, I am Bear—and well named I’m sure!  Overweight at 145 pounds, I am full of affection, and great with other dogs and cats, and I love people.  I am thought to be a bloodhound mix (maybe with Lab) and I am an easy-going kinda guy!  I was given up due to changes in my owners life, but I was a much-loved boy. 

A handsome rust colour, with trusting brown eyes, I am in good health and look forward to walks to slim me down, and to curling up near you as you relax.  You can confide in me, I will listen to every word. 

I am neutered, heartworm tested negative, vaccinated Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies, dewormed and no fleas.  I will be your own Winnie the Pooh!

This lovely lady is a senior of 10 years, declawed on all 4 paws.  Now she has been shaved, as her fur was dreadfully matted, but will grow out as beautiful as in the photo. She is being given up because of allergies. 

Filomena would do well in a home with adults or older children—she is affectionate and enjoys the warmth of a lap.  Very quiet, calm cat that asks nothing but a chance to lay in a sunny spot  as she daydreams in the comfort of her retirement.

Hi everyone! I’m SKY-- a gorgeous, young at heart 12-year-old Collie mix in great physical shape!  Though I am very much loved and appreciated, there is a change in my family circumstances and I am now looking for a new loving and secure home.  But I am no slouch, I can tell you!  THIS senior is a FIT GAL  who loves her walks! 

I am GREAT with other DOGS and CHILDREN, love my daily exercise playing and I am NON DESTRUCTIVE!! No separation anxiety!    In fact, I am PERFECT from head to tail! 

I have a great character, and I just adore everyone that I meet.  Health-wise I am in tip-top shape, other than a cataract on my left eye, but that doesn’t slow me down. Recently a mass was removed from me and it was benign. So I am well checked out medically! I have always had good medical care!     

I must let you know that I have never really interacted with cats, and therefore I would not be able to let you know if I think they are ok to be around.  If you are looking to share your life with a wonderful, loving and happy-go-lucky gal, please consider me as a part of a new chapter in your lives. 

I am ready and willing to continue this wonderful life’s journey with you.    Wherever you go, the  SKY around you will be filled with love, joy, and devotion!! 

Sky is spayed, fully vaccinated and heart worm tested negative.  Sky wants so much to live her life to the fullest with that special someone.

Little Sandra is about 6 months old and is a 35 pound Collie mix.  There is not a mean bone in  Sandra, who was going to be euthanized at a pound because no one wanted her after she was found wandering.    She is her own little soul, so friendly, but slightly shy—when we saw her she came without our prompting,  right to us almost on her belly, in a juvenile effort to seek out affection-- as once she got close, she gave a kiss and promptly wanted a belly scratch!  What a CHARMER! 

She has the softest eyes possible!  This is a GREAT family dog in the making, a real treasure.  Likely some housetraining will be needed but hey, she’s smart and a quick learner!  Likes people and other dogs, this gal would make a great second dog as well.  Likely would be a cinch to get along with cats who know how to manage playful young dogs.

Spayed, heartworm tested (negative), vaccinated including intranasal Bordatella, dewormed, defleaed in case, vet examined in good shape.  A nice age for puppy obedience training, she should be top of her class!

Ed is a very handsome 9 month old Collie Mix boy of 65 pounds, a large dog but not too large to manage.  Yet he would benefit from obedience class to make him the perfect family dog.  He likes people and seems to  along well with other dogs, we don’t know about cats tho.  Ed LOVES to be groomed, he stood patiently while he was bathed, dried, and brushed out. 

Ed has one blue eye and one brown eye to add to his good looks!  He was found calmly wandering by a man who brought him to a pound—was never inquired about or claimed, so was going to be euthanized. Beautiful long hair and very distinguished! Soft eyes indicate a good family dog.  Knows “sit” and “give the paw” and was clean in his cage at the pound.  Ed is a deserving dog of a good home and has lots to offer a loving family in return.  He craves love and enjoys seeking affection and.  Ed is a very devoted dog

Neutered, heartworm tested negative, vaccinated including Bordatella, dewormed & defleaed just in case, and of course vet checked!

I ended up, in a  pound, a homeless boy with a collar saying “KIKI”.  So somebody loved me once!  They kept me for 2 weeks, but no one called or came looking for me, so I was scheduled to be euthanized.  But Gerdy found me and took me into her rescue!  They say I am very handsome, a male Domestic Longhair  of caramel and white, yellow eyes full of trust. 

I am neutered, now have been vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed (just in case!), FIV/FelV tested negative, vet checked and ready to go.  I weigh 13 pounds,  am about 4-5 years old and I was very loved at one time because I  am a real Prince Charming!  But now I am lonesome and on my own in the world, seeking a protector who will care for me the rest of my days.  I am a laid-back boy, unruffled and stoic on the outside, but a cream puff on the inside looking for love! 

I will be groomed shortly as my lovely coat needs some care after I was out on my own.  I’d love a nice warm catbed near you while you work and I promise I will not walk over your keyboard!!

Hi!  I am very calm, loving, and attentive to those who would love me, and a prize purring machine!!  I am a male domestic shorthair (I PREFER “velvet cat”) of 8 years and I weigh around 11 pounds.  I am an easy-going guy, I am a lover, not a fighter!  If I were human I’d prefer classical music (no opera tho, hurts my ears!!) a good mellow port with my cigar, and of course a wingchair near a warm fireplace as I read a good book! 

I used to be a Gerdy cat—so you KNOW I’m a great cat!—but the people who gave me a home all those years ago are now in a nursing home so I have come back to Gerdy to get a new loving home again, --she PROMISED me someone would love me again.  So if you want a Gentleman Cat, look no further! 

I am neutered of course, and up to date on my shots, dewormed (how undignified to have to say that!!) and (horrors!)—no fleas.  There now, I have managed to say it all.  I have light green eyes and a Perry Como  purr—you can tell me all your secrets and I won’t tell anyone as I am a very loyal boy—please give me a chance, I will not disappoint you!  I will bring you much Lucky in your future!!

This two year old orange and white Domestic male Shorthair has been vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, tested Negative for Feline AIDS/Leukemia, and his vet papers go with him. This is what his lady rescuer had to say about him:

"He had started to hang out around my place last March and was very eager to be allowed in.  Every time I opened the back door he would try to slip through.  When that didn't work, he would sleep on the outdoor window ledge looking miserable and pathetic. Eventually his antics won me over and I took him to the vet to get him tested and fixed up with the idea of finding a home for him.

He would probably do best as the one and only.  While he is far from vicious, he can be intolerably pesty to other cats and has been known to stalk them relentlessly.  He is also given to marking his territory when he is feeling insecure but it is not a chronic affair and a product like 'Mark off' usually does the trick.  A new human companion would be wise to invest in a bottle to use (on beds and sofas)when first introducing this cat to his or her new home.

He's very kitten like and loves to play (he fetches by the way and loves it when I throw him a fuzzy ball that he can easily pick up in his mouth so as to return it to me).  And because he's young, he is still quite a 'busy' fellow, checking into this, getting into that and generally being overall mischievous!!!  However, all in all, he has a very sweet temperament and when he's all tuckered out, definitely enjoys being petted and crooned to."

Moose has more white on the face.

We are two domestic shorthair  males of approximately 6 months old.  We were living outdoors when we were trapped and brought to the St-Lazare veterinary hospital.  We have come a long way because we were very scared of people, having no social contact at all as kittens!  We now love the attention.  We were very lucky.  If we can be adopted together, that would be great because we depend on each other so much.  If not that's ok because we will be so grateful to have a home of our own.  We are spayed, vaccinated and dewormed.

This beautiful soul was saved from a pound where her time was up, she was going to be euthanized.  Such a gentle and loving dog who wants only to receive the affection she craves -- not a mean bone in her --, was one of 10 dogs seized by a municipality from a man (6 later returned to him by the municipality!) who was not giving proper care. 

Goldilocks is a Lab/Shepherd Mix, dog friendly,  and  is very thin, weighing in at 47.4  pounds, ribs showing. She needs decent care. She tries to hug you, she is so loving!    They were the last of his 2 dogs left at the pound, the other 2 were placed  but no one wanted to take the mutts, they were left to die.   

Gerdy took them.  She rode back in the  car so happy to be wanted, going straight to the vet.  There she had her vaccines, deworming, de-fleaing,  and HEARTWORM TEST.  SHE TESTED POSITIVE.  Gerdy’s will assume the cost of her heartworm treatment at our vet.   

It is apparent that she has had babies.  This girl is only about 1 year old, and in spite of all she has gone through, she will be a WONDERFUL family dog for a lucky caring family, hopefully with  a more calm environment for her treatment time.   

She is attentive and very intelligent!  Just wants to please!  Her eyes are full of trust and hope—we will get her heartworm treated, can she recover in a new loving environment as YOUR dog?

Kimo is 8-9 years young and seems to be a SILKEN TERRIER, he is now groomed and cute as a button. Kimo is around 15 pounds and was given up because of a serious illness of his beloved owner. 

Kimo is loving and playful, and suited to an adult home as he was not brought up with little kids, he is nervous of the little ones, perhaps he was dropped at one time. 

However he is a good boy and LOVES his walks and carrides.  He is very much a Mama’s Boy!  Neutered, vaccines up to date—Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies, dewormed etc, Kimo looks for a home where he can be treated like the Prince he is!

A Miniature Poodle the colour of a cup of hot cocoa with cream in it!  He is 9 years young with a lot of good years left—happy, loving, confident, very intelligent,  loves to engage in play, good health, spirited and kind, interested in LIFE and socializing with people and friendly small dogs like him.  NOT A MEAN OR SNAPPY BONE IN HIM!! 

This trusting boy LOVES a good cuddle and to curl up on your lap, but simply ADORES a car ride!   Very patient & good at the groomer.   Mature but not dull of mind or body, this boy is expert at making people say “he can’t be NINE, he seems so young”.  And his walk is that of a younger dog, no stiffness in HIS knees—is yours in as good a shape??  This GEM was given up as his owner is seriously ill and can no longer keep this beloved pet. 

He is neutered, all shots updated, ready to go! Need a little Cocoa to sweeten your life?  Cocoa is the man for you!

Here I am, not a Chipmunk, but a great boy of a dog with pretty stripes!! I am about 52 pounds and estimated about a year old.

Why I ended up about to be euthanized at a pound, I do not understand.  But my time there had run out waiting for a new home, I was going down.   Gerdy came and took me and Bridey into safety. I had my head up front looking at Gerdy so grateful driving back!   

Well Gerdy says I am a VERY good dog and will make someone a great pet.  Very gentle, affectionate, and for an untrained dog I walk VERY well with a bit of gentle guidance—imagine what I could do with real training classes!!  I have a MAGNIFICENT head—they say—so regal and dignified, and gentle brown eyes. 

I try to please as well, as I want to make a good impression and get myself a loving forever home. Good with other friendly dogs. I am a Shepherd mix you can see in my face, but the rest of me is a Designer Original—God had something handsome and dramatic in mind tho, and broke the mold after me!! 

Neutered, vaccinated Max 5, Rabies, and Bordatella like Bridey, with heartworm test negative, and dewormed & defleaed in case.  Fully grown, I am ready to wear my heart on my dogcoat sleeve for you!

And what a nice girl she is, super friendly, and gorgeous as well.  Lola is a BLACK LAB mixed with a bit of traveling salesman GERMAN SHEPHERD, and is about a YEAR old, a very striking coat, Black Lab with German Shepherd brown on her legs, white chest patches!  Was found wandering with no home, frightened,  and IN HEAT.  SHE IS NOW SPAYED and ready to be adopted!! 

Has had her vaccines, deworming, no fleas!  She is exceptionally GENTLE; loves people and gentle children, this tender hearted girl would likely accept cats well. 

What a difference a bit of time makes in  security, love, and confidence-building—Tinsol has come out of his shell and has BLOOMED into a GEM of a little dog—confident and friendly to all, not a mean bone, playful, loves to cuddle and be kissed! 

You’d never know this was once a 2 ½ year old dog who lived alone  in the  garage because of a person’s allergy in the home, AND he is well on his way with house-training too!  He LOVES playing with other friendly small dogs and kids!  He can be a little clown too!  He is a HAPPY DOG now, a NORMAL POOCH!!  

Tinsol had to be shaved way down as his coat was so matted and uncared for, when it grows out again he will have back his soft curls.  A mix of Mini Schnauzer and likely Mini Poodle, he is a joy to have around.

Neutered, heartworm tested negative, vaccines updated —bordatella, Max 5, Rabies, dewormed, no fleas.  Tinsol is ready to shine in your heart!

TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR SWEET OLD JANEY! SHE NEEDS A HOME NOW, PLEASE!!

This is a lovely girl age 9-10 years but not yet ready for the doggie rocking chair!  Her owner is moving and we are trying to help her place Janey before she leaves.  She is used to living with other dogs, was saved about 4 years ago from euthanasia when her original owner passed away—Janey lost her owner, her happy home, her lifestyle—and was very confused and unhappy. 

She is a very loving girl and sweet natured, loves to walk on leash.  Will follow you devotedly from room to room and LOVES to watch you cook!!  (little tastes welcome!) She has no barking problems at all and stays alone no problem!  Absolutely LOVES to travel, rides in a car like the queen she is.  Best feature is her personality—she looks at you all the time and TALKS when she wants something.  HOUSETRAINED, and will ask to go out!  Very affectionate.

I am a dear BEAGLE of about 8 years, who was given up sadly because of unfortunate circumstances.  I am a dear and trusting girl, still with a nice energy.  I love my walks and just to cuddle up with you and relax.  I might be older, but I have Wisdom on my side.  Maturity has its charms! 

There is a lifetime of love left in me for some lucky person!  We can pal together and be best friends, I will appreciate you as much as you treasure my presence.  I have a beautiful , expressively tender face, I am told. 

Spayed, I have updated vaccines—Bordatella, Max 5, Rabies—dewormed, heartworm tested negative, I can pack my suitcase in a jiffy!!

This sweet Basset Hound girl is less than a year old and was rescued from a pound.  Harriet is a jolly girl, who is playful and sociable, not a mean bone!  Harriet is spayed, vaccinated—Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies—dewormed, heartworm tested negative. 

An active young girl, she’d be great with children  or an active person or couple.  A cuddler as well, she is equally at home watching the game on tv or chasing the ball for real!  This freckled tri-colour is a sweetheart, likely might accept a cat with a bit of training.  Not for apartment or condo. 

Harriet would do best with someone at home to keep her company as Bassets are very social dogs.  Can be crate trained.  This girl is covered in freckles and is a real doll!!

Roxie & Harley are a bonded pair that ideally should be placed together. If that is not possible they will be adopted separately. They were raised together and Roxie produced 5 litters of pups with Harley before they came to Gerdy's Rescues. 

ROXIE (Top left)

Beautiful and sweet German Shepherd mix, VERY loving and affectionate.  A bit shy at first but makes friends quickly.  Ideal for older children in family or retired folk or person working from home.  One of her owners Passed away, so she with her mate Harley came to Gerdy’s. 

A dear couple, raised together.  Roxie is now spayed after producing 5 litters with Harley—at last she is retired from parenthood!  She had her Heartworm test negative, vaccinated Max 5, Bordatella, and Rabies, dewormed, no fleas.  BOTH DOGS HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SOUL AS WELL!

HARLEY (Bottom left)

What  fine gentle soul!   Harley  is 9 years young and still has years left to bring a lucky someone joy in their life at knowing this great dog! 

One of the BEST senior dogs we have EVER had, this boy is a TREASURE!  Calm, extremely friendly, unflappable, sociable, gentle sweet soul, he loves getting and giving affection!  Quiet, not a barker! 

LOVES walks and sharing time with the person he loves.  Harley has the DEAREST face with grizzled white giving him a look of distinction—maturity but not age!  He is still sharp as a tack, has his wits about him, smart (but won’t show it  off too much!  After all, he is suitably modest as befits the professor he undoubtedly is!  Great with other friendly dogs, and we believe, with cats.  LOVES PEOPLE!  Gentle with nice respectful children. 

Harley is in great shape and is neutered, all his vaccinations up to date, Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies. Dewormed, heartworm tested negative, no fleas. Harley was taken in one day as he was a found stray, and had a home but then one of his owners passed away and the other could no longer care for him anymore. 

Gerdy’s took him in as he was not ready to be put to sleep—he is an angel that has things to do first and help someone who is lonely and needs a true friend. Harley is ready for a life well lived and wants to begin his new future WITH YOU!  Yes, he is looking at YOU!

Hi, I am a rather BIG boy of 2 years, born July 1, 2007.  My owner had to give me up because of illness, and she felt very sad to have to do so, I was loved. I am a good boy BUT I am very strong, and I REALLY need obedience training—but once I have it you will see how wonderful I am all-around.  Right now I am hard to walk because I pull.  I am just SO ENTHUSED to see everything!   I am affectionate, playful, and good natured. 

I am a mix—perhaps a Lab/Shepherd/husky combo, who knows—but I am VERY distinguished and handsome with a wonderful coat.  They broke the mold when they made me!!  I am a true Original! Neutered, vaccinated—Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies, heartworm tested negative and on Revolution, dewormed—I am good to go to someone with a strong arm, who will train me with kindness, and love me forever.

I have a big name—and VERY distinguished—but I am not a big cat.  I am an Orange Tabby of about 10 pounds,with wonderful green eyes, a Domestic Shorthair of 7-8 years. 

My elderly owners are moving to a place where cats are not allowed, and are so sad to give me up, but had no choice.  So Gerdy will find a new home for me. I am a very friendly cat with sometimes an independent nature, but I would love to sit in your lap for a cuddle.  I would like to be an only cat if possible as I am a bit scared right now, but I might do well with another friendly cat or nice dog.  I am an indoor-only cat. 

I am neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed. I was very much loved, and miss not having a home of my own again.  Can you make room for a gentleman like me in your busy life?  I don’t take up much space and you will never regret your decision!  This is your opportunity to have Tigi Rufus Somerled share your home!

Comments from his Foster:

"Tigi is a friendly boy with a fun-loving nature and playfulness that belies his age. At 9 years young, he is much more playful than his considerably younger cat-mates. Although he does "tolerate" the other felines in the house, he would much prefer to be his own boss, where his human(s) can truly appreciate his great sense of feline humor. He doesn't mind his large doggie companion but he can be quite bossy around smaller dogs.

Playing with cat toys and eating are Tigi's favourite past times, although he definitely enjoys being petted a good "skritch". Tigi is looking for a new castle where he can be the resident King and be regally treated, as he so richly deserves."

I lived a very neglectful life until I was saved from my situation by a very kind woman who took me to her vet, as I was covered in fleas, was all  skin and bone, a dreadful sight but for my beautiful face full of hope. She had me treated for the fleas and the skin irritation they caused—I was miserable with them!!! Then she gave me a very special name, a beautiful name—that of a very early poet—so I would feel special too. 

I am a male German Shepherd mix of about 5 or 6 years and I weigh 66 pounds—I gained 20 needed pounds as she cared for me til  she found Gerdy after being turned down by other rescues. I am housetrained, good with children, other friendly dogs, and cats.  My savior taught me to sit, lie down, and to shake a paw!  Gerdy is getting me neutered and fixed up with any vaccines etc that are necessary. 

I tested heartworm free and am on Revolution. Everyone is amazed through all my misery I kept a hopeful and loving heart.  Now I am ready for the BEST years of my life—a forver loving home with YOU.

Ladybug is an example of a kind and obedient dog who was expected to defend her master even though she was not a guard dog at heart.  A person did this to her and Gerdy has been trying for 2 years to get her the kind of home she needs—someone knowledgeable about this problem and able to give her leadership and firm, but kind guidance—one who will not want her to look after the humans but  humans who will look after her. 

She does not need compliant people who let her do what she wants and baby her, she NEEDS people who can take the leadership role and not push her into the Alpha role she does not want—because it SCARES her—she NEEDS assurance it is she who will be looked after, she does not want to be a baby to her people. 

She needs an Alpha person who has dog sense and will expect her to follow rules of respectful dogdom.  She is about 4  years old,  mix of Black Lab/Pointer we think, and about 52 lbs.  Spayed, Max 5, Rabies & Bordatella, heartworm tested negative and on Revolution, dewormed, no fleas. 

Her first master got her from a humane society in Ontario, and being an older man, promptly taught her to “protect” him on walks and in the home.  She’d growl and people would leave him alone.  Then he didn’t want her anymore so dumped her in a shelter here in Quebec, where we found her.  She is a beautiful dog.  We then placed her in a loving home but the person babied her and gave her the impression she too could not look after herself & Ladybug, so she nipped a visitor going into the apartment thinking she was helping defend the new person. She came back to us. 

We placed  her again to a kind man, who let her run loose in his yard, she figured with no guidance she was to defend his property, so came back AGAIN, after a neighbor trespassing across his yard got nipped. Next was a nice couple, who were so pleased with her but they did not listen to what her needs were, babied her and back she came again, when she nipped the visitor they had coming in on the 2nd day in THAT new home.    This happened once AGAIN, strong-appearing and experienced man who disregarded again what we said, she nipped the pantleg of a guy who entered the apartment unannounced and back she came again!  4 times!! 

Now ever since she has been at our boarding kennel watching other dogs come in and leave adopted.  She is loved at the kennel, and at the same time is asked to be respectful of the rules—which she is.  We feel she is ready to try again.  So we need a kind, firm, Cesar Milan type who will work with her on simple things that will make HIM/HER Pack Leader and not hand the job over to Ladybug!  Like a person who will not allow her to precede them out the door; will step in front and block her when meeting friends while walking her; will make her SIT while they answer the doorbell etc. 

In short—a self-confident person who will REALLY work on rehabilitating this very smart & intelligent dog.  She cannot be The Dog Who Loved Too Much—and be allowed to dominate people around her master.  That is ALL she wants, to be treated like a respected DOG and not a person.  Ladybug has dignity.  But she is playful and fun-loving.  She just needs proper managing and she will bloom as a result.  We see her loving heart every day—surely there is SOMEONE with no other pets who could be her respected Guardian Angel.

A Boxer and a Rottweiler became Baby’s proud parents on July 24, 2005.  Baby was adopted by a mother who had to give her up when she was not allowed dogs at her new home.  So now, Baby is looking for a home where she will be loved forever.  She is a wonderful dog with a great disposition.  She’s friendly and easy to get along with.  She’s good with other dogs and with children and she steers clear of cats!

Could you be Baby’s next proud parent and love her for being such a good girl?  She sure deserves it!  Baby has all the makings of a great friend and loyal companion.

All shots up to date, spayed and heartworm tested negative.

What else is there to say about Edwin? This handsome and distinguished gentleman is a domestic shorthair of between 2-3 years of age.  Sadly, he was left behind in the building  when the owner moved away.  Edwin has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, no fleas, and been FIV/FelV tested negative. 

Edwin is loyal, affectionate, everything the cat lover in you could ask for,--a low-key boy, suave and confident, yet with sensitivity.  Looks , charm, and devotion—he offers you all  this and more in a 14 pound bundle of grey and white coated love.

She is a dear 2 year old Tortoiseshell domestic shorthair cat whose owner was taken very ill so could no longer look after her, but loved her very much. Callie is still a bit afraid not being in her familiar home anymore but is adjusting to being fostered in a home with other cats. 

She had been an only beloved cat so is still not used to the presence of other cats, she would be more comfortable in a home where again she’d be loved for herself.  She is shy right now but is coming out of her shell slowly but surely.  She needs a person who is willing not to rush her, but will give her loving understanding and let her adjust in her own time. 

She will be a very grateful girl for your understanding if you do not push her and will learn that another home has love in it too!  FIV/FelV tested negative, she has been vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and is ready for a new life adventure in your home!

The mother of Ivy, this girl too is a tortoiseshell domestic shorthair, about 1 ½ years old.  She is very friendly, loves to be fussed over but has the queenly attitude of all tortoiseshells—only when she feels like it!  She is a delightful cat, very curious, very trusting, a very nice girl.

She is FIV/FelV tested negative, spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and can be adopted with or separate from her daughter Ivy.  Loves play, and napping in a patch of sunlight.

Is the daughter of Holly and about 8 months old.  She is friendly, and is a Tortoiseshell like her mum, Holly. Would be nice if they could find a home together, but not necessary.  Ivy is playful.  She and her mum were abandoned.  Ivy is a real dear, not a big cuddler, tortoiseshells are more independent and enjoy being around people as equals! 

She is very smart and loves toys on a stick in interactive play.  Vaccinated, FIV/FelV tested negative, spayed, dewormed—and ready to be in her own home!

Her time at the pound was up, she was going to be gassed to death the next day when Gerdy got her out.  About a year old,  a beautiful Husky mix, she is dainty and ladylike, with a sweet nature. Jolie chooses her dog friends, some she likes and others not, so would have to meet an existing dog in the family first! 

She is a picky lady.  Likely not good with cats.  A gentle dog with people,  this is a worthwhile girl who has gone from a terrifying situation to safety and is very grateful to be alive.  She will thrive in a loving home.  Jolie  is an exceptional girl who will “sing” to you when she is happy and has a beautiful smile. 

Jolie is spayed, vaccinated—intranasal bordatella, Max 5, Rabies—heartworm tested negative, dewormed, vet checked—all set to go.  Her beautiful blue eyes will win your heart!

I am a Longhaired Chihuahua, nice caramel colour.  I was found in a small wire cage, left behind a building at a race track, along with Angelina.  We were both traumatized by our ordeal, it was awhile before someone discovered us, and we cannot speak of the terrors we went through.  Likely we were breeding dogs who had served our purpose and were getting on and being replaced, so we were just dumped in a place where it was a miracle we were found.  We were put out like garbage. 

We were taken in by Gerdy, HUGE trust issues.  Of course!  Someone will have to work with me, and because of that I need a quiet home where I am the only pet, no kids.  I have come a long way but still need much more socialization than Angelina.  I was not treated well, and was abused.  I need a person who is not afraid of a wee challenge like me and who has a gift for helping animals in a kind knowledgeable way.  I have great potential for the right person who knows how to handle a dog like me.  I defend myself out of fear because that is all I have known before coming to Gerdy’s, I am improving, but am still a Work in Progress!    The vet says I am about 9 1/2   years old.

Neutered, vaccines, defleaed, dewormed, heartworm tested negative—please be my Guardian Angel.  While both of us are good with other wee dogs, we need to work on our issues as only pets, most likely.  While we were found together, we can be placed separately, emotionally we can be separated.
