This sweet 9 pound female cat is about 3 years old and is a Domestic Longhair TORTOISESHELL,  grey and beige in colour, very pretty.  Minky is 9 pounds of sweetness and gentleness.  FIV and FelV tested negative, Minky is an enterprising girl who went to a person’s back door and begged to be taken safely inside! 

She made her way to Gerdy and was spayed and vaccinated.  She has a lovely nature and will make some lucky someone a wonderful cuddle cat!

Gracie arrived at a woman’s house, as she said, “by the Grace of God”.  The woman had, after gardening, set her garden gloves on the railing and went inside. Then wanting refreshing breezes in the house after a bit, had gone and opened the door. As she opened the door, there were her garden gloves in front of the door, and a  small wet spot of water! “What have those raccoons been up to now?” she thought.  Just then a dog appeared at her open door, grinning happily.

She had never seen this dog before!  She realized the dog had fetched the garden gloves and had been laying at the door with them beside her, panting in the heat (hence the small wet spot!)  There was no sign of anyone when she looked for an owner.  Being highly allergic she could not take in the dog but neither wanted her to go to a pound, so she made her comfortable her in the back yard.

After much inquiry and searching every source available, there was still no one to claim her, so she went to the doctor for a special allergy test to see if she could possibly keep Grace, as she named her.  No, she could not!  So she contacted Gerdy and the rest is history-- Gracie will be spayed, heartworm tested, given Revolution once we know she is negative, vaccinated, dewormed.

Gracie we are told is very good with kids and we find her to have a beautiful temperament, not a mean bone in her!  A GREAT family dog of 52 pounds.  We suspect because she has one blue and one brown eye, that she has Husky in her but possibly Lab in there, actually she is  a pure Designer Original Mutt and PROUD of it!   She is a happy girl who is friendly with other nice dogs and likely would accept a cat.

Gracie is an EXCEPTIONAL girl and we recommend her highly—after all she used her ingenuity to get noticed and helped!

This 9 year old Shih Tzu male is neutered, has his shots and is vaccinated, and ready to go.  This jolly, friendly, and still nicely active boy loves life and is attentive and in good health.  He was abandoned by his family who no longer had time for him and his simple doggy needs to be a part of the family, and  no time to exercise him. 

Cesar looks for a forever home where he will be a part of the family dynamic. This black and white handsome boy likely would accept cats and another friendly dog. Good with people, Cesar would like to be the ruler of your heart. Dogs need to feel loved and wanted, can YOU make way for Cesar??

This older PUG puppy is a wonderful boy, fantastic temperament, a typical pug!  Very good in his crate, he settles down quickly to sleep.  He loves his walks, and gets along great with other friendly dogs.

Beige with a dark mask, he is a  handsome young chap, with a face that will melt your heart.  Active and energetic, he is not a biter or a snapper but Mr Jolly 24 hours a day!  Can you believe it—this boy was dumped by his owners who didn’t care if he died on the streets, they just didn’t want to keep him a second longer.  Well now he is in the safety of Gerdy’s and he will be neutered shortly.  Vaccinated to date.

Currently in foster care where his foster mother says he is well behaved for his age, quite housetrained, loves affection and to play—he has no bad points!  He has Clint’s name and Clint’s wrinkles, but even Mr Eastwood cannot match our Clint’s personality-plus!!

Wonderful Bella is an 11 year old Persian tortoiseshell domestic longhair cat.  She is declawed, spayed, and has her cat vaccines.  Bella is friendly and affectionate, loves attention and is not ready for the rocking chair yet, tho will cuddle on your lap if you are in it! 

Bella needs a new home and is a very deserving girl. She has pride in her appearance and will grace your home with all her charms!

I am a 2 year old beige/black tabby domestic shorthair girl with beautiful spiral markings and green eyes. Spayed and my shots up to date. My mother was rescued off the street after surviving a harsh winter. She was sick, weak and pregnant. I had to be fed by bottle because my mother never really bonded with me: she left for several days when I was only two weeks old.

Over the time, she became very territorial and it escalated from reproaching every move I made to zero tolerance of my presence. She now physically attacks me whenever I appear. My humans have tried everything to improve the situation-without success. It has reached a stage where we are kept in separate parts of the house.

My humans are moving into an apartment, which worries them and me. It would be very difficult to hide from Mommy in a small apartment. I am very affectionate, gentle and sensitive soul who never has a calm or happy day. I am always looking around corners to see if the coast is clear. My family loves me very much but feel I deserve more than a life filled with anxiety.

My favourite pastime is to be brushed and caressed. Whenever it happens, I feel I'm in heaven. I also like to play when I know that Mommy is locked outside and then I play twice as hard to make up for the times I can't. My Mommy is a nice cat but she just doesn't like me. I wish I could have a home of my own! I'm very loyal and have a deep need to be protected and be a true and constant companion. Please give me a chance to prove my love and devotion. My suitcase is already packed.

Hi folks—I’m Clarence, and I have a mission—to get a new forever home where I will be loved and treasured!  I am a TERRIER X of about 10 pounds,  about 2 years old, and HOUSETRAINED. And I get along with other dogs. 

Sterilized, vaccinated and dewormed,  no fleas.  I can pack my bag at any moment to go with you!  I love to play, crazy about people.  Why am I here then, Mr Perfect?  Well, I had a real nightmare time—I was a stray that was never claimed and was going to be put down at a pound in Ontario, a lady visiting the area just dropped into the pound to see what was there—l’il ole ME!  She got me out of there FAST and took me home with her to Montreal  and called Gerdy, so –whew!  I am safe!  Close call! 

I am a real cool guy, but I sure was worried for awhile!  Now I ask you—do you need ME,  Clarence,  to make your life complete?

Hi!  I am 11 months old and think I am a lap dog—I am SOOO affectionate—and not a mean bone in my 60 pound body.  Neutered and vaccinated,  I am a Basset Hound, and  I am HOUSETRAINED.  Great with kids, and I  love other dogs. 

Bassets do best when someone is home with them during the day, we do not like to be left alone all day as we are people lovers and get lonely!  I need a fenced yard to play in as if I got loose, I would follow my nose to China and beyond!  I love to get exercise, can walk as much as you want to,  but will curl up on your lap to watch a soap or hockey on TV—I will sleep through either—I just want to be near you! 

You can put my bed near your computer to work, too!  I am a natural clown, so you cannot be in a bad mood for long.  My people work all day and I get lonely and bored—so they have decided it best to place me where I will have human company that I crave.   You can talk to me and tell me all your problems, I am a good listener and will give away no secrets, your most loyal friend!

Toto is so like Dorothy’s dog in the Wizard of Oz!  Of uncertain origins, appears to be a mix of little Schnauzer and terrier—BUT no matter the mix—this is a wonderful little boy!  Found abandoned, he became a Gerdy’s dog.  His foster mum says he is an absolute pleasure—exceptional with all animals, adores children, listens when called, AND a GREAT personality.  He is very intelligent and eager to please.

This dog has been through a horrible experience and has retained his loving and trusting nature.  A black Flat Coat Retriever Mix of about 6 months of age, he spent 3 whole days tied to a post, through rain, sun, and cold—NO ONE noticed he was never claimed, that he was indeed ABANDONED!  No food, no water, just patiently waiting still tied to the pole,  for his master to come back for him.  He waited in vain. 

Suddenly he was helped by a young man and made his way to the safety of Gerdy’s Rescues, where he will be neutered, have his vaccines, & deworming and a good vet check.  He is a darling boy, at 44 pounds, nicely playful, knows how to SIT.  Sweet natured, this dog will make someone a wonderful pet.  As he is young, best suited to a family who has the time to train him and give him the exercise he needs—home all day person would be ideal! 

He is a very good looking boy and his tail is always wagging.  Likely will be good with dogs and cats, as he is happy go lucky in nature.  Yes—he was named after the man who found him!!

Beckham

These 2 pups were saved at the last minute from being euthanized at a pound!   Beckham and Becky are brother and sister, they are Border Collie mixes about 5½ months old. 

Eager and playful, these black sweethearts are very sweet natured and playful.  Around 25 pounds each, these babies will be sterilized  by us at the proper time as part of the adoption fee, vaccinated, dewormed, no fleas. 

We also have 2 other pups from this litter currently in foster care, as well.  Cute as buttons, with nice temperaments.

Please note: These are a BONDED PAIR and we’d like to place them TOGETHER if possible.  They get along well and are not hard to handle as a pair! 

This nice pair of BEAGLES are the perfect  size, devoted to each other and very affectionate to adults and kids alike, other dogs and likely cats ( tho not tested with cats).   They are BROTHER and SISTER from the same litter originally, and are a loving and easy to manage  2 ½ years old—HOUSETRAINED and well-behaved in the home, we are told.   Neutered with their shots up to date.  Their family no longer had time for them, did not want to euthanize, so asked Gerdy to take them.  Lana is sweetly  feminine and dependant on her brother, he on the other hand is confident and outgoing!

Beagles need a secure, fenced-in yard.  They can never be allowed to run loose or will follow their nose to China!  Fantastic pets for childen who appreciate a real “pal” type dog, OR grown-ups to fuss over and play with.  This pair LOVE to walk on leash, very joyful.  Or snuggle with you watching tv!   Can bark when excited—really need a detached house and people with the time to exercise them and play with them as they are so social.  Someone will get a great pair of dogs to love and get love returned doubly!!

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!

I am proud to say that I am a 30 lbs collie/husky mix pup  6 months of age and though I have husky in my blood, I am more Collie in temperament.    I have not had the best life up until Gerdy took me and my buddy Kevin and pretty Maggie in.  I have learned to walk perfectly on leash, I can sit and lie down when asked. 

I love to play ball and at the dog park I stay close to my foster mom’s side.  I will bond very quickly to my new people as I want so much to be part of family. My foster mom keeps a very clean home which has shown me that they way I lived was not the norm. Now I am learning to ask for the door to do my ‘thing’, food is in abundance and my crate is my refuge when I am alone. 

I am a puppy so I do require some further training but I learn awfully quick.  I have a foster brother named Maddox who is teaching me the ropes, and I am pleased to announce that he has shown me how to use the stairs…up and down.  I am a very happy, fun loving puppy that loves other dogs and I would be great with older children as well.  I do have foster felines that I have never known before, and although I do chase them in play, I mean them no harm at all – now tell that to the cats!  So – I still have my training wheels on, and learning what is appropriate with the cats and what is not.  All in good time I guess.

I would love to start my life off brand new and fresh. If you think I can fit into your pack, please give me a second look.  I am handsome, comical, loving boy just looking to find a special place in your heart.  Until then, don’t forget my name – it’s Stan the Man!

Stanley is fully vaccinated, neutered, de-fleaed just in case, dewormed,  and in perfect health.

Originally a puppymill dog, Wiser finally came to live with a kind woman, but now circumstances in her life have unfortunately changed and Wiser needs a new forever home.  WISER the Pug  is 8 years old, but a pup at heart, in great shape.  

Spayed and up to date on her vaccines,  she LOVES kids, small animals, and doesn’t bark so would be ideal for condo or apartment living (after you make sure you are allowed to keep a dog!)  Pugs are natural clowns, but need affection to be at their best.  A happy Pug is a loved Pug!  A long-lived breed, Wiser would enjoy walks and car rides with her new family, and just being quietly in their presence.

The devotion of these dogs is well known, so if you want a little pal and confidant, look no further than Wiser.  You can’t get any wiser but you CAN get THIS WISER!!

Ivy is coming from a home where her owner has developed severe allergy to her, she is a very loved girl.  She loves to sit in the yard with you on leash, tethered.  If she sees a bird, she likes to watch but not try to chase! She is spayed and her front paws were already DECLAWED. Her vaccines are to date. This beautiful girl is a CALICO and a DOMESTIC LONGHAIR.

Her owner had found her in the Laurentians 5 years ago (she is now 6 years old)--so starved and weak she was lying half in the water.  Her paws were cut and she had a dislocated knee.  Her paws were glued back together and are fine.  The knee does not affect her walking or running but she doesn't jump as high as other cats--which can be a good thing! 

She is a bit of a scairdy-cat and is afraid of strangers and loud noises so needs a quiet home with patient ADULTS who will not mind her adjustment period as she gets used to her new home. Best she be an only cat or pet to feel more secure. Indoor home only. She is very affectionate.  Let this IVY wind her way around your heart!

Charlie is THE PERFECT dog!   A 2 year old Cockapoo by appearance.    Non-shedding, HOUSETRAINED, and sterilized, vaccinated.   He also gets along with other dogs and cats.  Very affectionate.

He likes to play tricks on you—he will move your slippers, shoes, gloves and hat—but does not destroy anything!  Calm and quiet, he will bark when someone is at the door or an unusual sound is heard.  He loves food, so will “hover” around as you prepare meals, hoping for a wee tidbit coming his way.  A very quick learner,  he now sits and waits for his command before taking his meal, and does not bother you at meal time.

BUT he has epilepsy.  His seizures are being monitored AND TREATED with Phenobarbital, it is hoped soon that the medication will control his seizures completely.  Someone with experience in loving and caring for an epileptic dog is desirable. 

This sweet Shih Tzu boy was born in November 2004. He was given up because his owner had no time for him anymore.  His foster family finds him a delightful little guy who can easily be carried around, and is a true lap dog. 

He has a wonderful nature, very trusting and not a mean bone in his body.  Great appetite, loves to play, great with cats and other friendly dogs, but he was actually used to being an only dog! LOVES to sleep on the bed at night and stays in one spot til morning!  Preferably under the covers!

Good dog for older respectful children, not for the little ones as he is not a toy!  Neutered, vaccines—Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella, Heartworm negative, dewormed, no fleas—he is packing  his mini suitcase so he will be ready to be adopted into his forever home!

Jack, a beautiful 4 ½ year old male Golden Retriever, is looking for a new home. He is super friendly, affectionate and full of love. He is neutered and vaccinated. He is an excellent family dog; great with kids.  He showed some initial dominance over other dogs but was quickly told NO and listened immediately. He is good with cats.  Neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, no fleas.

Highly trainable, Jack is 94 lbs and currently on a regime to slim him down.  He does not have a lot of experience on a leash and is being taught not to pull on walks. He will need some patient training to continue his progress. Jack is familiar with some of the basic commands and is learning others very quickly.  He needs regular exercise, play and walks.

Jack is looking for a new home where the family does not leave him alone during the day. Jack looks forward to curling up beside you as you relax and to being your loyal friend forever.

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.

This little sweetheart Shih Tzu girl was going to be euthanized as her owner was moving.  Being 13 years old,  she was a mess, ungroomed -- as she was going down, why bother? -- and the owner considered grooming unnecessary, so just left her to get more and more matted like felt.   She switched her to people food for the last several days as no point in wasting money on dog food! 

When we went to look at this girl, expecting her to be in poor shape, we were startled to see this little girl racing up and down the stairs like a pup, so happy to see us!  Cheerful 12 pounds  and FULL OF LIFE!  So off she went with us to the vet—to be saved instead.  She is in fine fettle, a senior wearing her age extremely well. 

We had her spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and groomed, now she is good to go!  She is housetrained, easy to walk, affectionate—not a mean bone—just wanting love with a smile on her face at every opportunity, a real cuddler!   Her vet is amazed at her condition—such a youthful  looking girl! 

Happy to watch your favourite soap on TV or to trot with you on your daily stroll, this is a fantastic joyful girl!  Very friendly to all she meets!

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.

This is a VERY gentle dog, great with kids, patient and kind.  The other dog from this family was shot in the head and killed by his owner.  WHY?  Because the house had no fence and the 2 dogs didn’t know any better and wandered away whenever they were let outside. 

One day the owner followed them and vented his anger in this horrific way.  He was prevented from also killing Marley in the same manner by a young man who witnessed what happened, and took Marley into safety and they contacted Gerdy’s to take over this boy. Marley is a nice dog, always happy, not aggressive at all!  Good with other dogs, cats, and even parrots!! He always avoids confrontation with the other dog, not protective of his food either.  He has very good recall and is always happy to come.

He will be neutered by Gerdy’s shortly.  Marley was born March 11, 2009—is a little more than a year old. He is a mix of Rottweiler and Black Lab.  Neutered, vaccinated including leptospirosis.   This beautiful and gentle soul will very much appreciate a new life in a safe and secure environment!

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!!

This Basset Hound girl is 2 years old and a lovely white and red. She was abandoned at a shelter and would love a new home.  She had been adopted from a shelter by a family with MANY  young children, from toddler to pre-teen, who used her as a toy and teased her. So placement in a home with no young children is best right now.  She needs to relax!! 

She is not mean. Good with cats, she is spayed,  has her vaccines updated—Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella. Dewormed, and tested heartworm negative, no fleas. Looking for a new dog friend? Someone home all day please, as Bassets thrive on loved people being around,  and crate her while you go out. House with fenced-in back yard is ideal for a Basset. You need Georgia on your mind!

This sweet natured and playful Old English Sheepdog is 80 pounds of love and devotion!  He is about 2 years old, neutered and up to date with his vaccinations. Heartworm tested negative as well. 

Very friendly with other dogs, a touch intimidated by cats!  But curious about them.  Not possessive of his food or possessions and always ready to share.  Full of life, he is an amazing dog in many ways.  Was recently shaved due to being matted, he will look fantastic grown out and brushed by someone with the time to groom. 

Housetrained and respectful in the house, Harley was given up as his owner felt that not having the time to interact with Harley was a detriment to Harley, who needed more attention than what he was getting because of work commitments.

This delightful Mini-Poodle is a soft brown shade like creamy  hot chocolate,-- age about 9 years young. In good health, but poor eyesight,  Cocoa is a nice boy, polite and a gentleman.  He expects to be treated gently and with consideration. 

He is still observant and very smart!  Loves walks, he can see enough to still enjoy!   Given up because of his owner’s illness, Cocoa is neutered, vaccines up to date, dewormed, vet examined.  Loves the car and going places with you, he is the ideal companion! 

Very good at the groomer’s, Cocoa is always a pleasure.  Because of his low vision, older respectful children only, but he’d really prefer a retirement with peace & quiet where he can listen to music, cuddle watching tv, sleep on the bed  and dream about tomorrow!

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!

Amber is a 30 lbs Collie/Husky mix pup, about 6 months old and though she has husky in her blood, Amber is more Collie in temperament. 

Amber was one of 3 pups seized along with 50 others by the SPCA from a hoarding situation and taken over by Gerdy’s to vet and place.  She only knows she is treasured and loved by all of us helping her, and is forming happy memories now she has another chance at a normal life.

Amber hadn’t been out until we took her over, so didn’t want to try to walk on leash nor step on grass, nor get into a car.  Now she can do all those things with confidence.  Amber needs encouragement to try new things while she is still a pup, and practice socializing. 

Amber could benefit from having another dog in the new family to be her mentor. Spayed, vaccinated, HW negative, dewormed.  Sweet girl, eager to please, not a mean bone.  Great for a family dog.

No, not THAT Rambo!!  I am a peacemaker, not a fighter!  I am a 17 pound mix of Shih Tsu and Terrier, 10 months old, and I have a BIG heart!!  I LOVE people & friendly dogs, kids, cats.  I am pee pad trained but you could train me to do it outside with a bit of effort. 

I am very pleasant to be around, not overactive but I like to play.   Not crate trained but my previous owner said I am good in the house, and am no trouble. Everyone thinks I am soooo handsome!  And I am a real charmer!  Good in the car too.  Not a barker. I have a great appetite, and a wonderful outlook on life.

Given up by my owner who was moving, I am neutered, and have my vaccinations, all set to go.  I want someone who will be as devoted to me as I will be with them!

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 is DECLAWED in front and 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.

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 beautiful Black Lab female is a year old and will be spayed soon.  She is up to date on all her vaccines. Shams has a WONDERFUL temperament--VERY GOOD WITH KIDS and CATS!  And a dream around people--great family dog who has to be given up only because of severe allergies, the family is heartbroken.

Shams is a true treasure of a dog, who has so much to offer!

This 33 pound, 10 month old HUSKY MIX is an absolute delight to have around—playful and very affectionate, kind-hearted and loves to hug!  Likes other friendly dogs and probably would be good with cats upon meeting them safely on leash for a first introduction. 

Kevin was one of 3 pups seized along with 50 others by the SPCA from a hoarding situation and taken over by Gerdy’s to vet and place.  He only knows he is treasured and loved by all of us helping him, and is forming happy memories now he has another chance at a normal life.

He hadn’t been out until we took him over, so didn’t want to try to walk on leash nor step on grass, nor get into a car.  Now Kevin can do all those things with confidence.  Kevin needs encouragement to try new things while he is still a pup, and practice socializing. 

He could benefit from having another dog in the new family to be his mentor.  Kevin is neutered, vaccinated Bordatella, Rabies, Max 5; dewormed, no fleas—and is anxious to get on with his new lease on life!

This Black Lab Mix boy (possibly some Great Dane in the family tree) was dumped at night at a gas station, frightened and unwanted and no identification.  He was found by a kind man and his wife, who asked if Gerdy’s could help him get a good loving new home.

He is a very good boy, very smart and very sweet natured, not a mean bone in his body!  He had a small patch of hair loss on his head that is filling in nicely now, NOT ringworm!!    He will be neutered when old enough, he is around 5 months of age now.

Vaccinated—Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella; Dewormed, no fleas.  This is a very sweet and playful puppy!

Hi folks!  Meet ME, a WONDERFUL mature 6.5 year old Golden Retriever. Ah! you say! But is this a fool of a dog? A big overgrown pup?  NO!! I'm VERY good with your children! AND — get this — BABIES too!! Trustworthy, a PERFECT FAMILY DOG! 

My temperament is First Class Wonderful, and I am extremely LOVING! I am TRAINED and able to go off leash BUT only in a country setting or dog park—not just any old place, but you should establish a relationship with me first so I stick by YOU.  Now listen—I need lots of exercise and I LOVE long walks to keep my trim waist.  I get along fine with other dogs but I have not been really exposed to cats.   But I might like them.   

Now folks—I’d LOVE to be in a home with someone there all day, I won’t do well being left alone while you go to work, because I love to be around people.  I am very good  in the house without you there, just I am so doggone SOCIABLE, I will stay beside you as you work on your computer, have your cup of coffee, --how many offers do you have of being WORSHIPPED?  THAT will be MY job! 

My health is top notch and I am neutered, vaccines up to date-Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella; and I am heartworm tested negative, dewormed, and flea free.

It was Jessie’s lucky day when the pound called Gerdy that they did not want to put down this treasure, but get her into a rescue.  None could be found to take her, Gerdy’s was the last one called, and Gerdy was only too happy to take this girl under her wing.  Jessie is a lovely girl, a Border Collie weighing 46 pounds and estimated around a year old. 

Jessie is very intelligent, knows her commands sit, lay down, give the paw, and sit pretty.  She is friendly to other nice dogs, untested with cats but we are optimistic she would be ok with them as well.  She has the most striking orange-brown eyes!!   Loves people, a relaxed dog,  calm nature for a Border Collie,-- a real nice family dog with not a mean bone in her.  Jessie was found wandering a country road, dirty, with no ID.  She went unclaimed until she reached the end of her time left, likely a dump. 

Jessie will be spayed, Max 5, Rabies, & Bordatella vaccines given, dewormed, no fleas, heartworm tested negative.  This dear girl is going to make some lucky family very proud to call her their own!

Drako is a handsome White German Shepherd whose owners did not have time for him anymore.  He is about 70 pounds and is 1 ½  years old.  He loves kids but has never been around cats, so a cat-free home is necessary.  Drako is HOUSETRAINED, good in the car.

He is neutered, vaccines up to date, heartworm negative, dewormed, no fleas.  A handsome dog for people experienced with German Shepherds.  Draco is a charmingly playful boy.

Becky

These 2 pups were saved at the last minute from being euthanized at a pound!   Beckham and Becky are brother and sister, they are Border Collie mixes about 5½ months old. 

Eager and playful, these black sweethearts are very sweet natured and playful.  Around 25 pounds each, these babies will be sterilized  by us at the proper time as part of the adoption fee, vaccinated, dewormed, no fleas. 

We also have 2 other pups from this litter currently in foster care, as well.  Cute as buttons, with nice temperaments.

I am a Boxer but a true gentleman!  Weighing in at 39.2 pounds of muscle and good looks, I am in the Flyweight Division as I am 8 months old.  Don't bet on me tho!  I will throw a fight because I am too kind, it just isn't in me to scrap! But I LOVE my training sessions--a good jog, horseplay, are my favourites. 

I need more work in Obedience to polish my skill out of the ring at walking etc, but I am a quick learner and very smart.  I am VERY affectionate, not a mean bone--so you can see why my nature holds me back from developing my career. Heartworm tested negative, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, I will retire but will referee your life from now on with loving devotion.

My name is Betty and I am a sweet healthy domestic shorthair girl of about 3 to 4 years. I am spayed and have had all my shots. I was rescued at the very (very) last second before euthanasia! If the nice lady hadn't have come to the back of the clinic I would have been a goner the very next minute.

I am wonderful with dogs but a little timid with cats. At the moment I am in foster where I share the house with 2 dogs and 2 cats. There is some hissing going on between us but I mean no harm; I am just afraid. It is normal at first for all new cats til we get to know each other.

I would need a home with space to let me be at peace if this is what I desire. I will do fine with dogs and maybe another cat. Since I am a timid cat I don't think that young kids are a good idea as they might chase me or try and lift me and I am not accustomed to this. I do enjoy sleeping beside an adult in their bed and a good scratch on the head. I am to be an indoor cat only!

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 is a truly wonderful and loving family dog.  Due to unfortunate circumstances, his owner could no longer keep him, so asked Gerdy for help in finding his beloved dog a new home.  Balou is a calm dog, friendly to other friendly dogs, would likely accept cats. 

He is very affectionate, and handsome!  He is a Collie Mix, at 74 pounds, and 4 years old.  Very dramatic to look at—HANDSOME!  And super-intelligent—you can see it in those eyes—and gentle.  Someone will get a treasure in this boy! 

Neutered, vaccinated Bordatella, Max 5, Rabies; dewormed, no fleas, heartworm tested negative, Balou is ready for his new life with your family—he will make you proud!!

This Black Beauty is DECLAWED ON ALL FOUR PAWS.

Lady is back with us as a result of an adopter’s allergy. This Domestic Shorthair girl has been tested FIV/FELV negative, has Rabies vaccine as well as the regular cat vaccination, dewormed, and flea free. Lady was born in 2006, and so badly wants a new home!

We don’t know why this boy was abandoned, but Teddy is a delightful dog!  HOUSETRAINED, Teddy is about 2 years old, and is looking for his forever family.

Eager to please, and ready to play, Teddy is neutered, heartworm tested negative, vaccinated Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella, dewormed, no fleas.  He is a German Shepherd mix maybe with Golden Retriever—such a handsome chap!   He just wants to be your Teddy bear!

This sweet blond American Cocker Spaniel is about 11 pounds, and 1 year old.  A gentle and a bit shy (at first!) sweet girl will be spayed with all vaccines etc. She is very matted and we will get her a nice grooming to make her feel a lot more comfortable. 

Baby Girl was given up because they were unable to care for her anymore.  She responds well to affection and has a nice attitude.  This little gal just needs a forever home of her own to bring a sparkle to her eyes to match the wagging of her tail!

I am a 3 year-old Shih Tsu Mix, NOT a hypoallergenic doggie!  I am 19 pounds, so am bigger for sure than a Shih Tsu, more the SIZE of an American Spaniel—a VERY handsome chap I am as well!  My owner couldn’t keep me anymore, she was VERY allergic and sad to give me up, so chose Gerdy to get me the good home I deserve! 

I am GREAT with kids, friendly dogs, and cats.  Hey mom—I’m HOUSETRAINED too!  I am excellent in the car as a polite passenger, and travel well.  I have no food  or toy aggression, and I LOVE to give kisses—I am SO affectionate!  I cried a bit when my owner went out so maybe not for a condo or apartment, but I was not tearing the place apart with separation anxiety—you might like to crate train me for those times I would be alone.  But please, I don’t want to be left by myself all day!! 

I am nicely playful, and love walks, and just being near my people.  We can cuddle on the sofa and watch tv, or you can take me visiting with you as I am very polite.  If you work at home, I’m your man, as I’d be content to keep you company and curl up near you as you get those assignments done—not a peep from me to disturb—well, I might like the odd smile or pat from you at coffeebreak time!

I am neutered, with vaccines, Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella, dewormed, no fleas, will be heartworm tested in May.

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!

Soon to be neutered, this dear boy is a cross between a Boston Terrier and a Pug—which makes him a BUG?? Spencer is one year old, and loves small dogs, cats, and children!  He does not bite at all and has a very gentle mouth.  His only problem is that he finds it hard to spend time alone, so a  wire crate is essential. 

He will need a house with someone not worrying about neighbours as he is being crate trained at his foster and barks for a bit before he settles down, which should end as he learns to relax in his crate while the family is out.  Cannot be left alone loose as he will anxiously chew.  However, when people are home with him, his behavior is PERFECT. 

Spencer is a little cuddlebug!  Walks well on leash. Willingly wears a winter coat but still does not love his hat and  boots, but will wear them!  He never bites or nips!  Will sleep with you if you want. Spencer does not like closed doors inside, and will ask you to open it!  Very afraid of large dogs as he was badly bitten by a big dog as a puppy.  Very quiet little boy, but in the home he will bark playing around the vacuum or when you leave. 

Spencer had been rescued as a pup and has come a long way in his confidence since.  He is a handsome chap with the snuffles of a Pug when enjoying his walk!  One of the most adorable dogs we’ve had, this little chap is vaccinated Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies; heartworm tested negative, dewormed, no fleas. His savior loved him very much, but had to give him up for health reasons. Your heart will melt when you meet Spencer!

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!

TIPPY, SHELLY, and FERN—were,  along with 5 other dogs, removed from an apartment along with 2 dead dogs, amidst dreadful filth—including feces,  because they were NEVER allowed outside.  Such is the tragedy of animal “collectors”—people who have this mental condition do not notice or care, they just take in animals but are not mentally able to see suffering, even dead bodies. 

All of the dogs removed from this situation had never been outdoors so were afraid to walk outside.  Since then they were all rehabilitated and Gerdy took 3 of them looking for homes.  NOT HOUSETRAINED understandably, but smart and quick learners!   They are as follows:

TIPPY

This 30 pound black boy, being young, is still at the puppy chewing stage so should be crated when no one is home.  He is VERY sweet and friendly, we think would be great as a family dog, he is likely 8 months old or so.  A Border Collie mix mutt—he is active, playful, and full of beans and the joy of life!  His good nature was not dampened by his situation, but he needs guidance in training to walk on leash well.

He is very cute!  Fully trusting.  Will need housetraining, but is smart and will be a fast learner! Neutered, vaccinated Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies, dewormed, no fleas, heartworm tested negative.

This 4 month-old big ball of fur is a Golden Retriever pup. A nice energy for his age, very sweet natured, eager to please little boy.

Toby is very smart and will learn fast.  He is going to be a BIG dog when he grows up.  This handsome blond is a typical Golden already, loves to be with people and lots of love to give and receive.  He is already 26 pounds and growing!  A great family dog for a forever home!

Hi, I am a 2 year-old Boxer/English Bulldog mix, oh I am SO friendly, I sat on a chair while waiting my turn at the vets, much to the amusement of everyone there! 

I am SUPER-FRIENDLY! At 70 pounds,   I am neutered, heartworm tested negative, vaccinated for Bordatella, Max 5, and Rabies, dewormed, no fleas.  Gentle, I will be a good family dog. And I am playful too!  You will love me for sure.

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!

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!!

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. 

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!

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!

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.

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.

As you can see, I am already dressed for the Ball!  I am a 3 ½ month-old Boston Terrier boy, whose owner feels terrible giving me up, but she developed a bad allergy to me—so here I am!  I am a very good boy, who LOVES to play. 

I am crate trained and sleep through the night if you cover my crate with a bathtowel so I know it is dark and time for a nap. I am trained to pee on my pee pad but my foster mum is also taking me outside for a bit. I need more work on poo-poo but I am a smart boy and can be trained in no time perfectly by an experienced dog person. 

I am fascinated by the cats at my foster’s and love their dogs, one of which is socializing me in doggy manners as I was taken from my mother at 7 weeks of age, so I am learning fast polite doggy ways.  I have my puppy vaccines and will be neutered as part of my adoption fee, and am dewormed, with no fleas.  This TUXEDO looks better than anything by Armani!

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?

This delightful 8 year old girl is a Black Lab mix, who is a great girl in every way—wonderfully patient with kids, loves other dogs, LOVES people—she enjoys going to the dog park!  Does not guard her bowl, likes cats, has never been destructive in her previous home.  Never barks at home, only to warn of unknown presence or if playing at the dog park having fun.  Can be left alone in the house while you are at work.  Will stay on her bed until granted permission to leave it, she will obey the command ‘Tapis”.  Good in car travel, content to sleep on the back seat and enjoy the ride.  Spayed and vaccines up to date, heartworm prevention taken as well, this sweet girl was given up because a baby is expected and they no longer have time for Daisy.  Would you like to pick this Daisy?

Update: 

Daisy developed a behavior issue in her adoptive home and was returned.  After some time back with us, she was rehabilitated and no longer displayed the old problem.  She was placed on a trial adoption, that turned into a permanent adoption, and is a treasured member of her new family, very happy, with another dog pal and a cat!  And very loved.

Sparkie is a 4 month old mix of Yorkshire Terrier and ShihTsu—and what a handsome boy!  His coat is a mixture of short rust colour and long black curls, with dark brown button eyes!   He is very well -socialized with people and dogs, and is an absolute darling in personality. 

Barks a bit in his crate then goes to sleep and sleeps through the night -- well -- til close to 6 am!!  Let out immediately, he will do his bathroom duties.  He is ALMOST trained in the house.  He is a REAL LAP DOG contender!  But loves to run around the house with the foster’s other dogs playing happily.  He is just learning to climb stairs.  He is nearly 7 pounds.  Right now he gets a bit car sick as he is not used to travelling, but that should improve with time.  He is amazingly “calm” for such a young pup, loves to cuddle! 

This is an exceptional little soul  for someone wanting a devoted wee dog.  Illness in the family is the reason for giving him up.  This is a boy who will need someone with him through the day to love him and give the attention he craves.  Older children please as he is small and is not for the rough play of little kids.  Good company as a second little dog in the household if the first dog is friendly and playful. 

Sparkie will be neutered by Gerdy’s vet when old enough, about 5 ½ months,  included in the adoption fee. He has his puppy vaccines up to date, Bordatella as well, and is dewormed and flea-free.  Good to go!  Sparkie is ready to light up your life!

Who could have deposited this wee 10.4 pound boy on a golf course to be luckily found, in time,  half frozen? But he was one LUCKY dog, as he was taken to safety and made his way to Gerdy’s Rescues. He is estimated to be a year old and is full grown. 

We think he is a mix of Mini Schnauzer/Jack Russell/and a dab of ShihTsu—but he IS a mix of something  and a dear one, whatever his origins!  He is now neutered with his vaccines, dewormed, no fleas, vet checked.  He is currently in foster care, where he is friendly and plays with the family dogs very nicely; and is learning to respect cats there too! 

His foster mum says he is interested in the cats but keeps a respectful distance as the cats are giving him a reminder if he forgets and curiosity gets his nose too close.  He is very social with people, friendly, an extrovert.  He seems housetrained as he has had no accidents so far.  Not a barker!  Nicely behaved, playful.  Does well in his crate at night or if left alone for a bit.

His funny curled tail  looks like a spiked ostrich feather! Go ahead, be a Big Kid playing with YOUR own Slinky!

I am writing you for some help. I live in the country and work at a vet clinic. Just before the holidays a stray was brought to the clinic found wandering the streets. Being the 24th of December, the clinic was just about to shut down for the holidays, and a foster home was needed. I took "Zorro" home, and since then, have been trying in vain to re-home him.

Yes, he is a PIT BULL, about 2 years old, and weighs approx 50 pounds, but oh my gosh, as sweet as pie!! I had no idea they were so GENTLE!   In my opinion, he has gotten lost as opposed to being abandoned, but no one has claimed him. He spent Christmas with us, and even made it into all the photos!!! My 2 nephews, aged 15 and 18 enjoyed him thoroughly, as he is very affectionate and LOVES TO BE PETTED, to the point where he will grab your arm and pull it towards him to get you to pet him!

He travels perfectly in a car wearing a seat belt, and as you can see from the attached photo, he is so PASSIVE!  Not a mean bone!   Found out he loves to get up on the couch, as opposed to his bed on the floor. He's NEUTERED and has been TRAINED, (no house soiling and even asks for the door!) and listens very well. Cats are definitely NOT in the cards for him!!! Because of this, no dogs smaller than him should be in the home either. 

Without a doubt he is strong, but I am using a Halti with him and it works fabulously.  Because he has immense strength, not recommended for kids under 15 years old as they’d have difficulty walking him.  Zorro was clearly loved at some point in his life and well raised.  Can YOU be his new loving family?

Dooby is a slight 8 month old Oriental Red who for a better name should have been called ‘Flip Flop’.  His previous owners were no longer interested in having him due no time to love him.  Dooby has not only expressive blue eyes, but he has a human like quality as seen in most Orientals. 

He is talkative, friendly and very affectionate who flops on the floor for affection, grooming and petting time.  He is such a wonderful and loving boy who is not only beautiful from the outside, but he has the insides to match.  Dooby is presently living with 5 feline friends which he adapted to almost immediately. 

He also is being quietly introduced to his canine foster mates as he has not been socialized with dogs fully but he is making amazing progress.  He has no aggressive tendencies with people, cats and dogs and will integrate beautifully with any loving FOREVER family.  Dooby is a wonderful example of the Oriental temperament and those who love this breed would appreciate his gentle and loyal nature.  

Dooby has been neutered, FIV/FelV tested negative, dewormed, no fleas, vaccinated, and vet checked. One conversation with Dooby and your heart will be filled with joy, admiration and endless comical entertainment.  Quickly make an appointment to meet Dooby, as this boy is unique and a real ‘one of a kind’.

Jasmine needs a home.  She has lived  15/16  YEARS already, and is not ready to leave this world.  Yet her owner has given her until the beginning of February to find a new home or be euthanized.

Age is no reason for this, Jasmine is happy and healthy, and has been a lucky cat to be so  long-lived.  Yet now her owner doesn’t want her, so someone who knows Jasmine WELL  is trying to save her life—she has until FEBRUARY 1  to find her a new home—and  needs someone who is willing to provide Jasmine with nothing more than security and warmth and love in her senior years, and nice soft food.

Well here I am and what a movie-worthy  adventure getting here—I used up several of my 9 lives I am sure!!  First of all I was born in a Cree village up on James Bay.  But my owner didn’t want me to grow up, and when I was no longer a tiny helpless kitten,  I got dumped on the street when  my person got herself another wee kitten! 

So there I was, abandoned and  alone on the street. A man saw me being abused by some cruel boys on the street  and took me away from them  and had me flown to the security of his home in the  Montreal area.  Now they are seeking a home for me where I will be loved forever.  A condition of getting me will be that I will be spayed!!  I am now dewormed and will be getting my shots soon.

What more could you ask—I am about 5 months old, a sweet Domestic Shorthair female kitten—you should see me play so happily with my toys—I never had a toy before!  I am good with other cats, great with kids and could get used to a nice dog.  I ‘d LOVE to sit with you, and get petted.  But most of all I’d LOVE to watch you work on the computer.  Can you grant  me my fondest wish?  Being loved forever after?

Maddy was  helped by Santa and is being kept by the family who rescued her, for a forever loving home—in the end they could not part with her!

This sweet dear girl will be spayed shortly.  Like Goldilocks, she was the other pound dog left to be euthanized as her time was up with no takers, originally owned by the same person.   

Alice is rather petite at 30.2 pounds and has the look of a juvenile, but is really about 1 ½ years old.  Very trusting, dog friendly, she too would make a wonderful family pet, not a mean bone in her, she has maintained her trust in people as well and is also like Goldilocks, very friendly.  Alice is a German Shepherd Mix with a great personality.   

She will be spayed very shortly, has her vaccines as well—Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies as we give all our dogs, heartworm tested NEGATIVE, dewormed & defleaed in case.  Can you give Alice her Wonderland at your home forever?

Bugsy is a Pug of about 6 months, weighing 16.2 pounds.  He is very friendly, being neutered shortly, has Max 5 vaccine, along with Bordatella & Rabies, vet checked.  Sweet personality, and he loves the car! 

All the best Pug traits, and  he has a face that charms everyone!  Not a mean bone!  Bugsy just wants a secure and loving home with you forever.  A true charismatic kind of guy who loves being with people!

I’m not Bob the Builder, I’m Bob the Beagle—but you can call me Bob!  I am a sporty beagle, I am about 3 years old and have energy to play ball with you in the yard—fenced securely tho as we Beagles are great escape artists who follow our nose and keep on going!  So don’t let me loose outside ever!  

I am a sociable chap, a tiny bit overweight but exercise will take care of all that in no time.  I like kids and grown-ups alike!  I guess I could learn to like a cat as well.  But I like a “down” time too, I can curl up beside you as WE read a book, or look at you worshipfully if that would make you happy. 

I am always cheerful!  Neutered, vaccines—bordatella, Max 5, Rabies—heartworm tested negative, dewormed, no fleas—I am ready to be Bob My Buddy, soon!

What do you call a mix of Miniature Pinscher and Miniature Poodle?  ME!!  All 17 pounds of me!  At  1 ½ years old, I am full grown, and am a great size to play with and handle easily on walks. 

A rich butterscotch and caramel colour, I have the hair of the poodle but it is fluffy, not curled.  I am not a hypoallergenic dog because of my mix, but I do not shed too much.  I LOVE my toys.  I am crate trained as well, and I like kids and meeting other friendly dogs.  I am SO handsome with a face that invites smiles from everyone.  Active, I enjoy my walks and playing with my toys that you can throw for me.  

Neutered, vaccines up to date—bordatella, Max 5, Rabies—heartworm tested negative, dewormed, I am good to go!   My owner could no longer keep me, so I am looking for a forever family of my own—are YOU the one for me? 

Compassionate Placement

This girl has spunk and thinks that even tho she is 3 legged (1 missing on the back) someone will want her!  This girl was found outside, fending for herself. A skinny 7 pounds, and still a baby at about 11 months, this domestic longhair tortoiseshell  gets around amazingly well and is a real survivor.  She needs to be built up with good food and given the security of lots of devotion. 

She has been spayed, FIV/FelV tested negative, dewormed, no fleas, vaccinated, and vet checked. She has had a rough time of it, as you can imagine.  Is there an Angel out there for Jenny to love forever? She is a small cat and won’t take up much room, but her heart is huge with hope.

This BORDER COLLIE is 6 months old, neutered, vaccinated.  His owner was unable to keep him anymore, so asked Gerdy’s to get him a good home. 

Exceptionally calm for a Border Collie, but still playful and very intelligent, this boy is a real charmer!  Good natured, good with other dogs as well, he will make a loyal companion to some deserving family.  A REAL NICE DEAR BOY!

This pup is a Black Lab Mix about 4  months old, who was found alone in a parking lot and unclaimed at a pound where he was taken.   Bart is about 17 pounds and HAS THE BLUEST EYES WE HAVE EVER SEEN!!   

He is a fine pup, very friendly and sociable, likes other dogs.  Great with people.  Curious, loves to be held, and is not a barker so far.  What a striking face!!  An all around good pup. 

Neutering and puppy vaccines included in adoption fee, dewormed, no fleas, vet examined.  He is going to be a handsome dog when grown.  Webbed feet of the Lab.

This lovely exceptional lass was to be euthanized at a pound the next day-- her time had run out, as she was unclaimed after being found wandering in the community helpless and cold. 

Colleen is a BORDER COLLIE MIX, and has ALL the charm and intelligence of the breed—friendly, sociable, kind to other dogs, especially  fellow pound pup Bart Simpson, to whom she was quite motherly as well! Colleen is going to make someone a fantastic family dog!!

She weighs 43 pounds and is estimated to be about 2-3 years old at the most.  A treasure of a girl, she is spayed, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, no fleas, vaccinated Rabies, Bordatella, and Max 5, vet checked. 

Everyone’s gentle friend COLLEEN can already sit and shake a paw—and her Irish eyes are definitely smiling!

This year old Shih Tzu mix is very loving and is an interested, active little boy who is neutered, vaccinated—Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies; heartworm tested negative, dewormed, no fleas—this dog has only one fear—coming out of his crate, he does not like to be physically taken out.  This is a new activity and likely will stop if he merely is allowed to leave the crate on his own, or baited out with a treat. Also, given the opportunity he will eat his stool, so it just needs to be removed as soon as done. 

There are simple ways of dealing with that habit as well to discourage it.  This is a very loving little dog of about 14 pounds, cute as can be.  Neutered, vaccinated—Max 5, rabies, bordatella—dewormed, heartworm tested negative and on heartworm preventative—Maxie was given up because of lack of time anymore.

NOTE: Not a Gerdy’s cat, inquiries will be put in touch with owner:

Charlotte is a semi long hair black ebony girl of six years. Because of allergy she is seeking a new forever home. Her eyes are wide bright pale greenish-yellow. She is definetely affectionate, likes to be close by her person. She is semi independant and quiet; she would not jump on your lap but comes next to you, rolls on her side to be petted and then purr softly. She likes to be in the room with you rather than be on your lap—great for someone working from home!! 

She has been through enough in her life!  2 ½ years ago she was rescued from a bad situation, she had been malnourished and mistreated.  At that time she developed a liking for TOMATOES that had been left out in a basket—it was the only food she survived on just before her rescue.  Charlotte is sort of shaped like a Main Coon, with fluffy hair and a bushy tail.  To give her a face a saucy and amusing expression, she has one canine tooth slightly longer than the other—a very cute feature. 

DECLAWED by the previous owner, she must be an indoor cat, though he put her out to fend for herself when absent for long periods from the home, how helpless that made her!!  Charlotte is spayed, will be vaccinated, dewormed & defleaed  at vet by present owner at his expense before she is placed.

She is a 4 month-old kitten found on a balcony, all alone and hungry.  She is being vetted.  She is a Domestic Shorthair, very kind and sweet as she is described to us.  We will refer any inquiries we get direct to the person caring for her, she is not a Gerdy’s cat.

Chelsey is a gorgeous, petite 3 year old female collie X husky.  Chelsey’s background story is a mystery filled with questions but we can start by what we know. Chelsey was ‘used’ by a puppymill breeder – this we know as she was surrendered to a pound.  Her disposition and temperament however tells another story. 

Chelsey is a friendly girl who knows her basic commands.  This indicates that she was once  owned by someone before she was used for breeding.  She has a kind and gentle demeanor however there are signs of physical abuse as she will cower when voices are raised or there is fast hand movements. 

Regardless of her disturbing past, Chelsey is a loving girl that will do anything to please her people.  She has shown forgiveness and also shows an incredible enthusiasm to continue her life’s journey on the right paw.  Chelsey is looking for a family that is gentle, loving and also energetic.  She is looking for that special someone that will provide her with security and re-enforce that she is now safe and will be loved from this day forward.  Chelsey also is good with other canine companions but has not been cat tested.

This girl deserves the very best…..and she will finally get that opportunity to show the world that she has survived, has forgiven, and is ready to move on.

Brother and sister kittens:

Born July 19 2009, were given their first vaccination September 10 along with their first deworming pill. Their mother was a stray who moved into a compassionate woman's back yard, pregnant, looking for food and safety.

After gaining Mum's trust by being fed morning and night, she was brought in and housed in the safety of a bedroom a week before she gave birth, so the kittens were born indoors.  (Mum and a 3rd kitten were subsequently adopted!)  Mum was tested for Feline AIDS/Leukemia which was negative and was vaccinated--all were deemed by vet healthy.

Snow White

The first to do everything -- she was the first out of the 'nest' her mother and benefactor created for them, the first to figure out what to do in a litter box and the first to stick her tiny face in her mother's food bowl to begin the weaning process.  She loves to play and is especially good at hopping and jumping.

Pinocchio

Her brother is also a want-to-be trampoline artist and is likewise a consummate hopper and jumper (he really does belong in a circus); he is a little more laid back than his sister however and is more inclined to stay still for a brief moment for a quick belly rub although little sister certainly enjoys a chin scratch or two (in between hops!).

This little Domestic Shorthair is desperate for help in getting a home.  She is spayed and vaccinated, comes when called, and is a 5 month old baby living outdoors being watched over by a kind woman and fed. 

She needs a home soon!  She’d love to be inside NOW but has had no luck in finding someone to take her in.  If you can help this homeless girl, please contact us and we will pass it along to the woman caring for her outside. 

Our own space is maxed out—let’s get this girl a safe and loving home as an INDOOR-only cat please, as soon as possible!

This enterprising boy needed help when he found himself homeless and wandering along a  country road.  His feet were sore & he was hungry, so he went to the nearest door along his journey and asked to go in!  One look at his dear and expectant,  about 7 year old face, and the kind woman called Gerdy.  

Wearing no collar or ID,  he soon found himself at Gerdy’s Rescues getting the full treatment—heartworm test (negative) and now on Revolution preventative, Max 5 & Bordatella vaccines, plus Rabies, dewormed, defleaed, and neutered—all set for adoption!  

We don’t quite know his family tree, he is not a big boy, he is about 34 pounds.  He LOOKS like Spitz/Border Collie/shepherd mix with a stretch of the imagination—an artist original!!   He has an old injury on one of his rear paws that was treated with antibiotics, but now he walks well. Rides very well in the car, obedient, and well-behaved.  This traveler wants to settle down with you!

Flea was born March 20, 2009 and is now 6 month old.  The owner couldn’t keep her anymore so asked Gerdy to find her a good home, this was a loved dog.

FLEA is a silver shadowed brown Husky, perhaps a mix.  She will not be a large dog, just a nice manageable size!  She has a very sweet nature, is kind and loving, interested in getting affection most of all. Very graceful, and feminine.

Flea is spayed, vaccinated Max 5, Bordatella, and Rabies, dewormed,-- no fleas on Flea!  She is beautiful both inside and out and a real charmer, with her liquid brown eyes and intelligent face.

This is an exceptionally colorful  girl, petite, with a completely charming personality, and very loving. A Domestic Tabby Longhair, she was saved from an Industrial site where she was living in cold and hunger with no shelter.  She is around a year old maybe, and so affectionate in spite of what she went through. 

Feline FIV/Leukemia tested negative, spayed, shots, no fleas or parasites, Beautiful Betty is ready to be your forever companion.

Hello everyone!  I am only 10 months old and I am SUCH a nice girl, and a good looker too!!  I am a mix of Papillon / Pekingese and I have the best features of each of my parents!  I am NOT a barker really, well I can bark a bit if I am excited seeing another dog to play with but otherwise I am quiet indoors.  Well tempered, very socialized, a real cuddler, great to walk—THAT’s ME! 

Spayed, heartworm tested negative and on Revolution, vaccines Max 5, Bordatella, Rabies up to date, dewormed, no fleas, I am very intelligent and quick to bond to loving people.  And I have the biggest SMILE!!  Just for YOU!

A wonderful girl—kind, gentle & loving!  Ideal family dog without a mean bone in her body. Good with other dogs and enjoys playing.  Her favourite thing is to snuggle up under the duvet, day or night!!  She would not be an apartment or condo dog as she will bark if excited playing or hears an intriguing noise outside. 

Not crate trained but would benefit from the use of one—however she is FULLY HOUSETRAINED and only chews things you give her to chew!  About 30 pounds, she is a nice manageable size to cuddle and snuggle with, loves children—untried with cats.  Responds inside the house to basic commands –sit, stay etc but forgets when outside, so needs obedience training—would benefit from classes.  Fairly good on leash, pulls a bit but as she is easy to handle will not pull a person off balance.  If she got loose would not have the sense to stay, but would run and get lost. 

So needs a secure home and securely fenced yard ideally.  Baileys is about 3 years old and is a mix of German Shepherd (stretching your imagination because of the smaller size!) and whatever her travelling salesman of a dad was.  Smooth, mellow and soft—just like her namesake, Baileys Irish Cream! 

Spayed, Vaccines updated—Bordatella, Max 5, and Rabies, heartworm tested negative, on Revolution heartworm preventative, dewormed, no fleas, and ready to be enjoyed any time of the day or night!

Abandoned by his family, Wally is a mix of Black Lab / Spaniel,  we think.  He is a very handsome young boy of  8  months.  Very social, Wally likes children and would likely be ok with cats, tho not tried with them. Wally is about 34 pounds. 

An idea family pet, Wally could benefit from a basic obedience course in walking to make him perfect.  He can sit on command and shake a paw.  Not a mean bone in him, he is very trusting. 

Wally is now neutered, heartworm tested negative, vaccinated—Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella; on Revolution heartworm preventative, flea & parasite free. 

WHERE’S WALLY?   He could be forever in your home and heart!

At 7 years old, this wonderful-in-every-way yellow LAB is a family’s dream dog!!  Jasper is the most fun-loving, playful, GENTLE dog who is happiest just being beside you as you pet him.  He is thrilled to see you as you come home and makes you feel that you are the most valued person in the whole world!   HAS NO SEPARATION ANXIETY.  Vet examined recently, no medical problems, in fine shape.  EXCELLENT WITH CHILDREN!!

Friendly with other dogs, he is NOT AGGRESSIVE at all.  Backs off if another dog threatens him.  He LOVES PEOPLE SO MUCH!  When they come to the door he barks, but when they enter he sniffs & licks them.  His WORST trait is that he will buzz around the table as you eat, trying to put a paw in your lap to coax you to donate something to him, but even that is not pushy!  When walked he pulls a little but can be corrected easily with practice. He JUST LOVES TO BE LOVED—that is Jasper! 

He is neutered, up to date on vaccines Rabies, Max 5, Bordatella; heartworm tested negative and on preventative, no fleas, dewormed and good to go. 

LOVES THE CAR DRIVES!!  This is the most perfect all around family dog.  He was going to be sent to a pound and we just couldn’t let that happen—so here is your golden opportunity!  JASPER!!

This beautiful and sweet Black Lab mix is 49 pounds of love, and is about 2 years old.  Found by a man driving along a country road, she was laying in the middle of the road, too exhausted to get up.  Very skinny and full of fleas, she had to be carried to his car.  She had given birth to pups, but were nowhere to be seen. Likely the pups were kept for selling and she was discarded to die. 

He brought her home, bathed her and treated her with his own dog’s Revolution to deflea her and fed her for a month to put some weight on her.  During this time, he tried to find someone to take her.  They taught her to sit, lay down, and shake a paw.  She loves the car, will sit quietly on the seat looking out the window. 

This is one of the best behaved dogs we have ever had!  They could not keep her so contacted Gerdy’s when they felt she was ready to have a home of her own.  She will be spayed shortly, given vaccines Max 5, Bordatella, and Rabies, dewormed—she is all set for her forever home once the spay is done shortly. A gentle name for a gentle girl—this is a dog in a million!

5 month  old caramel colour Cocker Spaniel pup, very cheerful, he weighs about 14 pounds now, will be a small spaniel when full grown we think.  Typical active Cocker, not snappy, very sweet, loves to play. 

Absolutely so handsome!  This pup was given up because of no time.  Dewormed, puppy shots, will be neutered by us, dewormed, no fleas.  Not a mean bone—great pet for older kids.  Not a dog to be left alone all day—too young!  What an opportunity for Cocker admirers!!

This Chocolate Lab is a 10 month old happy bundle of young energy who needs kind training for manners—he is a work in progress—and will make someone who invests the time, care, and attention this boy truly merits, a wonderful dog!  He will be a masterpiece under the right person for him.  He needs kind discipline as his previous owner was older and realized he should not have got a wee  energetic pup after all! 

This dog would likely benefit from being taught doggy manners as well by a well grounded, kind, and adult dog his size.  Coco is VERY loving and needs space to run off his energy.  Definitely for older kids, little ones he would bowl over in his happiness!  A person used to handling big dogs on leash would be best, but he is also trained to Gentle Leader we understand. He is VERY smart and with proper guidance will settle down well.   

Neutered, vaccines to date, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, no fleas, this Chocolate is irresistible!

Jack is a Mini-Pomeranian, a little fluffy guy.  He was born June 21 2008 so is around a year old.  Jack is from a shelter and was a frightened wee boy but is coming along now in foster care and getting back his confidence.  Jack is scheduled to be neutered, is heartworm free, and on Revolution as a preventative.

He is vaccinated Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella. Dewormed, and flea free.  Loves to walk on leash.  Would do best in an adult home with gentle people.  He is a handsome little chap, with an eager little face, very intelligent.  He will love a secure and calm home with people who talk to him, as he loves to listen to conversations hopefully with the words “walk”  or “food”.   

This dear chap would enjoy being cuddled as well!

Jasper is a 4 year-old male mix of Beagle and German Shepherd!  Looks like a smaller version of a shepherd!  He is good with kids, non-destructive, with lots of energy to play!  He will bark to let you know there is someone at the door, but will not bite visitors or anyone!  He is quiet and good-natured, and doesn’t mind being alone all day while his person is at work. He has not been around other animals other than a female dog and we don’t know his response to cats; so we suggest no cats.  He is a beautiful black and beige, highly intelligent and a good learner. 

He is neutered, heartworm tested negative, vaccinated Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella, dewormed and no fleas.  Jasper is ready to join a new household, he lost his old home due to family circumstances.  Dapper Jasper is ready to be loved again!

These 2 sisters were placed on the doorsteps of a private home in the owner’s absence in July of 2008. Kind people have been trying to find a home ever since for them and have asked us for help.  GEMINI is a tortoise-shell shorthair, and IRIS is a tabby shorthair. 

Both are now SPAYED, with up to date vaccinations. They are a pair of BEAUTIFULLY MARKED 7 month olds, and of wonderful character as well.

These 4 young cats are about 5 months old. They were found by chance,  huddled together with no mother, under a balcony, in below freezing temperature, victims of a society that abandons pregnant cats to the cruel outdoors rather than spay in the first place—these kittens would not have survived more than a few more hours outside, if that. 

Rescued and taken indoors, they have had their shots and will be fixed when old enough to do so.  All very sweet babies. All domestic shorthairs.  Wonderfully playful and happy now they are saved.  Can you fit one into your life?

Here is the dearest Pug ever!  Bowser is 2 years old, a male, very friendly to people, other dogs and kids. Beige with the dark face, his owners abandoned him due to family circumstance.

Bowser is neutered, vaccines Max 5, Bordatella, and Rabies, heartworm tested negative and on Revolution prevention, dewormed, no fleas.  He is a natural clown, and will keep you smiling all his life with you!

Buddy

Buddy is a very sweet and gentle boy, not a mean bone!  He is a mix of Black Lab and Border Collie, he turned 2 years old on August 5, 2009, and is VERY loving and playful, but not hyper.  Will make a fine family dog, housetrained! 

Not a big barker, does not bark often.   He is 61 pounds,  very sensitive and intelligent, and is good around other friendly dogs.  He is quite calm, so might be ok with cats but has not been tested with them. Neutered, vaccinated to date Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella, dewormed, defleaed just in case, heartworm tested negative, on Revolution heartworm preventative.  Wonderful and expressive dark brown eyes just melt your heart as you look into his very soul—such a GOOD boy! 

NOTE:

GIVEN UP WITH HIS SON, “BEAR” as his people are moving.  IT WOULD BE GREAT TO PLACE THEM TOGETHER IF POSSIBLE AS THEY ARE VERY CLOSE but they can be separated to get good homes if necessary.

Bear

This is BEAR, the one- year-old son of BUDDY!  He was born on August 20, 2008.  BEAR is a HANDSOME boy, bigger than his dad BUDDY -- 70 pounds!  (He could do with more weight!).   His mother was a large Husky we were told—at any rate, he is a magnificent dog to look at, brownish along the neck and  upper back, turning a deep strong russet-red shade along his back—with the Border Collie accents of white.  He has gorgeous GOLDEN EYES that express his intelligence and sensitivity. 

Very loving and playful as well, HOUSETRAINED, and does not bark often.  Very observant of his surroundings, he likes to cuddle with his dad BUDDY when sleeping!  Good with other friendly dogs, cats are a question mark—untried with them.  Like Buddy, quite easy to walk, they both know “Sit” as well. 

Neutered, heartworm tested negative, on Revolution heartworm preventative, newly vaccinated Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella as was Buddy, he was dewormed and defleaed just in case by vet.

NOTE:

GIVEN UP WITH HIS FATHER, “BUDDY” as his people are moving.  IT WOULD BE GREAT TO PLACE THEM TOGETHER IF POSSIBLE AS THEY ARE VERY CLOSE but they can be separated to get good homes if necessary.

Blondie is 28 pounds as of Aug 25 and is 8 about 7 or 8 months old.  She is a Blond Lab, and from the James Bay area, someone brought her down to save her life. This is one DEAR girl—not a mean bone—totally trusting, a real baby—playful and happy.  She is nicely active but not hyper, very smart and observant—a good dog to train easily. 

Blondie is to be spayed very shortly, is heartworm negative on her test, and started on Revolution heartworm preventative, dewormed, vaccinated and also Bordatella vaccine. Blondie has trusting chocolate eyes and can smile! Loves people, other friendly dogs, likely would get used to a cat with some assistance.

A GREAT family dog in the making—can Blondie work her charm on you?

I am a seven year old neutered, champagne beige, domestic shorthair male.  Early in life I lost my human companion through a car accident. I have since been very busy loving and protecting a lady who was her friend.  Due to health reason she can no longer keep me and I am in foster care.

I am not only very affectionate but also very loyal and devoted.  I was nickname " Velcro " because I kept by her side at all times. I loved watching her TV programs and helping with chores.  I was also lovingly considered the perfect " Watch Cat " because even though I like visitors - when I sensed she was even slightly unsure of anyone - I was very vigilant and followed that person throughout the house to ensure they behaved.  Only a few times did I have to hiss to remind them they were being watched by a feline protector!

If you want a true companion - one who takes his job of showing devotion seriously - I'm your cat.  If you want a cat companion who lives for you rather than just with you - I'm the lad.  As I have a strong personality, it's best if can be your ONLY  cat.  I don't need another cat companion and neither will you!  I am enough cat for the both of us!

Declawed on front paws.  Eye color a beautiful green. Vaccinated, no fleas, dewormed and ready to pack my suitcase!

Lola needs her own special Human Guardian Angel!! 

Lola is the dearest  ELEVEN and a HALF year old SHELTIE girl!   This is a super behaved and calm dog, a REAL TREASURE!  This Golden Oldie is not ready for retirement yet, she will tell you.  She loves her walks, and looks half her age.   In good health, has just been checked out by her vet.  She has several lipomas (fatty tumours, NOT cancer) that have been needle aspirated to confirm non-cancerous.  She does not need them removed.  She is in great shape.  Just met her first cat, did great! 

She’d love a young girl child in her new family, as she was loved;  but HER young girl developed asthma not long ago, hence Lola needs rehoming.  Very child friendly, but needs gentle children considerate of her age.  Loving grandchildren would be perfect too!  Lola is housetrained, has her own comfy bed, and is easy to walk.  She is around 30 pounds or so, and loves the car.  She is very easy-going with not a mean bone. 

Very aware of her surroundings she is mentally alert and has the prettiest face, so expressive!  She is spayed, shots up to date, also Bordatella vaccine. This beautiful and sensitive girl is very trusting and SO gentle—she was going to be euthanized as the family thought she’d never find a loving home at her age. 

Well here at Gerdy’s we look for Angels  for these special dogs and you have never failed us yet!  So you Angels amongst us—“Little Lola wants YOU!”  Please! SHELTIE lovers needed!

This Big Black Dog is so handsome and friendly—with fantastic expressive golden eyes set in an aristocratic intelligent face.  He is only 10 months old but pretty well full grown at 79 pounds.  He is a Black Lab Cross, who was not allowed to be kept in the apartment and was going to be turned loose by the owners as a result.  Instead, he is awaiting adoption in safety at Gerdy’s. 

He rides quietly in the car.  He has not a mean bone, very good around people and is curious about other dogs.  Pleasantly active and playful, but not hyper.  Could use obedience class to polish his Fred Astaire walking moves—he already knows how to rhumba! 

A keen observer of all around him, this web-footed wonderdog has been neutered, heartworm tested negative and is on Revolution preventative, vaccinated up to date—Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella, dewormed, no fleas, and is ready to dance with you to “Me and My Shadow” in his new forever home.

At 6 to 8 months old, I have had a rough start in life! In the very cold weather of February, I appeared out of nowhere to a nice lady’s back door and frantically begged to be let in.  She realized that I had started to freeze my ears, and noticed how small and helpless  I was to be an outdoor cat.  But I was freezing to death, bit by bit, too young to survive on my own. 

One of many on the streets this winter desperate to live another day.  Well, she found someone who contacted Gerdy about me and Gerdy took me in.  I will likely lose the tips or top half of my ears, but I am still a real sweetheart and a true Irish Rose!! 

I am spayed now, FIV & FelV tested negative, vaccinated, dewormed & no fleas—I am ready to dance an Irish Jig of joy if you give me a forever home—and that’s no blarney!

I am a little Tri-colour Shih Tzu of 12.6 pounds, and 1 year 2 months old, having been born April 6, 2008.  I was very much loved but had to be given up due to a family tragedy.   I am clean in the house. 

Spayed, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, on heartworm preventative, no fleas, vaccinated Max 5, Rabies, Bordatella.  I am friendly but a bit scared right now, so I hug my favourite stuffed toy from my old home at every opportunity—and it will come with me in my suitcase to your house! 

I am truly like my name Rose; gentle, a bit shy, but lovable and a great beauty, inside as well as out with my 3 colours—so dramatic!    I have the sweetest expressive face—and I LOVE to be talked to gently!  Truly, a Rose without a thorn!
