Attention all scruffy lovers!! Miss Gertie is a petite, scruffy, long-legged wirehaired terrier mix. Seriously so cute, she needs to be in commercials.  She was found hiding in the bushes at a McDonald's during a terrible thunderstorm. Gertie is extremely well mannered in her puppy pen and while crated in a vehicle. She sleeps all night and rarely makes a sound. She's very energetic when she's let out to play but that's probably because she's so excited to have a warm comfy bed, all the food her tummy can hold and lots of humans who love her. 

Gertie is learning to use her puppy pads and will start working on her house training skills soon. She is super sweet and laid back but can also be extremely playful. She may do better in a home with older kids as she may be too energetic for younger children at this time. She will need a family who will have time to help her burn off some of her energy and who will have the patience to help her continue learning house manners. 

Gertie is ready for her meet & greets and adoption. If you're interested in meeting Miss Gertie, fill out an adoption application asap!

Please contact  app@aarfhouston.org for more information about this dog. You can apply online by clicking on Application . Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet and greet at one of our adoption events. Thank you for considering a rescue!

The adoption fee includes vaccinations, Bordetella, de-worming, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip. There is a an additional $12.99 fee for Home Again for a lifetime registration of the microchip.

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
