On this Thankful Thursday, our beautiful little Sanctuary resident Gertie says hello. Gertie has lived here in Sanctuary for almost 2 months now and despite facing health challenges, she has an amazing spirit.
Gertie is a very happy, spunky, little girl who has a great appetite, enjoys playtime with the other dogs and a nice lap to sit on. She does tire easily and frequently naps, but once she gets up she is ready to get moving once again.
Her favorite pastime is snacking on gullet sticks, and because she values them so much she also hoards them under the mattress. No one can get near her bed, not human, and most certainly not other dogs unless she’s off doing another activity. And once we are done cleaning and changing all the bedding, she starts her collection all over again.
Simply enjoying something as simple as a gullet stick is one of the best moments in Gertie’s life that might have never been.
Dogs like Gertie inspire us here at Paws Give Me Purpose to become even better human beings. Because of supporters like you, we have been able to give Gertie and all the dogs living here in Sanctuary the best gift possible, a new life.
