Meet Gertie! 

This charming 8-year-old Chihuahua and Terrier mix weighs just 8 lbs and is full of love. Gertie adores people and would thrive in a home where she can have another canine companion by her side. She's especially wonderful with families that include kids aged 12 or older. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate friend who brings joy and warmth to your home, Gertie could be the perfect match. Contact us today to learn more about adopting this sweet lady!

If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet!

The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!

*please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
