Gertie Update Gertie is on the mend! She had her spay and multiple mass removals last week and is recovering in her finder's home. Now she needs what every dog deserves—a comfortable, loving home starting 5/2 where she can continue to heal… and maybe even spend the rest of her days. Estimated to be around 8 years old, Gertie is truly something special. She seamlessly joined her foster home, living peacefully with two smaller dogs, and has been nothing but sweet with everyone she meets. She’s the kind of dog who makes herself at home in your heart (and your bed) instantly. Available in the Northeast (NY, NJ, CT, RI, VT, PA, DE, MD, NoVA) Apply to adopt: www.chboxerrescue.com/adopt ************************************************************* This sweet girl showed up as a stray, but it’s painfully clear she once belonged to someone. She knows basic commands. She settles right into a home like she’s done it a thousand times before. She trusts people. And despite everything she’s been through… she’s still gentle, still kind, still trying. Her body tells a different story. Overbred. Used. Discarded. She’s covered in tumors and boxer bumps that need immediate medical attention. Her teeth are so severely rotted they’re literally falling out on their own. Years of neglect have caught up with her, and now she needs us to step in and give her the care she’s always deserved. She's probably 8-9 years old. If someone dumped her, they unknowingly gave her a second chance — because now she’s safe, and she will never be used or forgotten again. She can get the medical attention she needs now. Her medical care will be extensive — mass removals, a much-needed spay, dental surgery, and cytology to make sure we’re not missing anything more serious.
