Gerda arrived at the animal shelter as a teenager. She had wandered the streets with another puppy and faced hardships there. Hunger, a lack of home, and unkind strangers made her wary of people. Her friend quickly found a home, while Gerda continued to live in the shelter, feeling sad for a long time about being left alone.

A Gentle Wallflower

Gerda is a small dog, about 40 centimeters tall at the shoulder, but she is quite plump. After arriving at the shelter, she was sad for a long time, struggling to make friends and cautiously allowing people to get close. Now, Gerda is a playful girl who enjoys walks and playing with her new friends. However, she remains wary of humans. Gerda is simply waiting for a kind and loving person to enter her life, someone she can become a loyal and devoted friend to. She is modest, well-mannered, and kind. While Gerda is at the shelter, she desperately needs gentle scratches behind her ears and human attention, as well as activities with a trainer. Walks are only allowed on a leash. In a new family, she will need time to adapt, but she will surely settle in once she understands that she now has a forever home and family.
