*Gertie* - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Salt Lake City, Utah

Hi, I'm Gertie! I'm a 9-year-old Chihuahua with a gentle soul and a tender heart. I can be a little reserved when meeting new people and new experiences, so I'm looking for a patient family who will let me take my time and build trust at my own pace. Once I start feeling safe, I show my sweet side and enjoy being close to my people. I'm not the type to rush into friendships-I prefer a slow and steady approach, like a tiny little lady making sure everything is just right. With kindness, consistency, and a little patience, I hope to show my future family what a special companion I can be.
