Gertrude is a 6 year old German Shepherd who was rescued from the Kern County shelter, where she was at risk of being euthanized.

Gertrude is a wonderful dog with a gentle nature and a big heart. She enjoys being around people, gets along well with other dogs, and has a cheerful, affectionate personality that makes her easy to love.

• Happy and friendly
• Loving and affectionate
