Gertrude

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 10 months

Gertrude is looking for a home where she can have her own garden, as she absolutely loves playing and having zoomies, but she’s also a bit of an anxious girl around new people so this will be beneficial for introductions. As she can be a bit worried around traffic, she would be best suited to a home in a smaller residential area. Due to her bouncy nature, she could live with upper secondary school aged children who can respect her boundaries, and she’d prefer to be the only pet in the home but would enjoy having doggy friends to go out on walks with. As she’s a clever girl, she would benefit from training and learning a few more manners. Say hi to Gertrude, a 10 month old Cane Corso cross! A sweet, affectionate girl, Gerty has a joyful zest for life that is absolutely infectious. She can be can be shy when meeting new people, but once she warms up to you, she’s your friend for life. You’ll be rewarded with plenty of attention and affection as Gerty loves nothing more than leaning in for cuddles and trying to sit on your lap. She enjoys playing with soft toys and balls and occasionally likes a good game of fetch. This playful, lovely girl would love a home with all the love and time to give her to thrive.

About Gertrude

What life with Gertrude looks like

Gertrude is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shoreham in Shoreham by Sea.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gertrude, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gertrude?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Shoreham handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gertrude on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gertrude if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Shoreham will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Gertrude already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Gertrude isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Shoreham early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gertrude and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
