This ‘delightful’ dog Gertie needs a foster carer in Sheffield
Gertie was taken in to the RSPCA Sheffield centre just over six months ago after a change in circumstances meant her previous owners could no longer take care of her.
She has two health conditions; skin soreness, which may possibly be allergy related, and mild hip dysplasia.

Hide AdAdam Spencer, of RSPCA Sheffield, said: “She is on treatment for both conditions, and a restricted exercise plan, but in order to get her ailments well managed, this girl needs a home environment and some one to one care away from the kennel environment – which she finds stressful.
“Our vets are hopeful that once we get both conditions stabilised and find the right treatment and management plan, this girl will have many happy years ahead of her, sharing her love – and her slobber covered toys – with a forever owner of her very own.”
A potential foster home for Gertie, who Adam says is ‘delightful’, would need to have a secure garden and she would need to be with someone who is at home most of the day. She is better suited to live with secondary school age children and needs to be the only pet in the home.
Adam added: “She is the most beautiful natured and affectionate dog, she`s a big girl and gives her love with gusto.
