Here’s a recent picture of me and Teddy (adopted in December) at the Summit. This is his preferred way to experience the great outdoors while my other dog Buddy enjoys his exercise. Sometimes Teddy even falls asleep in the backpack! Teddy was adopted at age 12 and loves being part of an active family. Age is…
Attached are two pictures of our two new delights in our lives. They have adjusted so well to our home and are so wonderful to have as part of our lives.They have become totally dedicated to us both.This has been wonderful to us after the passing of our 14 year old boxer last year. Thank…
Ollie & Ivy foster fails! Love these 2 little chi chis I adopted from Gerdy’s this year! Merry Christmas! -Deb S.
This little cutie is now known as Roo! She is doing great! She loves her new life and loves her walks with her cousin Guinness! She is a cuddle bug and enjoys outings and car rides. She has been a wonderful addition to the family. Thanks Gerdys! ✌️ ❤️ Susan C.
Ozzy is quite an independent thinker. He would love to be the one to decide where we go on our walks. He is a smart little dog and quite funny. The Energizer Bunny has nothing on Ozzy, he has so much energy! -Louise L.
My heart was broken at the loss of my last Gerdy’s rescue boy. A handicapped, adorable, Shih Tzu. I was left with Bernie, my Welsh terrier. Also from Gerdy’s Rescues — he was also brokenhearted and moping around. Along came Inko a poodle/beagle mix.. much larger & filled with strange & difficult behaviour … With…
The paperwork I have puts Tessie I(the Yorkie) at 16 this August. Tessie is in great health and acts like a real little princess. Our Zoey 17 hears old this December, is deaf and blind, and sleeps all day but wakes at meal time! She loves her food. ~ Percy and Susie
We still have LITTLE COOPER now SPARKY. We call him BARKY sometimes cause he still has that high pitch bark. My black German shepherd BRANDY has since passed. We adopted a covid baby, a Malinios CHICO.They are best of friends. ~ Pat D.

Louna is doing very well 😊 she is so cute 🥰 Very spoiled!!! ~ Laurence
Beethoven is truly a blessing! He is doing so so well! He will be 11 come February. He still has a lot of spunk in him and everybody says he does not look his age except for some gray hairs around his mouth. We love him so much and he is very very affectionate with us. We recently had…
Keena is doing very well. She is actually probably 13 or 14 years old as we really never knew how long she spent in the shelter. She is in excellent health, we have never had any emergencies or chronic ailments although she is now hard of hearing. She is still our little sweetheart! ~ Bill…

Cheeky is doing great! He’s 13….a bit deaf but otherwise as frisky as a puppy! ~ Gayle
She’s in wonderful shape. She’s 10 but runs like she’s 5. I take her onto the miles of trails in the woods near my house. Our neighbour’s have 2 white Huskies who come over to play with her in our fenced yard. There are about 10 different dogs on our street. Some get along with…
Growing older gracefully, doing great!
Senior Mark is still doing great! Slowing down a bit but overall in good health.
Adopted these sweet girls who both needed a second chance in their golden years. They have been great together and are so different that they compliment each other. It has been such a pleasure to watch them gain confidence and the happiness they both deserve! ~A.E. `

In April, 2010, I saw a picture of Balou on your website (attached) and immediately new I had to meet him. It was love at first sight, and luckily we were allowed to adopt him and bring him home.Balou was – and is, the best dog and friend anyone could hope for. Balou loves everyone and everyone…
Our beautiful Foxxy came to us a few months ago – so shy, so quiet. Then, the first walks, the first treats, the first cuddles came and she opened up. She’s fun and playful yet calm. We cannot believe our luck to have been matched with her. We both work from home and every day,…
The New Adventures of Lady the Grey Our Lady met us last September 17th. It was love at first sight. Although she did not understand why we were taking her to a new kingdom, this sweet and gentle soul immediately bonded with her new family. Shy and timid at first, finicky about her diet, she…
Bubba has been with us for 11 months now and we couldn’t be happier. He has brought so much joy to us all including my mom’s 11 year old terrier who now acts like a puppy. Bubba and I are still a work in progress trying to manage his leash reactivity but he is a…
Jagger came to our home on August 8th, 2022 as a temporary Foster. We loved him so much and he fit in so well, that we officially adopted him on October 2nd. Aside from totally devoted new-to-him “pawrents”, Jagger now also has a new fur brother named Keeva, who is only 7 months younger. His family…
Hello, A little update on Harry (formerly Barry): His stress level has greatly reduced since April. He’s still not a fan of being without his human but hopefully one day he’ll realize I’m always coming back. He’s a big fan of walks, naps and chasing squirrels or seagulls! Lol He’s fit in with his “sister“…
Our little princess has come a long way since arriving as a very anxious dog into our home as a foster this past April. We knew there was a wonder dog behind all that anxiety. We fell in love with her and felt she would a perfect fit for our family. So she became a…
Wonderful Lola! Our energetic sweet girl enjoys her daily walks, daily rubs, kisses, naps and of course her cantaloupe ! We are grateful and feel blessed to have our sweet girl. Special thanks to Gerdy’s hard working Team, who through many years of experience, pairs pets and pet parents with the best matches possible. A…
The yin to our yang Sometimes, you don’t get the recue dog you expect. Take Bowie, a hyperactive Doodle who previously bounced off walls, pounced on food and chewed on anything within reach. His extra energy meant Bowie was surrendered by two families before he landed at Gerdy’s — at 11 months old. But we…
Thank you Gerdy and Beverley for bringing us the perfect and most lovable cat we could have wished for. Although, at 12 years of age and somewhat settled in his ways, our Simba showed no hesitation in making himself at home. He is an affectionate and easy-going guy and a joy to have around.Thanks again…
Today is our Gerdy’s cat Steini’s 13 year anniversary of his adoption. Steini had been a street cat whose back leg had been hit by a car and Gerdy’s Rescues & Adoptions took him in and provided emergency surgery to Steini. Steini was formerly called “Pretty Boy” by Gerdy’s Rescue & Adoptions. Gerdy specifically talked…
Hi everyone Can’t believe it is 6 years ago today that Barney arrived here at his forever home. He is doing great and we love him to bits! He loves to run around the backyard with his sister Dasher and napping in front of the window wherever the sun is shining in. Anyhow just thought…
Cela fera 1 an en février que nous sommes réunis et on file le parfait bonheur! Les journées ne sont pas banales; marches dans les bois, camping, chalet, on fait même du vélo dans un petit carrosse! Hé oui… je suis une grande voyageuse🐶!! Dès que cette pandémie sera terminée, on pourra aller vous rencontrer lorsque…
Meet Maddie ❤️ The unique dog that has changed me and my husbands life in a big positive way with her big personality. We adopted her in January 2018 after seeing that she needed help and got along with cats. We fell in love immediately with her big brown eyes and her unique stature. She…
We welcomed Nala into our home in early August 2020. Nala is a senior dog with dementia who has really found a place in our hearts. She was looking for a home to see out her final days and has been welcomed into our family of adults and by our 3 resident cats. We have…
I have no words!!!! He is delicious… spoiled, loved, smart and stubborn! I got the Gerdy’s jackpot! ~Felicia W.
We so clearly remember seeing Minka’s photo on Gerdy’s website 4.5 years ago, thinking she was such a unique-looking dog and hoping she would be a good fit for us in our new house. When we first met her we knew right away that she had to be ours, even though she was overexcited and…
Despite her tumor and age, she continues to be her energetic, happy, life-loving and curious self. In fact, she outruns us some days on our walks! We are blessed, happy and so lucky to continue to have special moments with our Heidi. While this pandemic is absolutely terrible in every way, Chris has been working…
We knew that welcoming an outdoor cat might take some adjustment period but Charlotte was a huge surprise to us! She is the most affectionate and playful cat who follows us around everywhere we go. We give each other headbutts and kisses and Charlotte’s favourite past time is sleeping on our bed and she surprisingly…
From the first moment we met Sammy (aka Sergeant), I knew immediately that he would be the perfect fit for us and our 6 year old cat, Eddie. Sammy was shy and timid, but you could see in his eyes that he was the most kind and loving soul. His life started off on the…
