3. Aiden
Adult · Male · White German Shepherd / Mixed (long coat) · 37 mi from Kenosha




BIO
Hello! My name is Aiden. I am currently being treated for heartworm. My heartworm treatment will be completed, and I can go home with my family the middle of December 2026. I am housetrained. I am not crate trained. I have been fine when left unsupervised. When meeting strangers I go right up to them without barking and enjoy getting pet. I have been friendly to everyone I meet.I have met other dogs; however, I prefer female dogs about the same size as me. I really love to play with the female dog here at my foster home. I have not met any cats, so I do not know how I feel about them. I don’t really care about toys. I like going for car rides. I walk well on a leash with no reactivity. I know a few commands, but maybe you could teach me more. I love being brushed. Look how handsome I am.I would like to find a home with someone active. Someone who likes hiking and going on adventures. We could go to some obedience classes where I could learn lots of things. I can be an only dog. It would be nice to find a friend and have some play dates to help keep up my social skills since I do enjoy running around and playing. Do you know anyone with a female dog who would like to play with me?

Name: Gertie
Age: 13 weeks
Breed: Border Terrier mix
Gender: Female
Weight: 7 lbs
Gertie is an owner surrender with her brother. These two adorable puppies are great for those looking for low shedding and smaller in size.
Training and Manners
House trained: Is doing great
Crate trained: Yes
Social Skills: Great with all ages
Dog Friendly: Yes
Cat Friendly: Could easily acclimate to a cat at this age
Personality
Gertie is gentle, kind, a tad bashful when confronted with new things. She is a true cuddle bug and ready to give her new family unconditional love. She gets along well with calmer dogs that won't try to intimidate her. She also loves calmer children that know how to handle a smaller breed dog. Gertie has been a little gem for her foster family where she had positive reinforcement for all her new accomplishments. Her whole goal in life is to create a bond with her special person or family where she can grow and reward them with years of devoted love.
Ideal Home:
Since Gertie is not the life of the party, she would be a perfect companion dog for her owner. Every day that she builds confidence will be her victories. She would make a great companion for another (similar in size) dog in the home as she is not pesty and just the right balance of playfulness.

Adopting a dog with children in Kenosha
Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.
Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
