Gertrude is being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than blindness or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community. Β In February, 2022, Gertrude took the next step in her journey and entered Advanced Training where she’ll learn the skills needed to support her future partner.

It truly takes a village to raise a puppy, and you can be part of Gertrude’s village and receive monthly updates about her β€” donations raised through this page support the care and training of healthy, happy puppies. Help support Gertrude today.
