Meet Geri – The Little Dog with a Big Heart (Once You Earn It) Geri is a petite 8-pound sweetheart, about two years old, with a gentle soul that blossoms when given time and patience. She’s a “love on layaway” kind of girl — here’s what you can expect when welcoming her home: Day 1: She’ll keep her distance and quietly watch you from afar. Day 2: Curiosity will take over, and she’ll start exploring her new home. Day 3: She’ll take food from your hand, realizing you’re the bringer of good things. Day 4: You’ll have a tiny shadow who follows you everywhere, ready to be your new best friend. Geri is great with other dogs but doesn’t need them to thrive — she can be happy as your one-and-only or as part of a gentle pack. Because she’s easily startled by loud noises, she’d do best in an adult-only home or one without young children. If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in earning a shy dog’s trust, Geri will be the most rewarding friend you’ve ever had.
