Trudy
Introducing Trudy, this 12-year-old female German Shorthaired Pointer who wandered in a stranger's yard before being picked up by animal control and taken to the shelter. It's not a place for a gentle soul like Trudy.
While Trudy's activity level is moderate, she isn't for everyone. She is not the dog that will want to be out in the field or on trails hiking all day. While she loves going out on the trail (watch her video below), she is good for about an hour and is then happy to curl up on her dog bed and get pets. She is the perfect dog for someone looking for an easy dog to exercise.
Some say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but Trudy is here to prove them wrong. She wasn't initially comfortable around other dogs, often expressing her need for personal space with a growl or a bark. When she was first rescued by California GSP Rescue, she hadn't been house-trained. However, with patience and love, she's now sharing her space with other well-behaved, socialized dogs and has even mastered the use of a doggy door!

The Good Stuff:
Easy. She is fine with short walks and being petted
