Here's what the humans have to say about me:
PLEASE USE THIS EMAIL jnreports@hotmail.com IF YOU NEED INFORMATION; USING ANY OTHER EMAIL WILL ADD A DELAY IN GETTING THE INFORMATION TO YOU.
Gretel is a two year old (as of 7/2017) gorgeous 55 lbs. girl who is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and house broken. Gretel has anxiety and requires a calm & quiet home with no children and an experienced adopter with a fenced yard. She is currently taking Prozac to help ease her anxiety and comes with a muzzle and thunder shirt.
Despite her anxiety, this darling girl has so many wonderful things going for her! She is very smart, playful (but not hyper), protective, loyal, loving, and so affectionate. She is the type who will follow you around and want to cuddle closely next to your lap and in your bed at night. She is housebroken and has been through PetsMart Puppy and Intermediate Classes and knows basic commands like sit, stay, paw, and down. She is outstanding about only chewing her toys and bones and not the furniture!
Gretel loves to play with the submissive dog she currently lives with but she is dog selective so would need to be tested and properly introduced to any dog she may live with. She likes to guard her food so needs to be separated from other animals when she eats. She gets very nervous around new people and situations and can come across as reactive. If she feels cornered, she will growl. She can also be reactive on a leash when she sees other dogs so needs more leash training but is making great progress. She is a major homebody and really needs a fenced yard where she can get her daily exercise. Gretel can never be off leash so is not a good candidate for a dog park. She'd much prefer to hang out on your lap at home!
Adoption Fee is $65 and we will deliver Gretel to her new home after a meet and greet in a neutral location. Adopter is required to sign an adoption contract. Gretel really needs to find her special someone with a structured home who can help her blossom into a balanced dog. This gorgeous girl is very well worth the effort!!
Please contact her foster mom Susan jnreports@hotmail.com for more information about Gretel or to set up a meet and greet. Using any other email will just ADD a delay in getting the information to you.

Applicants will be required to complete a pre-adoption form. There is an adoption fee.
