My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

****ADOPTION PENDING**** Gretta is a very sweet, very friendly, 14 pound, 7 year old red smooth dachshund. Gretta is perfectly house trained, walks nicely on leash and likes car rides. She gets along with all dogs she meets and does not seem to mind big dogs. She has not been cat tested. Gretta is a bit overweight. She has a 2 pound weight loss goal and she is doing great at getting her waist back. She definitely likes unstuffed squeaky toys, loves to cuddle and get belly rubs. Gretta has a medical issue. After being fully vetted and after testing she has been diagnosed with Diabetes Insipidus. This means that she does not produce any or enough anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) so she is not able to conserve water and cannot concentrate urine. FORTUNATELY, she responded immediately to the synthetic ADH medication she was started on and now drinks and urinates normally. The medication is in the form of an eye drop twice a day. The cost is about $33.00/month. She will be tried soon on one drop a day. If she maintains on the reduced dose the cost of the medication will decrease to about $16.00/month.

The home best suited for Gretta will not have children under the age of 10 years old, will have someone home more than gone and someone able to give her the eye drop medication as well as take her on short daily walks and most importantly understands she will need the Desmopressin drops for the rest of her life. To schedule a meeting with Gretta an adoption application must be filled out and submitted. This can be done online at c2cdr.org. Gretta's adoption fee is $225.00, her ability to make you smile daily is priceless.

Gretta is available for adoption in Colorado only. Applicant must be within a 2-3 hour drive from Boulder.
