Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi my name is Gretta and not only did New Hope Dog Rescue save me from being euthanized at a pound, they are also going to help me with my knees. My foster mom says I need bilateral cruciate surgery, which basically means knee surgery on both my knees. I have already had one surgery on one of my knees and am doing great. I never knew what it felt like to walk on a stable knee. My foster mom is doing lots of rehabilitation work with me to make sure I heal properly and I will hopefully be able to have my second surgery soon. I'm only 2 years old so I'll have lots of time to enjoy my knew knees with you! After I was put into my foster moms home, she found a strange bump on my ear. She asked the vet what it was and we found out that it was a mast cell tumour. The vet removed most of my right ear. Don't worry, the vet assures me that with the good margins she took the chances of this tumour coming back are slim. I just look a little unique now! She also removed some other lumps from my body, to be safe, but they turned out to just be allergic reactions. I'm a real fun loving girl and am goofy and affectionate. I like other dogs, am fully house trained, stay in a x-pen during the day and sleep all night on my doggy bed. I like all types of people big and small, but I do get really excited and sometimes jump up, but my foster mom is teaching me some manners. I am not a fan of cats and would do best in a home without them. My foster mom thinks I deserve a special home, but I really would be happy in any home. So because I need to have these surgeries it would be really great if a few people could help a little with some donations. Make a donation. You can send a little note to let them know you want to help me. Tax receipts available for any donation of $20 or more. Gretta will be available for adoption after her surgeries but we will post updates often. Once her surgeries are done and she has completed some rehab, Gretta will no longer be considered special needs.
