Here's what the humans have to say about me:
A mother of 4 needs to find a home for all 3 of her dogs ASAP. She and the children are devastated. The man who raised these children, up and left with all their furniture without notice. They have nothing and the mother is struggling to find work. To top if off, on Saturday night, her parents house burned down.
Gretchen is a Shepherd-Lab-Malanois mix who is 4 yrs old, spayed, and all ready to go to a new home. She is a fast runner and is trained to stay inside an invisible fence that she shares with her buds. She is housebroken, shares her food, and toys. In fact, she will sit up pretty if you hold up a treat. She wouldnt be needing a new home but has run into some bad luck along with her human family. Mom has always been a stay at home mom and for the last 8 yrs they have lead a wonderful life with the man of her dreams. But one sunny day while the mom and kids were away he rented a moving van and backed up to the rental house they had shared together, and removed all their belongings. Bye Bye, so long, hasta la vista baby...is all he wrote! Gretchen is about 40lbs and very slim in build, and if you are going on more than a short trip she may need a pill as she gets car sick. She has not been around cats but great with kids and good inside the house. The family has so much to consider now as mom has to get a job, find a less expensive home and figure out how to buy school supplies for 4 kids. You can make their lives easier by adopting Gretchen so they know she will be in a happy home. Please contact Michelle at michelledoubledog@gmail.com
