My story

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

Gretta is ready for her second chance.

This sweet girl was found as a stray near Saviers Market in Oxnard with her daughter Clara. A good Samaritan spotted them and, worried they might get run over in the street, took them in. They fostered the pair and posted them on Nextdoor and the Ring app in hopes of finding their owner. Sadly, no one came forward. We believe they may have been dumped. After the stray hold was complete, Shelter Hope took them in.

Gretta is a charming 5-year-old, 16 lb Chihuahua mix with a beautiful smile. She adores toys and enjoys running and playing. Gretta is great with other dogs, and according to her foster, seems to be potty trained too! She can be nervous and guarded initially, but we have seen her warm up quickly! She jumps into our laps and loves attention. Affectionate, clever, and athletic, Gretta would be a great addition to an active household that enjoys outdoor adventures and lots of playtime.

Now spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, Gretta is looking for her forever home!
