GRETA's Story

Contact the foster at, jsokley@gmail.com Meet Greta — your ideal match might be waiting! Greta is a great beautiful, gentle soul with a funny, affectionate personality. She’s a curious girl who loves car rides, spending time outside (especially the greenway), and lounging on the couch with her favorite human. Treat-motivated and eager to please, she’ll do just about anything for a tasty snack — especially bananas or doggy ice cream! Greta enjoys keeping herself entertained by tossing her toys up and down the stairs and often strikes hilarious sleeping poses (imagine one paw up in the air!). Despite her goofy side, Greta is a sensitive pup who appreciates a calm, gentle home. Thunderstorms don’t bother her at all, but loud, sudden human noises — even playful ones — can make her uneasy. Greta is making wonderful progress with training. She knows “sit,” loves her crate (as long as the door stays open), and is practicing “stay.” She’s comfortable in a harness and does great in the car, although a seatbelt attachment would be wise, so she will not try to ride by your side while you’re driving. Greta also has adorable, webbed paws — who knows, maybe one day she’ll love the water, too! Finally, her jogging gait is so cute— it’s like she’s trotting at an angle. Greta can be a bit cautious at first and would do best with someone who can give her plenty of time, patience, and encouragement. Due to some separation anxiety, she’d appreciate a home where she isn’t left alone too long at first. Greta enjoys meeting adults and other dogs but needs to live in a cat free home. If you’re looking for a smart, silly, and loyal shadow who will make you laugh and melt your heart, Greta might be your ideal match. More about Greta: -She is also eating very well and gets excited for meal time. -Working through some barrier reactivity -She loves toys and has a hard time picking which one to play with when there are many choices! -She has a shy, cautious personality but opens up quickly when she trusts you. -She is VERY SMART! She knows Sit, Down,Shake, Leave it, Wait. She also responds very well to corrections. -We have not done a lot of walks as she was hyper-alert, scanning her surroundings and pulling quite a bit the first couple of days, which was manageable, but I thought I would give her some time to settle before working on leash manners.
