Gretchen's Story

The biographical information provided is correct to the best of our knowledge while the animal is in our care or includes what may have been provided by a previous owner. We strive to be honest and accurate, but animals can change their personalities and behavior when they settle into a new home. IDR+ makes no guarantees based on the information we observe and provide.<br/><br/>Gretchen is a 9-month-old Giant Schnauzer puppy with a classic pepper-and-salt coat. She was found as a stray in Chicago, which is unusual for a dog of her breed and age, but she is now safe in foster care and doing well.<br/><br/>She is very dog-social and would make a great playmate for another friendly, outgoing dog. Gretchen does well with dogs of all sizes and adores the kids in her foster home. She’s happy with anyone willing to give her attention.<br/><br/>Gretchen is crate trained and has great house manners. She loves her toys and has a playful habit of bouncing on them, which matches her fun, upbeat personality. When you’re sitting and engaging with her, she likes to put her front paws on you for some snuggles. She is still very much a puppy and a blank slate—ready to learn and grow into a well-rounded companion.

Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus's Adoption Policy
The first step in meeting our adoptable animals is the breed/species-specific application at www.ILDobeRescue.com.

We look forward to working with you.  IDR+ is a network of foster homes; therefore, we do not have a location to visit.
