Gretchen's Story

Meet Gretchen, a sweet little puppy with a heart as big as her future. Rescued before she could be used for breeding or as a bait dog, this precious girl now has the chance to find the loving forever family she has always deserved.<br/><br/>Gretchen is a happy, affectionate pup who loves to follow her people, snuggle close, and enjoy a little playtime. She gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes, is respectful of cats, and has been wonderful with the children she's met. <br/><br/>She's also doing great with crate training, happily sleeping through the night and resting quietly when left for short periods. House training is still a work in progress, so she'll need a family ready to continue teaching her all the skills every puppy needs.<br/><br/>Like any young puppy, Gretchen is still learning her house manners and will need a family committed to continuing her training, socialization, and all the responsibilities that come with raising a puppy. <br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal best friend to grow up with your family or become your constant companion, Gretchen is ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and puppy kisses.
