Gretchen's Story

Meet Gretchen—a stunning 11-year-old German Shepherd with a graceful presence and a heart full of quiet love. <br/><br/>Gretchen came to us from a shelter in Moore, Oklahoma, after her owner transitioned into a nursing home. While we don’t know all the details of her past, what we do know is that she’s a gentle, loyal companion who’s ready to find her next chapter with someone special.<br/><br/>This beautiful girl is sweet, affectionate, and enjoys being close to her people. She was previously trained to stay off furniture, so her version of cuddling is a little more refined—think sitting beside you for head scratches, ear rubs, and those oh-so-satisfying booty scratches. If you’re limber, she may even accept some floor-level snuggles.<br/><br/>Gretchen does have her boundaries (as any classy lady does 💁‍♀️)—she prefers not to have her belly touched. And honestly, we respect that. She’s the kind of dog you get to know over time, building trust and connection in a way that makes it all the more meaningful.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, calm, and dignified companion who still has so much love to give, Gretchen may just be your girl.<br/><br/>Gretchen is worth knowing… and even more worth loving.<br/><br/>Adopt Gretchen: https://bit.ly/AdoptIFR <br/>Foster Gretchen: https://bit.ly/FosterIFR
