💜🐾 Meet Gretchen 🐾💜

Some dogs are looking for adventure.

Some are looking for a fresh start.

And some, like Gretchen, are simply looking for a soft place to land.

At 18 years old, this Frenchie/Boston Terrier mix has earned her retirement. After spending years as someone's beloved companion, Gretchen found herself at the shelter when her owner lost their housing. Now she's hoping for one more chapter--one filled with comfort, kindness, and love.

Gretchen is looking for a very special hospice home to spend her remaining years.

She isn't asking for much.

A sunny spot to nap. ☀️
A few leisurely strolls.
A gentle hand for chin scratches.
A soft bed.
And someone who sees the value in an old dog.

Despite her age, Gretchen still enjoys getting out for a walk and taking in the world around her. She's reported to be housetrained, does well with other dogs, and still appreciates all the little things that make life enjoyable.

We know that opening your home to a hospice senior is not something everyone can do.
