Gretchen's Story

Hello! My name is Gretchen. I'm a native New Yorker; I was adopted from the ASPCA when I was a puppy, and lived with my family until about a month ago when my parent got sick and couldn't care for me anymore. I miss them so much, and I’m still unsettled, but I still have a lot of love to give to my new family!<br/><br/>I’ve been in two foster situations since early January. With the first one, I met her boyfriend and her sister. We lived in a studio, which I liked because I could see my foster mom at all times. With the second home, I lived with 3 people. I love meeting people, but I need a second to see if I can trust you. If you give me belly rubs or let me lie across you on the couch, you’re great in my book.<br/><br/>I’m quite spooked by other dogs and am reactive. I’m open to training, but my foster parents must be diligent, and I’ll probably do best without dogs around, at least for the foreseeable future.<br/><br/>While I’ve enjoyed playing outside in the snow and like to run on leash, ultimately, I am a total homebody, so being back in an apartment with my blankie and humans is amazing. I don't mind staying home alone either! I'll keep the couch warm for you.<br/><br/>I want to trust and feel confident, but the only family I’ve known isn't in my life anymore and I’m a bit confused.<br/><br/>Don't call me an old dog yet; I'm still strong and sassy and smart! I have a lot of life left in me, and if you're willing to be loyal to me, I'll be the most faithful family member you've ever had.
