Gretel

Gretel - Ready for Her Fresh Start<br/><br/>Gretel is an approximately 3.5-year-old Great Pyrenees mix who has been patiently waiting for her turn. She joined FMAR in August after a challenging chapter in her life and has spent the last several months showing us just how resilient, happy, and loving she truly is. Now, she's finally ready for a home of her own.<br/><br/>This big-hearted girl is incredibly friendly and always happy to see her people. True to her Pyrenees roots, Gretel is slightly obsessed with being outside and loves having space to explore and relax. She does well on her own or alongside her "brother" Hansel (not biologically related), and would be happy as a solo dog or with the right canine companion.<br/><br/>Gretel does wonderfully in her kennel-she keeps it clean, follows a solid routine, and settles in nicely. She enjoys soft, stuffy toys and hard bones inside, but outdoors she's more focused on her surroundings than toys. She has a strong, confident bark that lets you know when something new has entered her space, making her an excellent alert dog.<br/><br/>Gretel's ideal home would offer a very large outdoor area where she can spend much of her day enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells around her. She is not your typical "fetch-and-frisbee" dog, but she would still do well with a family who understands and appreciates her independent, guardian-style personality. Gretel is happiest when she's able to exist alongside her people rather than constantly entertain them-and in the right home, she will be a loyal, steady presence and a truly special companion.<br/><br/>A favorite among staff and volunteers, Gretel is ready to trade kennel life for wide-open space, comfort, and a family who loves her just the way she is.<br/><br/>If you would like to meet Gretel, please submit an application for her on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. She is spayed, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $250, which covers part of the medical care she will receive.<br/><br/>**Please note that the breed listed for each of our dogs is a rough estimate unless DNA results are provided in their Bio. All strays have rough estimates of their age based on the condition of their teeth.<br/>Each dog is different, so each adoption is different. Our adoption process might require multiple visits to the shelter before our dogs can go home. Or they may be ready on the first visit. It really depends on the individual dog and the potential adopters. Once we receive your application, the Dog Staff will contact you to discuss meeting our dogs.
