Gretl

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gretl came from a family of feral Akbash dogs who had to be trapped to brought to safety. She is like many Akbash dogs -- tall and lean. Gretl has made progress in her socialization thanks in part to having an injury to her front right paw. We're not sure if she was bitten by a spider or snake? Whatever it was, caused her whole paw to swell up terribly and it was definitely infected. We couldn't find a wound track or a foreign body, so we felt like it must have been a bite of some kind. Gretl made many visits to the vet for treatment, and all those trips were good for her socialization and leash-walking skills. She's still extremely shy with people, but she definitely is not the same feral dog she was on arrival.<br/><br/>Gretl gets along well with other dogs, and is house-trained and crate-trained, though we haven't kept her in a crate in several months because it hasn't been necessary. Gretl enjoys attention from her people, but she doesn't seek it out -- that might come with time.<br/><br/>Gretl is not a livestock guardian and will be adopted out only as a companion animal. If Gretl sounds like the perfect dog for you, please submit your application today!
