Gretta

Gretta is a friendly girl, ready to make happy memories with her new family. Her foster reports that she is an absolute angel in the house! She is so well behaved, crate-trained, housetrained, quiet and happy to nap all day or cuddle. She will dance around to get your attention when she needs to go out and will patiently let you wipe her feet off when coming inside. She knows basic commands "sit", "play with your bone", "drop it", "back it up!", "No!", and sometimes "stay!. and is calm and trusting of everyone she meets. Gretta loves friendly, playful dogs, and has been fine with a dog savvy cat once her curiosity was satisfied. She hasn't been around kids, but she is expected to do well with them. Gretta is just perfect, and she hopes to meet you soon!
