About Greta

Looking for a dog who’s always up for an adventure and equally content lounging around? Greta fits that bill. This 1-year-old terrier mix weighs in at about 55 pounds and has worked hard to come out of her shell, becoming a confident, lively companion. Greta’s original adopter faced unexpected health issues, so she’s on the search again for a permanent home—but not because of anything she did. She’s spayed and current on all her vaccinations. Greta gets along great with people and other dogs. She’s playful, especially when water is involved—a hose or a pool will light up her day. She’s lived indoors and enjoys her downtime as much as her play sessions, making her a strong match for anyone who wants a dog ready to burn energy or crash on the couch. Greta isn’t yet house trained, so her adopter should be ready to work with her on that, but her friendly nature helps her pick things up quickly. She’s waiting in Manchester, TN and hoping her new family will come meet her soon. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
