About Greta

Meet Greta, an energetic 18-month-old female mixed breed dog weighing around 40 lbs. With her striking black coat and white markings, she resembles a Border Collie mix and has a personality to match. Greta is a bundle of joy, full of affection and confidence, and she thrives on attention and playtime. Greta loves spending time with people and is super wiggly, making her a delight to have around. She enjoys the company of other dogs, especially larger ones, and would likely do well in a home where she can play and socialize. Bring your dog along to see if they hit it off! This playful pup is already potty trained and keeps her kennel clean. She excels at recall but could use some work on her leash manners, pulling on a slip lead while responding better to a harness. She's quick to calm down in a quiet setting, often laying down next to you to relax after some playful exploration. Greta requires a fenced yard or daily exercise to help her expend her youthful energy. She’s looking for a loving home that can keep up with her active lifestyle and help her refine her leash behaviors. Ready to welcome this affectionate companion into your life?
