Active and curious, Greta loves exploring new environments, showing excitement but calming quickly when settled. She needs a fenced yard or ample exercise to help her burn off that youthful energy—she would make a fantastic hiking buddy. Greta is a loving, lively dog ready to find a home that matches her pace and gives her room to learn leash manners.
