About Greta

Greta packs a lot of joy and spirit into her medium-sized frame. Born in early March 2023, she's expected to reach around 35 lbs—just the right size for someone wanting a compact, athletic dog. She's a cheerful, happy-go-lucky pup who gets along well with other dogs and genuinely loves running and playing. She's handled long car rides smoothly and greets new experiences with a mild, quiet attitude. Greta shines on a leash and has shown that she enjoys meeting children, especially the slightly older ones, taking it all in with enthusiasm. There's a lot to love about Greta’s look—she’s been described as a miniaturized, blonde Shepherd with hints of Husky and a mix of other fun breeds thrown in. Swimming is apparently her latest specialty, and she's made great strides there too. Greta has an easygoing, 'diamond in the rough' quality and, with a bit of time and guidance, is likely to be someone's 'best dog ever.' Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
