✨ Introducing the fabulous Gretchen! ✨ If your heart beats for German Shepherds, you're in for a treat! This charismatic gal is about a year and a half old and is a real sweetheart. She's got a playful spirit, and while she's made friends with male dogs, she thinks cats are a bit too pesky for her taste. Plus, her larger-than-life personality means that maybe no small children would be ideal for her—she’s a big girl! 🐶 Gretchen hails from the picturesque rural expanses of Missouri, where she roamed freely as a stray. Now, she’s ready to find her forever family who understands that this working breed thrives on exercise and a little job to keep her tail wagging! 🏃‍♀️💨 Just a heads up—she might need a 6 ft fence to keep her safe and sound, but we haven’t tested her with a 4 ft fence yet. This delightful girl is super friendly with people and would love to be a part of your life! Currently, she’s hanging out at the vet in boarding while we spread the word about her. We can’t wait to get her into a foster home as soon as we find a loving adopter! And don’t worry—once she finds her forever home, we’ll discover if she’s housebroken and crate trained. Are you ready to open your heart and home to this incredible German Shepherd? Just remember that adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. For a fee of $295, you’ll get not only Gretchen’s love but also up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spaying/neutering, and a microchip to ensure her safety! 🏡💖 This is not just any adoption; it’s the gateway to your new best friend! If you’re feeling the spark, don’t wait! 🌟 Apply through the Buddy App today! Let’s find Gretchen the loving family she deserves! We are a 100% foster-based rescue, entirely committed to finding each animal the best Forever Home. Home visits, veterinarian and reference checks will be done for each potential adopter! 🐾
