Gretel Grimm Once, not long ago and not far away, there lived a husky named Gretel Grimm who looked as though she had wandered out of a pine forest and accidentally discovered central heating. She kept the mystique. She chose the couch. Gretel is two years old, 52 pounds, and unmistakably storybook-silver-furred, observant, quietly enchanted. She doesn't rush scenes. She waits for them to arrive. She watches before stepping forward, and when she loves you, she does it with intention. No theatrics. Just closeness, warmth, and the steady reassurance of someone who has decided you are hers. She is dog friendly and gracious in shared spaces, happy to pass toys back and forth like a polite guest in a well-kept tale. At mealtime, however, Gretel prefers her own chapter. A quiet corner. A bowl untroubled by plot twists. Even in fairy tales, boundaries matter. Gretel is also heartworm positive-but this is not the looming curse it sounds like. Treatment has begun, the path is clear, and her care will be fully completed even after adoption. This chapter is already being handled. You simply get to write the next one. She is very loving. Very sweet. Kind in the way that feels old and rare. She is the dog who rests her head against your side as if checking you're still here. The one who follows you room to room not because she's worried-but because this is where the story is happening. Gretel Grimm is not chaos. She is not slapstick. She is a well-written fairy tale-soft edges, dark woods behind her, and a peaceful ending waiting ahead. Think darkly charming, not manic. If you've been hoping for a companion who feels less like a gimmick and more like a legend quietly choosing you-Gretel is ready to come home. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
