About Gretchen
Gretchen is a true New Yorker at heart, having spent her life in the city after being adopted as a puppy. Recently, circumstances changed when her original person became ill, and Gretchen found herself adjusting to new foster homes. The transition hasn't been easy, and she misses her old family, but she's determined to keep loving and connecting. In her foster experiences, Gretchen has shown she likes to keep her favorite person in sight, especially in cozy apartments where she feels safe. Social with people, but Gretchen likes to size up strangers before deciding if she can trust them. On the sofa or with a belly rub, you can quickly get on her good side. Other dogs are a no-go for her right now—she's spooked and reactive, so her ideal home is one where she's the only dog and her people are comfortable working with her at her pace. Apartment life suits her, especially with her cherished blanket and some quiet time, though she still enjoys an occasional romp outside on leash. Gretchen is as loyal and sassy as ever, not ready to slow down just because she's a senior. She's house trained, spayed, and fully vaccinated. With a patient family committed to her, she'll be the most faithful companion you could hope for. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
