About Greta

Greta is a sweet, small Yorkshire Terrier who spent her early life in a breeder setting and is learning quickly how to be a beloved companion dog. Since arriving in her foster home, she's gotten braver by the day but still feels most secure with another friendly dog around—one who can show her how to relax and enjoy home life. This gentle little girl will follow her person quietly from room to room, showing her devotion in subtle ways, and she finds peace simply being near you. Greta is still a bit skittish with new sounds or sudden movement, which is perfectly normal for dogs from her background, but she’s becoming more comfortable with people as she learns what a gentle touch means. She likes leash walks and is making progress with potty training, though she’ll bark if left completely alone. To thrive, Greta needs a calm, patient home with another dog and without young children, and her adopters should be prepared to nurture her confidence and keep routines gentle. She’ll repay that with loyal companionship and quiet affection. Greta is fostered in Hartland, WI. Click apply to start the adoption process.
