Gretchen von Getelo is a stunning 3-4 year old long haired German Shepherd with a striking presence and a very affectionate nature with people. She is a good-sized female who starts her outings with a calm, sweet demeanor. Her heart truly belongs to people. She loves to greet everyone and will enthusiastically close the distance the moment she hears her name or senses affection is on the way. Gretchen is mid energy, responds to verbal cues and will do best in a home with some experience. On walks she maintains a leisurely pace right by your side, and likes to gather all the information she can by sniffing her environment. She can do well walking alongside other dogs, and mingling with respectful dogs in playgroup, but doesn't need another dog in the home. (Cats are not on her friends list.) Gretchen is currently located at the Westside rescue facility in Los Angeles, CA, but can be adopted and transported anywhere is the US and Canada. Transport costs vary based on destination. Ground and air transportation is available to most locations within the US (Except Hawaii) and Canada. Our dogs are transported to a predetermined location agreed upon by the rescue. The adoption contract and fees are finalized prior to transport. If you are interested in adopting use the links below.
