Meet Gretel! Gretel is a big, lovable Shepherd mix with a gentle spirit. At just over 6 months old and already around 60 pounds, she is going to grow into a large companion with a massive heart. Affectionate and friendly, Gretel adores being close to her humans, thrives on attention, and gets along wonderfully with children and other dogs. She's even been around cats and simply ignores them. Born on January 31, 2026, Gretel, along with her brother Bavo, has been lovingly cared for since she was a mere week old in a foster home. These two are the last of their litter, and they are eager to find their forever homes. Smart and treat-motivated, Gretel is well on her way to becoming an excellent adult companion. You don’t have to adopt her with Bavo; each is ready to join a family of their own. If you have room for a big, sweet, affectionate dog on your couch, send in your application today!
