About Gretchen

Meet Gretchen, affectionately known as Gretch—or as I enjoy being called, “Beautiful Girl.” At just a year old, this playful Pit Bull Terrier is full of energy and charm. With her short, white and cream coat, she’s ready to capture hearts. Gretchen loves a good challenge, especially when it comes to food puzzles and sniffing adventures. She enjoys watching the world from a balcony or indulging in a game of fetch with herself—yes, she really is that iconic. Though she's still perfecting her training, she is crate trained and making strides on her potty training. This medium-sized beauty thrives in an active home that offers the physical and mental stimulation she craves. She gets along wonderfully with children and once her energy is burned off, she’s all in for cuddles and cozy moments. Ready to meet your new furry companion?
