About Gretchen

Meet Gretchen, a sweet and playful young Labrador Retriever mix who’s about 10 months old and weighs around 35 lbs. Found as a stray in the Lisbon area, her initial days were tough, but she’s ready for a fresh start in a loving home. Although she’s a bit shy at first, Gretchen warms up quickly with patience and kindness. She’ll thrive in a family that can help her learn basic training and house manners, as it seems her previous life offered little guidance. Gretchen is friendly with other dogs and enjoys their company, making her a great playmate for another active pup. She also shows a gentle disposition towards the cats she’s met at the shelter. Given her young age and eagerness to learn, she’ll need a home that’s committed to helping her settle in and adjust.
