Description:

​Meet Gretel!  Gretel is a hilarious, adorable, and endlessly entertaining 2-year-old pup who’s still figuring out grown-up dog life. She may look mature, but her puppy energy shines through in everything she does—she loves to zoom around, play, and will happily shower anyone she trusts with hugs and kisses.

Gretel is still mastering her manners, including housebreaking and learning not to mouth hands or jump when she's excited. She’s looking for a dog-savvy adopter who understands the complexities of resource guarding and can help her continue to blossom.  Gretel can take a little time to warm up—especially to men—but once she feels safe, you’ll enjoy her incredibly sweet, silly personality every single day.

Gretel will thrive with an owner who’s patient, experienced, and ready for both her joys and her challenges. She’ll reward you with affection, loyalty, and endless laughter as she grows into her best self.

Due to her playful energy and occasional resource guarding, Gretel would do best in a home without children under 12 and is also not recommended for homes with cats.

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
