Meet Gretchen
The number one thing humans should know about us German Shepherds is that we are people persons. So don’t get one of us if you’re looking for a yard ornament. Try a pink flamingo, resin gnome riding a bunny, or one of those colorful metal pinwheels that whirls in the wind. Not a dog.
Foster Mom isn’t sure if I was a yard dog, but by the looks of my condition I probably wasn’t a pampered indoor pooch with pillows and pearls. Speaking of pearls, my teeth are adorable aren’t they. My teeth are actually my favorite body part because I use them for my two fave activities, chewing on hooved toys and eating food. Food! Food! food! Let’s hear it for food. Give me a F, give me an O, give me “a whatever next letter spells FOOD”. Yay. Food. I get very excited for it.
Due to my neglected condition Foster Mom says my age is definitely a wag, a wild a-word guess. The shelter said 2-3, but maybe older, again, a neglected dog can often look older than a well-cared for dog, so Foster Mom put 4 years old just to be conservative.
As do many dogs in south Texas, I have heartworms. Heartworms come from mosquitoes so if your dog is bitten and not on regular parasite medicine, it happens. Foster Mom started me on medication and can tell you about it.
I’m house and crate trained. I do have some anxiety and get anxious at times. My favorite thing is to see and be with my person. I do get along with other dogs, but humans are my focus. Dogs can’t open treat jars, so why bother!
If you’re looking for a sweet gentle girl who had a rough start to life, but you wanna show her the good life, apply for me. Food. Please have some.
