Greta is a sweet and gentle Labrador Mix girl, approximately 7 years old and weighing around 66 lbs. She has a loving heart and is house-trained, doing her business in a designated area. She's also crate-trained, making her a well-mannered companion. When Greta first meets new people, she can be shy and a little fearful, needing patience and kindness to feel safe. Once she gains confidence, her personality truly blossoms; she becomes super friendly, loves head pets, and often offers her paw as a thank-you.
Ideal Home
Greta would do best in a calm and peaceful home. She is still an active dog who enjoys running and moving around and would love a family that understands her need for both gentle reassurance and regular exercise. She requires a home with a fenced backyard.
Ongoing Health
Greta has received a spay/neuter certificate, DHPPI and Rabies vaccines, Bordetella vaccine, has been dewormed, and is microchipped. She has a negative 4DX test and heartworm test certificate and is on monthly preventive protection (Nexgard Spectra for fleas, ticks, and heartworm). She also has a health certificate and vaccine booklet.
Training & Support
Greta is house-trained and crate-trained. However, it is important to note that many rescued dogs require an adjustment period and may not be house-trained. Patience and understanding are crucial for rescued dogs as they may have fears and anxieties due to past experiences. Families should be willing to provide a safe and loving environment, establish a routine, and potentially hire a trainer to help Greta succeed.
