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, even designating a specific spot for her business. Greta is also crate-trained, making her a well-mannered companion. When she first meets new people, she can be a bit shy and fearful, but with patience and kindness, her true, super friendly personality blossoms. She adores having her head petted and will often offer her paw in sweet gratitude. While Greta would thrive in a calm and peaceful home, she's still an active dog who enjoys her exercise and would love a family that understands her need for both gentle reassurance and regular activity.
Ideal Home
Greta would do best in a calm and peaceful home with a fenced backyard. She needs an active family that enjoys outdoor activities and has a genuine intention to rescue a dog, understanding the unique needs of a street animal. Prior experience with dog behavior and training is preferred, or a willingness to hire a trainer. High tolerance and patience for rescued puppies are essential.
Ongoing Health
Greta has completed a comprehensive health protocol including being spayed/neutered, vaccinated (DHPPI, Rabies, Bordetella), dewormed, and microchipped. She has also tested negative for heartworm and 4DX, and is on monthly preventive protection (Nexgard Spectra) for fleas, ticks, and heartworms. A health certificate and vaccination booklet are available.
Training & Support
While Greta is house-trained and crate-trained, the listing notes that rescued dogs may not be house-trained, and she will require a high tolerance and patience. She needs patience and kindness to feel safe and build confidence. It's important to understand that rescued dogs may have experienced trauma and require an adjustment period. Patience, a loving environment, routine, and clear boundaries will help her feel secure and build trust.
