HELP GRETA FIND HER FOREVER HOME
Our long-time, beloved client, Greta, needs a new home. Due to an unfortunate change in circumstances, her adoring owner is no longer able to provide Greta her best life. Could you or someone you know be the perfect fit?
Greta is a beautiful 4-year-old, pure-bred German Shepherd. She weighs in around 100 lbs., has been spayed, and is in good health apart from some hip pain (possible beginnings of arthritis). She is on a special diet as she has corn and wheat allergies. She is fully housetrained.
Greta is not used to being alone, so is not crated. When her owner works long hours, she either stays with Kokomo Home Buddies or a relative. She bonds very quickly to “her people” and is a devoted, loving companion with naturally strong guarding instincts. She is affectionately known as “a big, needy baby” who loves cuddles and attention.
Her favorite thing in the world is chasing balls. She likes keeping one in her mouth while chasing another and will play this version of fetch until she drops. She has a tendency to guard balls in a playful manner, but the occasional accidental graze of teeth can happen if you’re not careful. She also enjoys tug and going for car rides. If her hips are bothering her, she can have a little trouble jumping into high-sitting vehicles. Greta isn’t much of a chewer. She loves squeaky toys and will nap with her favorites. She is used to being around children, but may play a little too rough for very small/young children.
Greta is the play hard, nap hard type. She likes to play hard for 10-15 minutes at a time, then nap for a couple of hours. She wants to be wherever you are and is happy to snooze at your feet or nearby. She is great about going to the door to let you know she needs to potty.
She is used to going with her owner everywhere and is very bonded to the humans she loves and is good about meeting new people. She also loves long walks, but needs practice walking to heel instead of chasing squirrels. She has the typical German Shepherd stubbornness and would benefit from someone working with her on developing her obedience skills. She has been an escape artist in the past running out of doors and getting loose, so a fenced yard is a must. She knows “sit” and “no,” and does well when those commands are enforced consistently.
Greta is a sweet, silly, loyal, playful, sometimes bossy, devoted girl used to being the center of attention. She needs a home where she can run and play and not be alone. She does not get along well with other animals, so needs a home where she is the only pet. If you believe you can provide a loving home where Greta can enjoy the mental and physical exercise, and companionship she needs, please submit an adoption application which we will pass along to the owner. If you are the right fit for Greta, you will be rewarded with the most devoted, loyal friend you could hope for.
