Gretchen is a small, mix-breed girl, approx 11 years old, and is so sweet and cuddly. She looks like a German Shepherd only in miniature form. She is a real cuddler and loves to curl up in a lap. Gretchen was taken into a shelter after being hit by a car and was within hours of being euthanized. She was saved and is now cared for in her loving foster home. Gretchen is crate trained and house broken. She has some separation anxiety where she will bark constantly when left alone. She has settled well and become more secure in her foster home and no longer barks when her foster Mom goes to work. She gets along with other dogs, and plays with the dogs in her foster home. Gretchen is a very smart girl.  She will fetch her own leash to go for a walk, which she loves to do.
