Gretchen

Fill out an adoption form

Meet Gretchen, a sweet little puppy with a heart as big as her future. Rescued before she could be used for breeding or as a bait dog, this precious girl now has the chance to find the loving forever family she has always deserved.

Gretchen is a happy, affectionate pup who loves to follow her people, snuggle close, and enjoy a little playtime. She gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes, is respectful of cats, and has been wonderful with the children she's met.

She's also doing great with crate training, happily sleeping through the night and resting quietly when left for short periods. House training is still a work in progress, so she'll need a family ready to continue teaching her all the skills every puppy needs.

Like any young puppy, Gretchen is still learning her house manners and will need a family committed to continuing her training, socialization, and all the responsibilities that come with raising a puppy.

If you're looking for a loyal best friend to grow up with your family or become your constant companion, Gretchen is ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and puppy kisses. All she asks is for someone to give her the happy ending she's been waiting for.

Unless you're an experienced dog owner and your Adoption Coordinator is comfortable with your experience, you will be required to attend puppy training and/or behavior classes. Our goal is to help you and your puppy build a happy, successful, lifelong relationship.

Important Information:  Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. Our dogs are cared for in foster homes throughout the South and New England.

Your adoption donation helps cover veterinary care, transportation, and other expenses for your adopted dog. It also helps us continue to save senior dogs and dogs with serious medical needs or injuries. While their adoption donations are often reduced, their veterinary costs are typically much higher.

When you adopt a young, healthy dog or puppy, you're also helping us give another dog a second chance. Thank you for supporting our mission and making rescue possible.
