Greta

My story

Miss Greta is a quirky little terrier mix who is approx. 6-7 years young and 7 lbs. This little scruff muffin—with her silly mohawk and bushy eyebrows—is searching for her perfect person. Background: For several days, Greta and her pal Buffy were running around terrified and unable to be caught by concerned neighbors. HARTT stepped in to help trap these girls and they made their way to foster homes where they await forever homes.  Personality: Greta is sweet, cuddly, and loving, but selective with her affections. She is wary of new people, but we are working on her socialization skills and she is making progress. Once you break through and earn her trust, Greta will love you deeply. She'll roll over for belly rubs, snuggle up next to you on the couch, and give the sweetest little kisses. Greta enjoys going for walks, lounging in her stroller, playing with toys, and chewing on bully sticks. (Greta loves her stroller so much it will be included with her adoption.) Health: Greta is up to date on all vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and received a dental cleaning. Training: Greta is house-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained. She does not use a dog door. Ideal Home: Greta requires a special home with love, patience, and a family who will continue to work on her confidence-building. Greta would thrive in a child-free home with a confident female owner who will help her break out of her comfort zone. Greta is less comfortable around men. She is used to being around many different dogs in her foster home, but does best with small, calm dogs. Greta is also fine with cats but would likely do just fine as an only pet. Greta will not use a dog door and likes someone to accompany her when she goes outside. A secure, fenced-in yard is essential to ensure her safety. Adoption Requirements: Greta’s adoption fee is $350. If you live in the Phoenix metro area, have secure fencing, and think she could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*: helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application  *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.  February 17, 2025, 8:28 am
