Meet Gretel

Apply For Gretel

Gretel is the silliest being I’ve ever met. She is so full of life and energy, it’s motivating. We know she didn’t have a great past, and there’s really point dwelling on it because that life is in the rear view mirror!! I would love to see her have a dog buddy to wrestle and run with in her happy forever life. Gretel can come on a bit strong, so it can’t be just any dog. She needs a dog who has patience for a puppy pest! Gretel is mostly house-trained but still has an occasional accident from previously living outside. It took a little bit of time to get her to understand she ONLY potties outside, but she’s 90% there! She’s very treat motivated and loves to learn. It has been a very fun and rewarding experience working with her this far! I can’t say enough good things about this pup. She’s incredible!

Michelle Y is her foster parent. The adoption fee for Gretel is $300, please complete our online application formspeak to a volunteer if you are interested in adopting Gretel. A volunteer will contact you.

All Kalamazoo Animal Rescue dogs & puppies are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Dogs have been heartworm tested and if appropriate (age and time of year) all dogs and puppies are given heartworm preventative. All are given medication to rid them of roundworms and checked and treated for fleas & ear mites, if needed. Dogs and puppies are given distemper vaccines and depending on how long the pet has been in foster care, additional distemper vaccine(s) may be necessary and the expense will be incurred by the adopter. Any canine over 4 months of age is brought current on the Rabies vaccine. Additional vet care may have been provided depending on the particular animal's needs. Dogs are individually priced as above.

It is in the best interest of pooch and owner to enroll in an obedience class soon after adoption. After all, you have a lot to learn about your new friend. Both PetSmart and the Kalamazoo Dog Training Club offer a discount to owners with newly adopted dogs. Enroll before any behavior problems start - you won't regret it!
