Gretchen - German Shepherd Dog and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Lebanon, Missouri

Meet Gretchen!

Gretchen is an approximately 3-year-old Shepherd x Border Collie mix who is still waiting for someone to see just how special she is.

Gretchen came to us from Hills n Hollers Rescue, and as we understand it, she was originally found as a stray. Because of that, we don't know much about where she came from or what her life looked like before rescue. What we do know is that Gretchen has already been a momma. She raised her puppies, watched them grow, and eventually watched every one of them leave for their forever homes.

And now... she's still waiting.

Gretchen is a shy girl when she first meets you, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet and affectionate personality starts to shine. She really enjoys human attention and seems to be longing for that one-on-one connection with someone she can trust. She's also done well with both dogs and cats, making her a lovely little companion who just needs someone willing to give her the time to come out of her shell.

It seems like Gretchen may have been forgotten somewhere along the way. Her babies got their happily-ever-afters, but no one has stepped forward to give Gretchen hers.

She's spent enough time taking care of everyone else. Now it's Gretchen's turn to be someone's girl.

Her puppies found their forever homes. Now we're hoping someone will finally look past the shy girl in the kennel and discover the affectionate, loving dog waiting underneath.
