Gretel

I am trying a new home to see if i like it. Gretel is a dear little dog about the size of a miniature foxy but with the wiry coat of an australian terrier. Gretel came from a life of neglect and loneliness and, when she first came to her paws foster carer, she clearly had never been inside a house and slept outside for the first night. However she soon discovered the joys of a heater and later found the lounge room and the pleasure of a comfy doggy bed. Gretel is quiet, has not been heard to bark but likes your company and comes for a cuddle now and then. She is no longer timid, but is wary to begin with until she knows who she can trust. Gretel can sometimes be a little playful, like a puppy, with an enthusiastic greeting when you come home but has not yet learned to relax on a lap. She has learned to sit for treats and to come when called but is still rather scared of a lead and is unfamiliar with going for walks. Gretel is a house dog, house trained, loves her food and sleeps quietly in her little bed all night. Her coat is easy care and just a wash and brush will keep her looking beautiful. She'd love to share a home with a quiet person or couple, maybe retired, perhaps with gentle visiting grandchildren. She would also like a quiet doggy companion of similar size for company. With lots of patience, love and care she is sure to become a treasure to a dog lover and give many years of joy to her new owner. Gretel comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with nsw local council lifetime registration for $400 and is not available for adoption outside nsw. She has also had a recent dental (teeth cleaned under anaesthetic). If you would like more information on gretel or to arrange to meet her, please phone 0466 690916 (between 8am and 7pm only) or email using adoption enquiry as your subject heading. Before phoning or emailing, please check denise's rescued dogs in foster care on www. Paws. Com. Au for any updated photos and to make sure this dog is still available for adoption. Listed 30 may
