She's done her time: Won't you give her some of yours?

Greta

120 days. That's how long Greta has been waiting to find her forever home.

When Greta arrived at the shelter back in February, it quickly became clear that a kennel environment was too overwhelming for her to stay in long-term. After a few weeks with little to no interest from potential adopters, Greta entered a loving temporary home through the CVHS foster program. Despite remaining available for adoption while in foster care, adopters have continued to show minimal interest in this gorgeous girl.

Greta is sweet, affectionate, and playful, but can be quite timid. Though she takes a while to warm up to new people, her personality shines once she gets to know you! Her foster home has allowed her to build confidence away from the stress of the shelter, and Greta has been making steady progress. Thanks to the work of Greta's foster parents and the examples set by her canine foster brothers, she is coming out of her shell a little bit more every day. Though her experience in her foster home has been helpful to her growth, she cannot stay there forever.

Greta would do best in a forever home with fellow canine companions. Being around other dogs eases some of Greta's nervousness, and her personality comes through when she's with her four-legged friends. Some of her favorite activities include rough-housing and going for walks with her two foster fur-brothers.

Greta is still working on building her confidence when she's on her own with her humans, but has made significant strides in the right direction. However, she will need continued support her forever home to keep up her positive progress.

Her foster mom says, "Greta had shown increased confidence over the past weeks and is even excited to go for walks with me without one of our other dogs tagging along. She has also started showing a lot of progress with the "sit" command. She's a great road trip companion, too!"

Greta is a smart, loyal, and loving pup that can be a little anxious at times. She needs a forever home with a calm environment and patient humans that will help her feel comfortable. Greta would LOVE to have a canine companion (or two), but must go to a home without cats and with kids aged 14+.

120 days is too long for any animal to be without a home. Don't keep Greta waiting any longer.
