gretel

Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!

Gretel may still be a puppy, but she already has life figured out. This bright little Miniature Poodle is confident, adaptable, and incredibly observant. She settled into her foster home with ease, quickly learning the routine and making herself right at home alongside her four canine foster siblings.

She’s a thoughtful little girl who isn’t shy about letting you know what she needs. When she’s hungry, she’ll patiently sit by her kennel. When it’s time to go outside, she’ll wait by the door and occasionally give a little bark. And when she’s ready for a nap, she’ll simply hop up on the bed and settle in for some well-earned puppy rest.

Like any young pup, Gretel loves to play! She enjoys both soft plush toys and durable chew toys and is wonderfully content entertaining herself when needed. She has excellent manners for her age, only chewing on appropriate toys and chewies, and her foster family has not seen any signs of resource guarding.

Gretel is both potty trained and crate trained, sleeping quietly through the night in her kennel and going potty outside. In the mornings, after breakfast and a potty break, she’s all about the cuddles and loves spending a little quiet time snuggled up with her people.

Because she’s still a puppy, Gretel is just beginning her adventures and hasn’t learned leash walking yet. For her safety, she’ll need a securely fenced yard where she can run, play, and continue building her confidence while she learns. With her intelligence, sweet nature, and eagerness to please, Gretel is sure to grow into an incredible lifelong companion for one very lucky family.

I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!

**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
