My story

Gretchen and Buffalo should’ve been named Marshmallow Fluff and A Hot Cup of Cocoa On A Snowy Day because they’re nothing but sweetness and warmth. At 12 years old, you’d expect them to be yelling at the puppies to get off their lawn, but nope! They’re good with cats, they’re good with dogs, their favorite pastimes are napping in the sunshine and smelling the roses on a leisurely stroll. They do take a minute or two to warm up to new people, but given what they’ve been through, earning their trust is one of the greatest joys you’ll ever experience. Gretchen may have lost her hearing, though she does give the occasional "Awooo!" when there are treats involved. These two are the chillest pups you’ll ever meet, so if you want a couple of furry friends to just hang out with and go on the occasional adventure, Gretchen and Buffalo are your new best friends. Come meet the dogs that remind you what happiness and peace feel like. Good with: Dogs, cats, slow strolls, people (after a bit of time and a few slices of cheese) Not good with: Craziness. They’re seniors, they like to nap. Also, not a huge fan of cars. The first time they went into a car was at 11 years old, so honestly, fair enough. Housetrained: Yep! Breed: Heeler mixes Size: Buffalo is 67 pounds, Gretchen is 47 pounds. Gender: Female (Gretchen), Male (Buffalo)

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Gretchen, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
