My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Quirky Greta is a scruffy little terrier mix who is approx. 7 years young, 7 lbs, and looking for her perfect person.

Background: For several days, Greta and her pal Buffy were running around terrified and unable to be caught by concerned neighbors. HARTT stepped in to help trap these girls and they made their way to foster homes where they await forever homes.

Personality: Greta is sweet, cuddly, and loving, but selective with her affections. She chooses her people, and there's no apparent pattern to whom she adores and whom she fears. If you happen to be one of her favorites, she loves you deeply. She'll roll over for belly rubs and give you the sweetest little kisses. Greta enjoys lounging in her stroller, playing with toys, and chewing on bully sticks. (Greta's stroller will join her when she gets adopted.)

Health: Greta is up to date on all vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and recently had a dental cleaning.

Training: Greta is house-trained and crate-trained.

Ideal Home: Greta requires a special home with love and patience. She would thrive in a child-free home with a confident female owner who will help her out of her comfort zone. (Sorry, fellas, Greta does not like men.) She likes to be spoken to in a high pitched baby voice. Greta is used to being around many different dogs in her foster home, but does best with small, calm dogs. She is also fine with cats but would likely do well as an only pet. Greta will not use a dog door and likes someone to accompany her outside when she does her business. A secure, fenced-in yard is essential to ensure her safety.

Adoption Requirements: Greta’s adoption fee is $350. If you live in the Phoenix metro area, have secure fencing, and think she could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*: helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application

*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a lifetime commitment. After an application and a verbal interview is completed and it is determined that the adoption is a compatible match, a contract is signed with specific guidelines. An adoption fee (usually between $250-$500) to help off-set medical, feeding and Rescue costs is collected. The contract states that at any time the adoption does not work out, the dog is to be returned to our Rescue group for alternate placement. The dog is not to be 'given away' or 'rehomed' or 'taken to the pound'. If there are other dogs in the home, they must meet prior to adoption. All family members in the household have to agree to the adoption. No dog is to be adopted as a 'gift'. No out of state adoptions.
