Gretna is a happy, people-focused girl with the most adorably goofy run, especially when she’s racing back to her favorite humans. Sweet to her core, Gretna loves affection and will happily wrap herself around your legs asking for scratches. In playgroups, she’s been respectful and easygoing with both male and female dogs. True to her hound nature, Gretna spends much of her time happily sniffing along the yard’s edges, occasionally joining in for quick play sessions before returning to her important scent investigations. She seems like a wonderful match for most friendly, medium-energy dogs and would love a family to adore.
Although Gretna is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. The Friends of Wake County Animal Center have provided a $600 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment. Email HealaHeart@outlook.com for more information.
Gretna is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick prevention, and is microchipped. If you have cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
Gretna is currently being housed at the Wake County Animal Center’s Adoption Center and can be visited any day from noon – 6 p.m. If you’re interested in learning more about Gretna, please reach out to the Wake County Animal Center’s volunteer matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line “Gretna, 267831.” Adoptions are first-come, first-served; you must meet with a pet in-person before the adoption process can be started.
