Gretel’s story didn’t start this way. Adopted as a puppy, she grew up in a home of her own—but after a recent misunderstanding with a small child, this gentle soul has found herself back in search of a fresh start. Now at 6 years old, Gretel is hoping for a calmer, adult-only home where she can finally settle in for good.

Born on February 20, 2020, this Basset mix has truly mastered the art of being the perfect house companion. She’s a professional lounger, happiest curled up on the couch, quietly keeping you company. Fully potty trained and well-mannered indoors, Gretel makes everyday living easy—no chaos, no fuss, just steady, loyal companionship.

She’s what you’d call a true “people dog.” Gretel doesn’t need a pack—she just needs you. In fact, she’d prefer to be your one-and-only, soaking up all the love and attention in a peaceful home where she can feel safe and understood.

Why She’s the Ultimate Couch Companion

🛋️ A natural lounger who loves relaxing by your side
🏡 Fully potty trained and well-behaved indoors

✔️ An adult-only home where she can feel secure
✔️ A pet-free household—she wants to be your one-and-only

Gretel isn’t asking for much—just a quiet place, a soft spot to rest, and someone to love her for who she is. After everything she’s been through, she deserves a home where she can finally stay for good.
