About GRETSKY

SAY HELLO TO GRETZKY! Gretzky is a very handsome 7 year old Shih Tzu / Jack Russell mix boy. Weighing in at just 16 pounds, this little sweetheart was surrendered through no fault of his own. Gretzky's elderly owner became ill and was no longer able to provide care for him. Gretzky has been a woman's dog and was raised in a quiet household with other dogs. He has been rather sheltered and has not had a great deal of experience in the big wide world. He's protective, eager to please, loves to be on your lap an behaves well in the car. When meeting strangers, he is wary of them ~ again, because of his sheltered life that consisted of his owner and his housemates. So when you meet him for the first time at your meet, he will be not be overly exuberant! But when he gets comfortable, he's so snuggly! He just needs someone who will give him a day to chill out! He plays with his foster family's dogs, slept in their bed, and lets the whole family pet him! Gretzky's ideal adopter would be a mature single woman or an adults only home or adults with older teens that live a laid back quiet lifestyle. Gretzky's white with red coat is of a medium length and is low maintenance and hardly sheds. He would require occasional brushing and would do well with a professional grooming once in awhile. His hair does not grow long and rarely mats. This sweetheart of a guy would make a wonderful addition to your family! He is low key and low energy. Gretzy's adoption fee is $225. This fee includes his Veterinarian Wellness checks while here at the rescue, his neuter, all vaccinations including rabies and bordatella, de-worming, a pre-adoption professional groom and a microchip with lifetime membership. Gretsky will also have a new collar and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality grain free kibble that he has been eating. His adoption fee also allows us the ability to put funds towards the next little one in need of rescue!
