My name is Gretchen, and I'm a sweet 2-year-old 15-lb. Rat Terrier. I'm a warm, bubbly ball of energy, and I love everything and everyone! I like being with people of any age as long as they play and give me belly rubs. I'm especially fond of my canine foster brother, and I even snuggle up to my three feline foster siblings. A smart and well-mannered lass, I'm fully house-trained and crate trained. Also, I've learned how to sit and wait, although I may wiggle in place the entire time I'm sitting (it's that ball of energy thing). I walk well on a leash, and I'm friendly with everyone I meet in my travels at the park. If you give me the playtime I need to burn off all my energy (a favorite activity is playing ball--you throw and I'll catch!), at night I'll sit next to you and then snuggle up as we drift off to sleep together. I'll be careful not to move too much so that everyone gets a good night's rest. Mmmmm....doesn't that sound heavenly?
