I can assure you that Greta was born an animal lover, and I speak with authority because I gave birth to her. Greta grew up in a home full of animals .... dogs, cats, rabbits, fish etc. Greta asked for pets as gifts and received our beloved family cat, Charlotte, on her 6th birthday. At that point Greta became primary care giver for the cat, and certainly number one fan. Greta is madly in love with our family dog, Charlie, and was a huge help in training him and caring for him. Greta is a natural care giver and spent her teen years caring for children, and loving her role as camp counselor each summer. She is nurturing and calm and has always been able to handle whatever is thrown her way. Since living in NYC Greta has volunteered regularly at an animal shelter and has a lot of experience taking the shelter pups out on strolls around the city. Greta will be a great friend to your treasured pet!
