Story
Meet Gretchen, a beautiful ~2-3 year old female German Wirehaired Pointer mix, weighing about 38 lbs! Gretchen is the loving mama of the Oktoberfest litter, born on 10/29/2025.
Gretchen was picked up as a stray in east TN when she was heavily pregnant. She was placed in a foster home, and she gave birth shortly afterwards to 8 adorable pups! Mama and pups are now in New England, and the pups are starting to head off to their furever homes now that they are old enough. Gretchen is ready to retire from mama duties and find a furever home of her own!
Gretchen is a very sweet, loving dog who is friendly and loves meeting new people! She is great with all people and kids. She just wants to be pet and loved on - we think she probably hasn't gotten much love and attention until recently, and now that she has gotten a taste of it, she is ALL about it! She does well with other dogs, although she can be a little jealous at times, she does adjust well and is BFFs with her golden retriever foster sister. She is also good with cats!
From Gretchen's current foster:
"Gretchen is a sweet, loving pup who only wants to give and get love. She loves attention and is your best friend if you allow her. She is a morning pup who enjoy sitting next to you eating a bone while you enjoy your cup of coffee. She gets so excited to be included. Amazing on a leash for walks, runs and gets along great with other dogs, cats, and kids. She has energy to play fetch which is a new skill she’s just picking up after pups were weaned off.
She is not timid at all, even when meeting for the first time, brand new people she goes right up to give kisses and sniffs, tail wagging the whole time. She is proud to show you how she can run and chase after her ball.
Knows how to read the room when you are sitting doing work she enjoys laying on her bed or next to you, or cuddling with my dog.
She is a dog so it is only natural for her to bark when outdoors, people pass, but only to get the attention for someone to pet her and say hi.
Gretchen is so sweet, and kind with her big brown eyes. She has grown tremendously and I could not be more proud of her."
Gretchen is medically up to date (awaiting her spay appointment in January), housebroken, and crate trained. Apply to meet this special mama dog today!

Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs. We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted. As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding!
