Meet beautiful Greta, a devoted mama whose nurturing heart is just as big as her gentle spirit! Greta is an estimated 1.5-year-old, 45lb female Labrador Retriever mix who is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm negative.
Greta's journey hasn't been easy. She was found wandering the streets of Memphis in December 2025, heavily pregnant and trying her best to survive on her own. When she arrived at the shelter, it was also discovered that she had an issue with her left eye. A veterinary exam revealed an old corneal injury that left her with limited vision on that side. Thankfully, it doesn't slow her down one bit -- she has adjusted wonderfully and navigates life with confidence and grace. Just one week after being rescued, Greta gave birth to seven puppies while still in the shelter. She and her three babies were welcomed into a loving southern foster home, and her babies all found loving homes when they were ready to start their own adventures. She has continued to shine in her foster home as her mom learned who she was as Greta the dog rather than Greta the Mom. Her puppies are thriving -- and now it is time for this young lady (she is still a puppy herself) to go on her own adventure. It's Greta's turn to be cared for and cherished.
Greta's favorite place is right beside her people. She absolutely adores being cuddled and will happily follow her foster mom from room to room just to stay close. She loves gentle pets, cozy companionship, toys, and chewing on Nylabones. She also enjoys stretching her legs outdoors and taking in the world around her.
Ideal Home
Greta would do best with a family who can give her the attention and companionship she craves. She absolutely LOVES being outside and is up for walks and hikes, but is equally contented just sunbathing in the back yard. While not required, a fenced-in yard would absolutely be her happy place. After being independent, Greta doesn't love the leash. She will walk with you, but she can be reactive to other dogs while leashed. This is NOT the case when she does not have the leash on!
Ongoing Health
Greta has a corneal injury in her left eye that has left her with limited vision on that side. This does not slow her down, and she navigates life with confidence.
