Greta - LOCAL in CT

Meet beautiful Greta -- a devoted mama whose nurturing heart is just as big as her gentle spirit. Greta has been living in foster care in New England for a while, and we have learned a lot about the kind of home she will do best in. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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<br/><br/>Greta's puppies are thriving in their Forever Homes, 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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Greta is both house trained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to a loving home. She thrives on affection and would do best with a family who can give her the attention and companionship she craves. <br/><br/>She would prefer to be an only dog in the home. She is reactive to other dogs. Her reactivity takes the form of leash pulling and a whole lot of barking. We do not want to put her in a place where she feels the need to amp up that reactivity into truly unsocial behaviors. She would do best in an area without too much traffic, where she won't constantly be passing other dogs out on walks.<br/><br/>Greta LOVES being outside. She is up for walks and hikes but it equally contented just sunbathing in the back yard. While not required, a fenced in yard would absolutely be her happy place. <br/><br/><br/>Name: Greta<br/>Breed: Black Labrador Retriever/Crossbreed (DNA testing has not been done and therefore no guarantees are made with regard to this dogs breed mix).<br/>Sex: Female<br/>Age: 1.5 years (estimated)<br/>Weight: 45.0<br/>Spayed/Neutered: Yes<br/>Vaccinations: Up to date<br/>Heartworm: positive, PAWS will pay for the cost of treatment at a partner vet<br/>Microchipped: Yes<br/><br/>BASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:<br/>Good with Children: Over 12<br/>Good with Dogs: No<br/>Good with Cats: Unknown<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $550.00 (includes transport fee when applicable)<br/> $100-150 additional mandatory quarantine fee for Massachusetts residents.<br/><br/>Location of dog currently: New England<br/><br/>IMPORTANT INFORMATION - <br/><br/>Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England. <br/><br/>Adoption donations cover pre-adoption veterinary costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age-appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England, if necessary.<br/><br/>Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse, whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.
