Meet Gladys! 🌟 This beautiful eight-year-old German Shepherd mix is a heartwarming blend of strength and sweetness, weighing in at a glorious 103 lbs! 🐕‍🦺 She arrived at the shelter on December 28, 2025, after being found wandering in unincorporated San Leandro. It's a true testament to her resilience that she’s ready to spread her love again despite what she’s been through. Gladys is not just a dog; she’s an experience waiting to be had! ❤️ Imagine cozy afternoons filled with cuddles, long walks where she gets to explore the world, and her gentle nature wrapped around your heart like a warm blanket. It's like having a guardian angel by your side – loyal, loving, and ever so protective. Plus, how much fun will it be to take a majestic pup like her to the dog park? Just picture her prancing around, tail wagging, bringing joy to everyone she meets! 🎉 Ready questions arise: why hasn’t anyone just swept her off her paws yet? Perhaps it's because they haven’t glanced at this shining gem just yet! She's been vaccinated and will be spayed and micro-chipped, so you can rest assured she's getting the best care before joining your family. And if you adopt her on a Sunday, guess what? Her adoption fee of $35 will be waived, and her spay surgery will be sponsored! How’s that for a Sunday surprise? 🍀 Gladys is searching for a forever home where she can morph into the fabulous family member she was meant to be. Her big heart is ready to share love, laughter, and a few playful moments—especially with humans who have plenty of cuddles to give! This sweetheart is just waiting for that special person to come along and say, "You're coming home with me!" 🌈 Don’t put off this amazing opportunity!
