Meet beautiful Greta -- a devoted mama whose nurturing heart is just as big as her gentle spirit. 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. Though heartbreakingly not all survived, she and her three remaining babies were welcomed into a loving southern foster home, where she has continued to shine as the most attentive, devoted mama. Her puppies are thriving -- and like their wonderful mom, they are also looking for forever homes. Now that her little ones are growing and becoming more independent, it's Greta's turn to be cared for and cherished. When she's not tending to her puppies, 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. Greta gets along fine with her canine foster siblings and 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 -- the kind of home where she'll finally be the one being nurtured instead of always doing the nurturing. After everything she's been through, Greta deserves a lifetime of comfort, security, and love. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a resilient spirit and a heart full of devotion, Mama Greta may be your perfect match.
