Our vet has recommended that all dogs under 6 months not to spay or neuter the pups because they are too young and their bodies are not fully developed. Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first year.
ADOPTED ON 08-30-19: Greta and her brother, Gus, are Flat-Coated Retrievers and German Shepherd Mixes. They are about 35 lbs. and about 15 weeks old; DOB: 03-31-19. They were found on a Louisiana roadside sitting beside their deceased mother and sibling. Apparently they had been dumped and the poor Mother got hit and killed by a car! Most of us don’t know that the true rescuers are not with a rescue group, they have a kind hearted people that stop and pick up dogs and understand that they will need to find a rescue to help them; this is the rescue story for Greta and Gus, a kind special kind heart woman stopped and picked them up.
Flat-Coated Retrievers are an eternal puppy, brimming with happiness and energy. They adore people and will greet everyone they meet as if that person were their best friend. After a day of playing with the kids in the back year, the Flat-Coated Retriever will turn into a lapdog – don’t be surprised if you find him sleeping in bed under the covers. This breed is friendly and social and gets along well children and pets.
Please see “About the Breed” at the end of the bio for more details about them.
Greta is a normal, playful puppy, however, she does look after her brother Gus. She has a little more of the GS characters. Sometimes Greta in the beginning prefers to just watch, but after she feels comfortable she turns right into a playful pup. She does well around her southern fosters grandchildren, she is very gentle with them and they are gentle, respectful and quiet with her. The wonderful thing about puppies is they are young enough to learn and grow within the uniqueness of a family. However, Gus, our southern foster tells us that out of the many dogs she has rescued–it is no question–Gus is the sweetest dog, nicest dog she has ever met.
Greta is an intelligent girl and is the perfect mix of a delightful, charming, sweet & spunk in one ball of fur! She loves to play with toys of all shapes and sizes, but isn’t picky, a pair of old socks tied together is equally as exciting for her! Just like children, puppies are babies also, therefore, children need to be supervised when they are with any puppy or dog. Children can be unpredictable and dogs sometimes don’t understand their quick impulsive behavior.
We would like to see Greta and Gus in the same home, although they can be adopted separately. In their southern foster home, they are well socialized with dogs—sometimes as many as 20 dogs–as well as children. A fence would be a great place for them and children to play in, but not a requirement as long as the family is active and understands that they need to meet the exercise needs of a puppy.
As all puppies need a lot of love and patience, Greta gives the best kisses and would make a wonderful addition to a family willing to give her a lifetime commitment. In turn, she will worm her way into your heart and delight you with her puppy antics. If you are looking to make a difference this year to a deserving dog in need, then Greta would be

Flat-Coated Retrievers at first glance might resemble a black or brown Golden Retriever, but no such thing. She’s a distinctive breed, her early popularity, which peaked before World War I, was eclipsed by that of the Golden and Labrador Retrievers, but her fans think that’s for the best, preferring to keep the secret of his fun-loving yet hard-working nature to themselves.
It’s no surprise that the Flat Coat Retriever is one of the top ten most popular dogs in the U.S. They are highly intelligent, sociable, beautiful, and loyal. They can be slow to mature and retains the silly, playful personality of a puppy until three to four years of age. This breed has a sweet, gentle, people-pleasing personality.
German Shepherds are fierce but friendly, and have a calm confidence that may seem kind of reserved. When in need, however, a German Shepherd is instantly ready to protect, play a game or perform a task—in some cases as a guard dog, police dog, herder or seeing eye dog. With a strong work ethic and an eager intelligence, GS breeds are good with other dogs and children especially if they have been exposure to them.
