Greta is a gorgeous, 2-½ -year old, German Shepherd, who LOVES people. She is smart, super-obedient, and eager to please. This sweet girl was raised on a horse farm, and she’s done well with cats, horses, cows, goats, sheep, and llamas. Wanna take her on a trail ride? Saddle up! Although Greta’s fine with most dogs, she and her family’s much-older terrier simply cannot get along. Faced with a choice of re-homing one of them, her owners made the heart-wrenching decision to place her for adoption.

Greta is incredibly loving and loyal, and the most important thing to her is being with her people. Whether it’s a quiet day at home or a long walk at the park, she would love to keep you company throughout the day! A work-at-home or stay-at-home owner would be a terrific match, particularly if it’s a quieter home. Greta is house-broken and comfortable in a crate, and her house manners are excellent. She’s gotten along well with her family’s golden retriever, as well as other dogs visiting her owner’s horse farm.

Greta tends to be timid and nervous in new situations, and she hasn’t had a lot of exposure to men. She’s shown no aggression, though, choosing simply to stay away and stick by her people. Once she knows you’re a friend, be ready for lots of love and kisses!

Are you looking for a smart, affectionate, and loyal companion? Can you provide a stable, loving, and nurturing environment? If so, take a close look at Greta! This wonderful girl will brighten your days and warm your nights, and her beautiful face will light up every time she sees you. Could you be Greta’s perfect match?

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
