Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**Please read Barney's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application. Thank you!**
Meet Barney, a 5-year-old Walker Coonhound / Beagle mix, weighing 55 pounds (as of 2/7/26). A sweet lady saved this angel from wandering the streets of North Carolina and brought him to us. Barney is sight impaired (though not blind) so surviving that long on his own is a true to testament to this boy's resilience! He's a miracle in every sense of the word and deserves, the best, more caring home to feel safe!
Barney is a super sweet and very affectionate boy. In fact, when he was rescued by the random lady that found him, he slept with his head on her shoulder all night to say "thank you." This boy LOVES to be close to his people. We're not just talking sleeping next to you, either. He will fully lay on you! And guess what? You'll let him. Why get out of bed when you have this lover boy giving you a big hug every morning?
Barney is great with every dog he meets, though sometimes he might feel vulnerable because of his eyesight. He'll occasionally get scared when bumping into things, but he hopes that after he gets adjusted to your home, he'll learn the lay of the land. Barney is also good with cats as the woman who rescued him had cats. While he only spent one night with the cats, Barney got the hang of being around them. Barney has only met kids on outings, but hopes to charm them too!
Because of his eyesight, Barney loves interactive toys that make noise, so he asks that you pretty please be creative when it comes to helping him adjust in your home! He's good on a leash and is fine being crated (in fact, he eats in his crate). He currently hasn't had any accidents at his foster's house, but Barney asks for grace as he adjusts to the potty rules of your home. He doesn't know any commands currently, but if you're open to teaching, he's open to learning! Just remember to have patience with him. As Barney always says, Rome wasn't built in a day!
When it comes to his medical history, Barney has Lyme disease due to the number of ticks that were on him when he was first found. Lyme disease has affected his kidneys, so he's currently on a vet-approved special diet that includes Doxycycline, Benazepril and other kidney supplements to help him. His foster has helped do bloodwork several times and his last kidney results showed improvements! Go Barney! He will need to stay on a special renal diet and Benazepril for the rest of his life; Barney hopes his future family will be there to help.
Despite all the odds, Barney is still pushing forward! He's looking for his next guardian angel and hope it'll be you! Adopt this miracle boy today!
All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be. To adopt or learn more about Harper Lee, you must fill out an adoption application.

This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs. The long distance adoption process includes talking to the foster they are living with in the south. Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally.
PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT.
If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted. To learn more about our *shelterless* rescue, adoption fees, and procedures, review the list of Frequently Asked Questions on our website at WWW.GDRNE.COM

As a shelterless rescue, we don’t have a building where our dogs are housed until they get adopted. We are lucky enough to have loving families who open their hearts and homes to our dogs until they are placed, but we need more foster homes so we can save more dogs. We frequently hold meet & greet events where the public can meet our furry freinds. Please check our website to stay tuned with our upcoming events,

More about this rescue
Great Dog Rescue New England (GDRNE) is a 501(C)(3) non-profit, shelterless, all-breed rescue group headquartered in Massachusetts. Our group is comprised of volunteers all over New England who love dogs and want to help those that end up homeless through no fault of their own. Loyal and loving dogs turn up every day in New England and Southern shelters, as owners turn them in or they’re found roaming the streets after being dumped. To the best of our abilities, we evaluate all of our Great Dogs’ temperament and suitability for living with other dogs, cats, and children. A dog’s health is checked, and we make sure they are up-to-date on all shots and are spayed or neutered. Then, we place them in loving foster homes until they find their very own family. Our goal is to meet the needs of each dog as an individual and to assure proper placement in a loving forever home.
Since September 2003, we have placed more than 3000 homeless and abandoned dogs in loving forever homes in the New England area. Every month, dozens of our Southern Great Dogs ride the transport north to their new forever and foster homes. The transport, which is licensed by the USDA, drives up as often as needed and arrives at our isolation facility in Harvard, MA. Our forever families and foster homes pick up their new dogs after the dogs receive a vet check and are quarentined for at least 48 hours per state regulations.
Often times our Southern adoptions are long-distance and we facilitate these adoptions by the transfer of pictures and information about the dog, and we arrange to have the adopter speak to a dog’s foster parents. When a dog is in a New England foster home, we are more than happy to arrange a pre-adoption meeting!
