Story
Not only was she the best momma — but she also was a surrogate momma to 2 of Blues puppies! She’s a really special GAL and she’s been waiting patiently for her turn Meet Vinaigrette Vinaigrette has a soft and truly gentle soul. She’s taking everything in at her own thoughtful pace and learning that she’s now safe and loved. Fostered with other dogs, Vinaigrette is dog friendly, polite and has nice house manners. She’s crate trained while her foster is at work and does great! She’s a quiet, calm girl who can be shy at first, but once she feels safe, her sweetness really shines. Vinaigrette would do best in a more quiet low-key home, ideally with another friendly dog to help her build confidence. She’s the kind of dog who takes her time, but forms a deep, special bond—and she’s so worth it. 3 yo/45 lbs mixed breed sweet quiet girlwould love another friendly dog in the home crate trained completed Heartworm treatment altered, utd on vaccines + microchipped  ready for adoption 4/9 - apply today to bring her Can’t adopt?

Story
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 Patron Spirits' entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Patron Spirits, an 8-week-old Carolina Dog/Anatolian Shepherd mix, weighing 13 pounds (as of 1/30/26)! Patron hails from our SPIRITS litter and was born in Tennessee to nice, mellow medium-to-large breed dogs. While the owner is keeping Momma, this litter was surrendered so they could find a top-shelf fur-ever home in New England! The best thing about Patron is that he brings the fun of Mexico to you! He's an exuberant boy who's the perfect companion for anyone who needs a night out! Bonus points is that he also loves kids and plays with other dogs, so he'll be the most popular boy on your block! Even strangers will come up and ask to party with you (but you gotta check with Patron because you can't just invite any Joe Schmoe!) Since Patron is still young, he'll need some help with puppy training, crates and commands from his future family. In exchange for your help, he'll give you complimentary glasses from all the places he's traveled (mainly Tennessee, but hey! Have YOU been to Tennessee? If not, then take the win.) Patron can't wait to add some fun flavor to your family! Bring this sweet boy home 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 Patron Spirits, you must fill out an adoption application. To find the application, copy and paste this URL into your browser: WWW.GDRNE.COM/ADOPTION-APPLICATION [Adoption Fee: $575] ** 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. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works. 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. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee 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.

Story
Arlo is a sweet 3 year old dog. He is intelligent, playful and sometimes goofy. He loves his basketball and will bop it with his nose to keep it rolling and chasing it or pick it up and goof around. He has a good disposition and has been well behaved with other dogs. Right now he goes to daycare twice a week and has done very well. He would thrive in an active environment. A farm or home with a backyard and a playmate would be ideal. Arlo has separation anxiety so he would need an experienced adopter who can be with him the first few weeks to work with him on staying alone. So far I haven't found anything that rattles him, he has not been bothered by fireworks, wheel chairs or sudden loud noises. He is curious and friendly his ears are usually pinned flat against his head when greeting you. The adopter will have to be able to afford to properly care for Arlo. If the right person comes along we can re-address the fee. Thank you.

Story
Your Future Partner in Fun and Shenanigans! Looking for a four-legged comedian who can turn even the dullest day into a laugh riot? Well, Dewey is your guy! This 1.5 to 2-year-old Carolina Dog mix weighs in at a sleek 45-50 pounds of pure joy and mischief. Dewey is the kind of pup who believes that life is one big playground and everyone's invited. He's playful, happy, and has a knack for making you forget that you just stepped on his chew toy (again). With a personality as vibrant as his wagging tail, he's sure to keep you entertained with his goofy antics and infectious enthusiasm. Despite his playful spirit, Dewey knows when to dial it down. He's got that perfect mid-level energy—ready for a backyard adventure one minute and a snooze fest the next. He's crate trained and considers his crate the ultimate chill zone for his nightly doggy dreams. Got other pets? Dewey's cool with that! He's been living it up with canine buddies of all shapes and sizes and hasn't met a fur friend he didn't like. As for humans, he's a certified lovebug who thinks strangers are just friends he hasn't licked yet. If you're in the market for a loyal sidekick who's equal parts fun and affection, Dewey might just be your perfect match. But be warned: adopting Dewey may result in excessive smiling, random bouts of laughter, and a lifelong supply of unconditional love. +++++++ ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://form.jotform.com/210515484620146
