This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs.

This golden girl is ready to MELT your heart! She's spreading smiles one paw at a time!

Meet Butter - a 1 year old, Shepherd mix, who weighed 52 pounds (as of 8/22/25). This golden girl is from Tennessee and is ready to find her forever family.

Her foster shares: "Butter is full of love, curiosity, and playful energy! She loves making friends everywhere she goes - both 2 and 4 legged alike.

She is house trained, well mannered on her leash, and does great with other pups (she's currently living with 9 others).

After you meet her, you'll find she is impossible to CHURN away! She's the full package and the only thing she's missing is a family to call her own!"

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.

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.
