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 Buddy's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!**

His name says it all - you've always got a friend with Buddy by your side!

Meet Buddy - a 5 year old, Shepherd mix, who weighs 56 pounds (as of 7/13/25).

His foster shares: "Buddy has a heart as big as the ocean and a personality that will keep you laughing. Did we also mention he's smart?! He is your typical Shepherd and knows lots of tricks and commands. But, his favorite command is 'cuddle'. He is a loyal friend who is always by your side and he is ready to lend a paw or a comforting nuzzle whenever you need it most. He loves making friends - both two-legged and four-legged alike! He loves being around children and has also lived with cats and does well wit them, too. He is always up for a game of fetch or a leisurely stroll with his humans. He is the kind of dog who is sure to make your house feel like a home. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and intelligent companion, then Buddy is your guy. Adopt him and get ready to start your forever friendship!"

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.
