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

Meet Piper - a 7 month old, Shepherd / Terrier mix, who weighs 28 pounds (as of 8/26/25). She was found as a stray in Mississippi after following her foster parents home one afternoon. She knew they would be the ones to help save her - and boy, was she right!

Her foster shares: " Piper is a smart, curious young girl who is seeking love and attention from anyone willing to offer it to her! Within the first week of entering our care, she got to go on vacation! She traveled very well with us and has done a great job in the car. She walks well on the leash (it seems to come naturally), and does well with a harness. She has a very athletic build, but is otherwise fairly low-key and is able to settle down and relax when the time comes. She is
not overly energetic, but does seem eager to play. She does well with other dogs her size or bigger. She seems to be interested in smaller dogs so might do best in a home without smaller animals (small dogs and cats). She would love to be your travel buddy and would love to tag along on all of your adventures!"

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.
