Meet Roscoe Ruffles - a 3 year old, Chihuahua mix, who weighs 10 pounds (as of 9/29/25). This sweet little boy was found as a stray in Mississippi and looking for his forever family!

UPDATE from his foster mom: Roscoe is a very sweet little guy. He can be timid at first but after a couple days here he is already attached to me and shows more of his silly personality.

Now that he is comfortable with me, he has no qualms about jumping in my lap and demanding attention when he wants it. He loves to play with small toys.

I wouldn't recommend him to a home with very young children. Older kids that can understand and respect his boundaries and allow him to warm up and seek attention on his terms would be okay.

He gets along with our resident dogs fine, but is very attached to his fellow foster sister Millie. He gains a lot of confidence from following her lead.

He would benefit from a confident resident dog (and would probably prefer them to be close to his size), but I think with love and time, he can learn to be brave on his own as well.

He dreams of a home where he can share all of his love and curiosity with someone (or some people) special. If you're looking for a gentle companion to share your life with, Roscoe Ruffles is waiting for you!"

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.
