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.

Meet Emmy - a 10.5 month old, Lab / Bulldog mic, who weighs 35 pounds (as of 10/14/25). Emmy's story is truly incredible and you would never know how much this sweet girl has ben through when you look at her smiling face. When Emmy was a young puppy, she unfortunately was in a house fire and severely burned. After the devastation of the fire at her home in Tennessee, her previous family knew that they would not be able to cover her medical bills and care required to help her burns heal, so they surrendered her to a local rescue where they knew we could help fundraise and ensure she received proper care.

Emmy has undergone THREE (3) surgeries and has received around the clock care to make sure she healed properly and recovered. It has truly taken a village of dedicated volunteers to ensure she had the best care. She has received lots of love, attention and care throughout this entire process and is now able to live the life of a normal pup. She is an absolute angel and we refer to her as our miracle!

Emmy has always been happy, loving, outgoing, just the most amazing girl all around. The trauma she endured has never impacted her personality or her love of life. She is amazing with other dogs, loves cats and is great with children. We might be a bit biased, but she is everyone's favorite at the rescue. Emmy is house trained, crate and leash trained. Emmy may need continued care throughout her life (think: sunscreen during summer months and sweaters in the winter) but that's a small price to pay for endless joy and love with Emmy. This sweet girl has such a sweet personality and an amazing story - all 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.
