Meet Frances - a 1.5 year old, Australian Shepherd / Collie mix, who weighs 53 pounds (as of 3/23/25). This sweet girl is looking for a new home after being found as a stray. She wandered into someone's yard with a broken cable tie attached to her collar. We're not sure what exactly happened but we were unable to find her previous owners so we are here to help her find a new family to call her own!

Her foster shares: "Frances is very friendly and knows a couple of basic commands. We are assuming that she was previously living outdoors (given the cable tie), so she would need a family who can teach her what it means to life indoors. Given her breeds, she is an active pup who would do best with a family who understands her breeds, and what she needs for adequate exercise. She'd love to find a family who could bring her on adventures and take her for long walks. She previously lived with two children (ages 3.5 YO + 12 months), and was great with them. She can get excited at times, so we just have to be careful that none of the kiddos get knocked over. She also loves being around other dogs and would love to have a resident doggy BFF (but not a requirement). She is ready to love and hang out with her forever family!"

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.
