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

This girl is a certified cuddle consultant!

Meet Buffy - a 12 year old, Shih Tzu / Lhasa Apso mix, who weighs 10 pounds (as of 4/24/25). It's not often an amazing dog like Buffy comes along - so you don't want to miss out on this sweet girl! Buffy was found as a stray. She was alone and her fur was matted and she was full of fleas. This little lady was most likely used for breeding, and then when she was not longer able to be used for breeding she was tossed to the side as if she didn't matter. We know that Buffy matters and we are going to help her find a loving family!

Her foster shares: "Buffy is approximately 12 years old and she is the perfect size to be a lap dog (which also happens to be her favorite spot to sit). She is super sweet, silly, and outgoing. It feels like she knows she was saved and is so grateful.
Buffy is active and loves to be a part of everything you do. She is partially deaf
and doesn't have a lot of her teeth left, but that never slows her down. She has a great appetite and enjoys being near her person. Buffy is great with other dogs, and great with children (but would recommend older kiddos). While we will never know Buffy's full story, we know she has a zest for life and has nothing but love in her heart. Bring this girl home and we guarantee that she will make your days happier and brighter!"

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.
