Meet Heavenly - a 2 year old, Boxer/Bulldog mix with Dane, Dogo Argentino and maybe a few other breeds thrown in, who weighs 59 pounds (as of 1/30/25). It is pretty obvious how this girl got her name - she's truly a gift form heaven!

Heavenly is deaf but that doesn’t stop her from being the sweetest and most loving girl we've ever met. Her deafness allows you to sneak a snack (or treat from the jar) without her noticing. Her disability also means no barking when someone rings the doorbell, or howling if there are sirens nearby - it's a win / win! All she wants is a family to love and call her own! She will need someone committed to training her in a way that she can understand since she cannot hear you. She is a blank slate, just waiting on the person that can be her hero. She is a smart girl, and very teachable. She is crate trained, and doing well with house training. Heavenly's new home will need to have a fenced in yard. She is not a fan of cats, so she needs a cat free home.

From her local foster: Heavenly is just the sweetest! She is pure joy and love. She’s deaf, but it barely affects her. She absolutely loves to play! When she’s done, she is just a big lap dog and cuddle bug. Heavenly gives the BEST kisses! She has the typical goofy and lovable Boxer personality, and is constantly making us smile and laugh. Her fur is so soft, like velvet. I can’t stop rubbing her head and ears - and she’s not complaining about that! I have been keeping Heavenly in a room with a baby gate rather than a crate and she’s doing wonderful with that. Once she falls asleep, she’s out! She sleeps like a champ while I’m at work and overnight. She’s very alert and easy to call back inside when out, because her eyes and nose work overtime to make up for her loss of hearing. She needs to learn basic commands but since she is an adult dog, she really is very well behaved, both in the house and out. Heavenly is such an amazing dog, and would be staying here if I didn’t already have a full house! If you’re looking for a super fun loving dog that wants all the love and affection, she’s your girl!!

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.
