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 Poncho's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Poncho - a 3 year old, Bluetick Coonhound / Treeing Walker Coonhound, who weighs about 65 pounds (as of 12/15/25). This handsome boy comes to us as a stray who was abandoned in North Carolina when his previous family moved and left him behind. The landlord didn't know what to do and called us for help! His foster shares: "When Poncho officially entered our care, he was scared and confused. It seems like the had spent most of his time outdoors and had to learn what it meant to live indoors. However, in a short time, he has become the best dog!! Given his history, he knows he does not want to lose sight of his humans ever again. So, he not only wants to be close to you, but he will just lay on you (for as long as you'll let him). He seeks your approval and is always looking for love and attention. He's great with our other dogs, and enjoys joining you as your co-pilot for adventures in the car! We love this boy very much and can't wait to find him a new forever home where he will be shown all the love that he deserves!" 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.

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.
