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 Derry's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Derry, an 8-month-old Boxer mix, weighing 38 pounds (as of 2/26/26)! This girl was found fending for herself in the hard Mississippi streets, but she can't wait to be pampered and loved in a soft and cozy home of her own! Derry is a delightful pup with a heart full of joy. No really, she's like Joy from Inside Out. All happiness and sunshine! At her foster's home, she's known for her sweet nature, boundless energy, and playful spirit so if you're looking for a dog will all of those qualities, she's your girl! Derry loves everyone she meets and makes friends with both humans and other dogs. She's also lived with cats! Sadly, none of them were named Garfield though. Her loyalty shines through when she follows her favorite volunteers around, eager for a game or a cuddle. Derry is crate trained but will need help with leashing and learning commands from a patient family. Derry would thrive in a loving home where she can share her enthusiasm for life and bring smiles to her new family every day. Bringing Derry into your life; her friendship is a gift that keeps on giving when your friends stop giving you gifts! 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.
