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 Rocky Bullwinkle's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** The adventure's just begun! Meet Rocky Bullwinkle, a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix, weighing 50 pounds (as of 2/23/26). This clever boy hails from the streets of Tennessee as a lost and found. Since his owners never claimed him, he'd use his rocket-like flying abilities to wow passersby in exchange for treats. Now he hopes he can upgrade to being a New England house dog with treats everyday! When he's not moving at the speed of light like a flying cartoon squirrel, he's nuzzling up on his people and giving them lots of love. Rocky is a friendly boy who we presume was in a home before because of how sweet and gentle he is. He'll fit right in your home with his playful nature and might even save you from the various villains in your neighborhood. Talk about a hero! Rocky knows how to "sit", does well on a leash and crate and is also house trained. If you have a doggy door, even better! While Rocky is happy to fly the skies solo, he does get a long with other dogs as well in case you have any at home. He hasn't had experience with cats or kiddos yet, but is curious to try and see what they're all about! He's the sweetest boy who doesn't like to be scolded (who does, really?) and will do anything he can to make his people happy. Yup he'll even tell you that jacket goes with your shirt when it clearly doesn't! It's whatever makes you happy. Rocky would thrive in a home that has a big yard with an active family with a taste for adventure. He loves exercise and hopes you will too! Rocky, however, has one secret: He doesn't know his name! That's right! When Rocky Bullwinkle joins your home, he's more than happy to rebrand and take on a whole different name so choose wisely or he'll forever judge your choices just like that jacket! Rocky is a handsome boy looking for his fur-ever sidekick! Bring him home today! All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of 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.
