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 Koa's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Koa, a 1-year-old Pointer/Lab/Boxer mix, who weighs 50 pounds (as of 2/24/26). This dog scout was found wandering the streets of Tennessee but she can't wait to get off the streets and into your home! Koa is everything a dog scout should be: sweet, calm, gentle and easy under pressure. When it comes to accomplishments, this girl has not only been socialized by her amazing foster, she has also badges in kayaking, hiking, and swimming! That's right! This pup has had more exercise in one year than you have in months! But that's okay 'cause she'll never make you feel bad. She loves her people even if they have zero wilderness skills. Koa currently goes to doggie daycare and gets along with the dogs there. She even teaches classes on how to be the best dog scout! In addition to dogs, Koa lives with various farm animals and behaves gently with them all. She's had experience with cats and will occasionally chase them but only to play, never to hurt. She's a dog scout after all. Koa also lives with toddlers and is kind spirited towards them which we all know is difficult especially once they reach the terrible twos! But Koa stays chill through it all like a true friend. She is crate trained and leash trained and just asks that you have patience with her as she adjusts to your home. Koa can't wait to find her fur-ever family! Will it be yours? 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. To adopt or learn more about Koa, you must fill out an adoption application.

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.
