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 Violet Bloom's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Spring is coming and so are these pups! Meet Violet Bloom, an 8-week-old Black Lab/Mountain Cur mix, weighing 9 pounds and 6 ounces (as of 2/27/26). She and the rest of her BLOOM litter were found in a cardboard box at a Walmart in Tennessee with a "free" sign on it. These pups deserve better than that! The Bloom litter is sure to bring as much happiness as a bouquet of flowers (without the hidden spiders)! When you think of Violet, you probably think of the color purple or that obnoxious girl from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but THIS Violet is neither! She's sweet, affectionate and super playful. She loves her people and will keep you plenty occupied with her infectious puppy energy so put the phone and play with her! You can stalk your ex tomorrow. The Bloom litter gets along with other dogs, have experience with cats and love the kiddos! Get ready to be ignored 'cause these pups are sure to take center stage! Since they're still puppies, they'll need help and patience from their fur-ever families when it comes to potty training, commands and leash training. They do have experience with crates, so that's one less thing to worry about! But they'll bring so much sunshine to your life, you won't even mind at all! What's your favorite flower? We hope violets! Bring Violet Bloom home today! 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 Violet Bloom, 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.
