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 Momma Shyla Shortcake's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Momma Shyla Shortcake, an approx. 1-year-old Terrier mix, weighing approx. 18.5 pounds (as of 3/1/26). Momma Shyla gave birth to the SHORTCAKE litter and they all happen to be a mix of Australian Kelpie, Heeler and who knows what else! Just like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get! Momma Shyla was a stray in Mississippi, but now that she's done weaning her pups, she's in search of a world of pure imagination, i.e. spending fur-ever in Candyland with you! Momma Shyla Shortcake brings all the sweetness you could ever want! She loves her people so fiercely and will never leave your side even when you're particularly gassy that day. Since she's still young, she loves to play and is even happier knowing her babies will all go off to loving fur-ever homes. This Momma is ready to be pampered with belly rubs and kicking her feet up for foot rubs, so get to cracking! She's great with other dogs (especially smaller ones) and cats. While she doesn't have experience with kids yet, Momma Shyla hopes she can charm them too. Momma Shyla is good with crates, but might need some patience as she adjusts to your home when it comes to commands, potty training, leashes, etc. For your help, she'll make you all the shortcakes you can eat! Get those forks ready! Adopt Momma Shyla Shortcake 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 Momma Shyla Shortcake, 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.
