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 Loretta's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Loretta, a 2.5-year-old Yellow Lab / Hound mix, weighing 40 pounds (as of 3/13/26). This lady was found as a stray on the streets of Tennessee and is ready for a fur-ever home with you! Loretta is one of those dogs with an older-person-sounding name which, honestly, makes sense for her. She's an easygoing girl with a calmer personality, but loves to play when given the chance with other dogs. She absolutely loves the outdoors and going for hikes on a sunny day and she's sure that'll help cheer you up on the hard days too. Sure, you can't yell at your boss, but outside, you can yell at the sky instead. Whatever makes you feel better. Loretta won't judge at all. She is house trained, leash trained and has done well with cats and kids. She's also good in a car, does well with recall and doesn't wander far if you happen to leave your front yard gate open. She'll just hang out in the front yard while you freak out until you realize she's been there the whole time. Loretta is a sweet soul who can't wait to charm you and the rest of your household. Bring this girl 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.

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.
