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 Ellie's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Ellie, a 2.5-year-old Hound / Boxer mix (though your guess is as good as ours!) who weighs approx. 55-60 pounds (as of 3/14/26). Ellie's owner can longer care for her, so she's ready to start finding her next fur-ever family! Ellie is a true southern princess. You'll be so enamored by her gentle mannerisms and kind heart. She's the kind of dog that would make you homemade sweet tea on a hot summer day. You know, if she had thumbs. But it's the thought that counts! She never meets a stranger; everyone's a friend to her which means people will flock from far and wide to talk to this sweet girl. She loves dogs and children. We're not sure about feline friends, but who knows? When she's not playing and having a grand old time with you, you can find her saying Southern expressions like "Well, butter my backside and call me a biscuit!" Ellie has no problem curling up and taking a nap since she's not a bounce off the wall kind of girl. She is calm, cool and collected which is perfect if you're also that way or need help to be. She would enjoy leisurely walks on the beach or on a trail. She's working on her leashing and potty training and hopes you can have some patience as she adjusts to your home. Ellie can't wait to bring some Southern charm to your life! 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 Ellie's, 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. 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.
