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 Aria's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Aria, a 5-year-old Black Lab mix, weighing 45 pounds (as of 3/13/26). This lady was surrendered by her owner who could no longer take care of her. Aria will always love her previous owner in Tennessee, but she's looking forward to starting fresh with a new family! Aria is a typically fun lab girl who's got an appetite for adventure! She's active, happy and LOVES to play fetch. All you need is some tennis balls and she's set. She won't even mind if you're not the best thrower! Just try not to pull a muscle like last time, okay? Aside from running around, Aria also enjoys getting into water so any pool, creek, lake, etc...is just a cherry on top! Call her Aria, The Little Mer-Dog! I guess that makes you Sebastian? She has been with other dogs of various sizes, and has done well with them all. She is great with people and is sure to entertain your kids for those days you need to go cry in a closet. Aria loves meeting new people and will bring a ball over as her way of "greeting" them. Let's play! She's hasn't been exposed to cats yet, but hopefully they'll like her! Aria is house trained, has been on a leash, knows some commands and is good in a car. She can't wait for her next adventure with you! So what are you waiting for?! 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.
