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 Daphne Bridgerton's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Dearest gentle reader: It should come as no surprise that Queen Charlotte's coveted title of Diamond of the Season was recently bestowed upon the affable and most beautiful Daphne Bridgerton, a 9-week-old Border Collie mix, weighing 15 pounds (as of 4/3/26). Despite being surrendered by their owners in Tennessee, the BRIDGERTON family has risen above their humble beginnings to become a worthy house known for grace, elegance and civility. But of course, the Bridgerton that shines brighter than all of the queen's imported jewels is none other than Daphne Bridgerton. Yes, if sweet Daphne was a portrait, her likeness would exude so much grace and warmth, it would eclipse even the most exorbitant fine art gallery. Among the Ton, Miss Daphne has been known to take hearts wherever she goes. Gentle, affectionate, and ever so attentive, she delights in companionship and is happiest by the side of her loved ones. Or dare I say, lovers? Beneath Miss Daphne's soft and doting nature lies a bright and eager mind, ready to learn and please with the right instructor. With such high praise, the Bridgertons would be the most excellent companions to dogs and children. Although they have not yet graced the presence of felines, perhaps an introduction is in order? Or even more preferable, a match. Due to their youthful age and sensibilities, the Bridgertons will require assistance in the ways of the Ton: using the chamber pots (potty training) and leisurely strolls with leading cords (leashing). The family will also require assistance with chests (crates), though one must note that they have used chests while traveling to neighboring lands. Progress indeed. With their charm and benevolent nature, this author firmly believes any New England estate would be fortunate enough to adopt a member of the lovely Bridgertons for the rest of their years. Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown 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.
