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 Nugget's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Nugget, a 3-year-old Lab/Boxer mix, who weighs 55 pounds (as of 12/30/25)! Nugget was found as a stray in Tennessee, but he's excited to brag to all his stray friends that he's found a fancy home in New England with you! Nugget is a shy, sweet, easy-going love bug who wins hearts wherever he goes which is great if you're single 'cause he can be your wing-dog! His absolute favorite thing in the world is his toys! He loves to play fetch, chew up his stuffies and carry them around to ensure everyone knows that he's the King Nugget and these stuffies are his prized possessions! Nugget is crate trained, leash trained, and fully house trained, making him an easy addition to just about any home. In fact, he'll even help you train your toddler 'cause that's just how thoughtful he is. Nugget gets along well with other dogs and has been around dogs ranging from 5 to 100 pounds! He's especially respectful of female dogs and is gentle with cats, too. We love a considerate king! His foster says that "once you give Nugget a chance, you’ll fall in love just like we did." So if you're tired of swiping left, try falling in love with Nugget instead! 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 Nugget, 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.
