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 Caine Class' entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Caine Class - a 2 year old, Hound mix, who weighs 55 pounds (as of 1/13/25). How has this handsome boy been waiting for more than SIXTEEN MONTHS for someone to choose him? ~Quick UPDATE (4/8/26): He went home with some college kids for 5 days and did great!! No accidents, very well behaved and just an all around good boy for them. Is good on a leash and had a terrific time.~~ Caine was brought to the shelter with his siblings as puppies in 2023. He is a bit shy at first but will warm up to you with a little patience - he just needs to build trust. And who can blame him - this boy was dumped in a yard and now has spent more of his life in rescue than not. He likes other dogs and really likes to play, and is definitely a submissive boy so he would do well with almost any other dog. He does very well on walks and in the car as well. We haven't seen him around cats before and he doesn't have much kid experience. But he is a gentle soul. We think he would thrive in a calmer environment where he can blossom at his own pace. He will need some adjustment time to learn all his house training manners in a new space. But he is happy to learn and follow the rules. No dog should spend this much time without a forever family!!! Please make your New Years Resolution to give an amazing dog in need the home that he deserves! 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 Caine Class, 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.
