**Please read Stanley Skates's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Stanley Skates, a 6-week-old Black Lab mix, weighing 6 pounds and 2 oz (as of 4/13/26). This boy was born locally with the rest of his SKATES litter when their then-pregnant mom, Ella Mae Momma Skates, came to Great Dog from the South. Lucky for you, the Skates litter are actually famous athletes who can't wait to skate their way into your heart! Stanley (aka Stanley Cup) is the top dog and he knows it! Spunky, playful, and always ready to be the center of attention, Stanley skates through life with confidence and charm. A spitting image of his mama, this handsome Lab brings loyalty, heart, and just the right amount of mischief. After a good romp-around with his siblings, he likes to plop down right next to mom in all his floppy cuteness and take a good nap. Whether he’s chasing fun or soaking up love, Stanley is the kind of best friend you’ll carry through life like a hard-earned trophy: your very own Stanley Cup! The Skates litter play well with other dogs and should be good with kids because of their teensy and sweet nature. They haven't met cats yet, but even felines recognize when they're in the presence of greatness! Since these pups are still young, they'll need love and patience with all things puppy training (potty, crates, leash, etc.) They can't wait to show you some skating tips 'cause it's too embarrassing watching you fall in the rink! Bring some of their puppy loving home today! 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 Stanley Skates, 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.
