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 Azure Artist's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** A new painter has arrived! Meet Azure Artist, an 8-month-old Korean Jindo Dog / Carolina Dog / Akita mix, weighing 35 pounds (as of 4/4/26). This lovely beauty and her sister, Sienna, were strays dumped at a rural library in Tennessee. But they kept themselves occupied by reading books on art history and painting techniques which have helped them grow as artists. In fact, they're planning a gallery tour in New England! You don't want to miss an opportunity to commission them 'cause these girls are going places! With striking blue eyes and an even more beautiful soul, Azure is a professional cuddler who truly thrives on human affection. Don't be surprised if she's inspired to paint a picture with you in it! She loves her people dearly and will create art that celebrates them, even if you personally don't find it flattering. Everyone's a critic. Whether she’s out for a walk or enjoying playtime, Azure's eyes will always light up with pure joy. Like every starving artist, she is very food-motivated, so giving her food / treats will make her a star student. In fact, she's even picking up commands quickly! If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants to be by your side through it all, grab a paint brush and let Azure teach you the best techniques to paint a gorgeous life! The Artist sisters are great with other dogs and while they haven't had experience children yet, the girls hope to impress them by painting their portraits too. Everyone wants to be a muse after all! As an artist, they're so tied to their work which means they'll need help with learning commands. They are working on leashes and are slowly learning that crates are okay. They both did fine when they were cat tested. They appear to be housebroken. These girls can't wait to add a splash of color and creativity to your home! 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.
