Meet Louie, a 1-year-old Lab / Great Pyrenees mix, weighing 60 pounds (as of 5/8/26). Louie was a stray in Tennessee, but he's looking forward to telling his stray buddies all about the New England lifestyle! Friendly, cheerful and adventurous, Louie is a loving gentle boy who'll make you feel like a king (or queen!) Among his favorite things, he loves holding your hand and being close you. This boy is a cuddle buddy to the max who wants nothing more than to snuggle up on those cold, wintry New England nights. What can be better than that? Louie is also very well mannered and good in the house. He seems housebroken for the most part and walks well on the leash. He hasn't been crated yet, but he does well in a closed off room at his foster's. When he's not giving you all the loving in the world, Louie enjoys running and playing with toys in the yard. While he doesn't have a high prey drive, he will occasionally chase after any pesky squirrels in the neighborhood (just for fun). His adventurous and loyal spirit make him the perfect hiking buddy because he'll never leave your side, even when the ice cream truck comes by. Louie is good with cats, kids, and other dogs (the perfect trifecta!) Louie can be a little mouthy while playing (this guy still thinks he's a puppy!), but he's working on it with his foster's. This handsome boy can't wait to join your home! Adopt Louie 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 Louie, 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.
