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.

Meet Brutus, a 2-year-old American Bulldog mix, weighing 57 pounds (as of 5/18/26). Brutus was living the stay life in Mississippi but was hoping he could trade that and live the cozy life with you! When he's not making new friends or laying around, Brutus LOVES to be petted. In fact, that's his favorite thing in the world, so please keep the doggie massages coming! He might even tip you 25%. Okay, maybe 18%. Brutus is not a hyper boy. He's a total (and adorable) couch potato looking for his couch potato family. He's even got a cute nickname for his future fam: The Snuggle Spuds! Brutus has lived with other dogs, but hasn't met cats yet. He also doesn't mind children. If they just gave him pets all day, they'd easily become his favorite (aside from you, of course). Good on a leash and crate (though he's only used crates for vet visits), Brutus will need extra help adjusting to your home when it comes to potty training. Bring this sweet teddy bear home and get ready for lots of loving! 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 Brutus, 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.
