Get ready, Freddy! Or should we say, Eddie? He's a sweet 4.5-year-old Miniature Pinscher/Jack Russell Terrier mix, weighing 37.5 pounds (as of 5/18/26). Eddie is so happy to not be a Tennessee stray anymore, he even wrote his own bio: "Hi, I’m Eddie! I’m a fun-loving guy with a calm, friendly personality who enjoys being around people and making new friends. Basically, I'm a dog version of Elmo from Sesame Street! I have a sweet nature and a good balance of playful energy and laid-back companionship that's perfect for any hard-core adventure or couch potato family. Life hasn’t always been easy for me. I came in as a stray and ended up in a home where the other dogs weren't very kind to me, so I was injured after being attacked. Even after all of that, I’ve stayed loving and gentle and still enjoy getting attention and affection from people. I can be a little shy at first, but once I get comfortable, you'll become my favorite person! (Aside from the ice cream trucker drivers. They always give me a discount!) I'm happy to coexist with other dogs and even though I haven't met cats or kids yet, I realllllly hope they'll like me! Medical Disclosure: Since I was on the streets, I had a tick-borne illness called Ehrlichia but taking antibiotics for 30 days has helped so much! I'm good on a leash and in a crate. I may need a little patience with potty training as I get used to life indoors. I’d really love a safe, caring home where I can finally relax and feel secure. I’m ready for a fresh start with someone who will give me the love and kindness I deserve. Might that be you?" 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 Eddie, 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.
