Meet Eugene, a 6-month-old Heeler / Aussie mix, weighing 30 pounds (as of 5/25/26). He's a happy-go-lucky stray who was rescued from the streets of Tennessee where he charmed everyone with his sweet smile. If you're looking for a dog with cuteness and street smarts, Eugene is the boy for you! Eugene is an outgoing, playful boy with a big personality and the confidence to match. He’s handsome and definitely knows it! He hopes you'll sign him up to become a dog model! That's always been his dream. Whether he’s showing off his good looks or proudly carrying around his favorite toy, Eugene loves being the center of attention among strangers and kids. This fun-loving guy is always ready for his next adventure. Going on a hot air balloon? A cruise ship? An exploration in the Amazon rainforest? Eugene is ready for it all and he'll have the sunscreen handy! He enjoys exploring, playing, and making every day exciting. Eugene also loves spending time with other dogs and would enjoy an active home where he can play and be part of the action. He still needs to test with cats, but he's so charming, he hopes he'll pass with flying colors! He loves going on walks and is fine when crated. Eugene's doing great with potty training, but his foster keeps him on a tight schedule, so hopefully his future family will too. His one "flaw" is that he does like to chase chickens but only to know why they crossed the road. One word for Eugene: Joyful. Bring this adorable bundle of fun 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.

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.
