He's so lucky, he's a star! Meet Lucky, a 4.5-year-old Lab / Australian Blue Heeler mix, weighing 55 pounds (as of 5/27/26). Lucky was surrendered by his owners in Tennessee because they could no longer care for him. He'll always love his family. He hopes he'll find a new loving fur-ever home. Here's what Lucky had to say: "Hi, I’m Lucky! No, really. You're gonna win the lottery with me around! I’ve got an energetic spirit and would love a family who enjoys adventures, exploring, and spending time outdoors with me. Whether it’s walks, hikes, playing fetch, or just riding along for the day, I’m always ready to be your loyal sidekick. And even better, I'll be your accountant for those lottery wins! No one will scam you on my watch! I would like an experienced dog person who will teach me how to be the best companion since I had a rough start. When I was a stray years ago, I was hit by a car and gave up on living until I was rescued by my current person. Unfortunately, he's in poor health and can't take me with him when he moves soon. I will need some TLC to get used to new surroundings and routine. I am sure I will bond with you once we get to know each other. I've got a lot of love to give! Even though I enjoy stretching my legs and staying active, I don't mind relaxing and being a couch potato with my people after a fun day of jumping into money piles like Scrooge McDuck. I’m affectionate, loving, very loyal, and I bond closely with the people I love most. I make friends with other dogs, and while it's unknown if I've met kids, I'm hoping they'll love me too. I haven't met cats either. I've had minimal experience on a leash, have experience being crated and haven't had any accidents. It's possible I may have a high prey drive, so hopefully there aren't too many pesky squirrels around the neighborhood! I’m looking for an active family who wants a best friend. One who will give me love, guidance, and plenty of time together. In return, I’ll give you my whole heart, lots of companionship, endless loyalty, and all the luck in the world." 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.
