Sparkle and shine! Meet Sapphire Sparkly, a 6-week-old Black Lab/Flat-coat Retriever mix, weighing approx. between 5-8 pounds (as of 6/1/26). The SPARKLY litter will easily make everyday feel like you're Scrooge McDuck jumping into a pile of gems! They hail from Tennessee, but can't wait to SEE you! Sapphire is the pup most likely to be found reading a book about philosophy in her spare time. This girl is loyal to her people and might even share some wisdom with them when she's not exploring every nook she can find. You'll love her adventurous spirit and adorable cuddles! She won't share any of her jewelry collection with you, but you're more than welcome to look at it from afar. The super friendly Sparkly litter have lived with other dogs and absolutely adore children. They haven't been exposed to cats yet, but cuteness recognizes cuteness, no? Since they're still young pups, they hope their precious owners will have patience when it comes to all things puppy training like potty, leashing, commands, and crates-though they're making great progress on crates! Who needs a treasure chest when the real treasure is a Sparkly pup in your home! 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 Sapphire Sparkly, 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.
