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. TO APPLY: 1) copy/paste this link https://gdrne.com/adopt/adoption-application/ 2) OR at the bottom of the page click on "Adoption Policy" and then it will bring up the adoption application. Meet Jillian, a 9-month-old Lab mix, weighing 45 pounds (as of 6/22/26). This joke-cracking girl previously lived in a pound in Tennessee (which is no laughing matter). She's getting all her best jokes ready to keep you smiling everyday with her charm and silly antics! Jillian is a cheerful, friendly girl who loves being part of the action. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a ride in the car, a quick trip for a pup cup, or amateur night at your local comedy club, she's always excited to tag along for the adventure (and the laughs). She's great with dogs, kids and strangers who will instantly fall in love once she tells them her favorite knock-knock jokes! We're not sure if she's met cats yet, but hopefully they'll find her funny too! She has been working hard on her leash skills and is making great progress. Jillian is also learning the ins and outs of living in a home and does fine in a crate. Like any young dog, she still has a few things to learn, but she's eager to please and takes guidance well. While she hasn't had any accidents at her foster's, she hopes you'll have patience as she adjusts to potty training in your home. Jillian has a happy spirit and an affectionate personality that makes her easy to love. She would thrive with a family that enjoys spending time together and including their dog in everyday activities. Gentle, sweet and wonderful, this girl is a catch! 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.
