Roses are red. Violets are blue. We've got a cutie. Her name's Cat Ballou! She's an 11.5-week-old Australian Shepherd / Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, weighing 14 pounds (as of 8/27/26). She was surrendered by owners in Tennessee which is super lucky for you! Run, don't walk, to adopt this beauty today! Why, you ask? Cat Ballou is: - A whole lot of personality packed into one adorable puppy. - Spunky, smart, friendly, and fearless. One look into those sweet eyes and she’ll melt even the Grinch's heart. - Energetic, but not hyper. The perfect puppy spirit! - A pup who loves playing with dogs her size and with bigger dogs too. She’s meeting the cats in her foster home and learning that some are more friendly than others. She also loves kids and strangers. Cat Ballou has also mastered the art of keep-away with toys—so well that she’s now better at it than the dog who taught her. We have no doubt with the right family, she'll learn all the puppy training basics and grow to not only be the best family member she can be, but potentially a mayor of a small town! This sweet girl is ready to bring her playful spirit, smarts, and endless charm to your family. Don't wait! 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 Cat Ballou, 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.
