Meet Pontiac - a 6 month old Pointer mix boy from Georgia. As of this posting on 7/7 he weighs 40 pounds.

Poor Pontiac came into the shelter as a stray with a shattered leg and there was just no way to save it, so it had to be amputated. But this boy is no worse for the wear and is doing wonderfully adopting to being mobile on just 3 legs. We will be adding more pictures and video to his profile soon.

Pontiac is a totally sweetie who loves people and being pet by and always near his humans. He has also been friendly with any dogs he has met. He is doing well in his crate, on a leash and is learning to sit. And he seems housebroken as well - though he might need a small adjustment period in a new home. And we don't have to tell you this boy is incredibly handsome - because you can clearly see that for yourself!!! He has not been around kids yet but we can't imagine that he wouldn't love any calm, respectful child who knows how to be gentle with him.

We don't know this boys history - but we do know that he deserves the most wonderful future!!

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.

PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. 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.
