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.

**Please read Matilda's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!**

Meet Matilda - a 4 month old, Australian Shepherd / Hound mix, who weighs 18 pounds (as of 7/10/25). This sweet girl was found by animal control in Tennessee.

Her foster shares: "Matilda is the sweetest! This love bug loves to cuddle and give kisses. She has to have her toys in bed with her (you can see that in her picture!). She is crate trained for sleeping and when we leave the house. She loves to snuggle up and snooze right up next to her people. She is so sweet and well socialized, is great with children and makes friends with all of the other pups at the dog park. She is almost fully potty trained. She has learned she can conquer the stairs recently and we are so proud of her!! She loves walking and does well on a leash. She loves to be loved and likes to be the center of attention."

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.
