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.

A full house is only complete with a SPADE puppy!

Meet Sam Spade - a 10 week old, Black Lab / Cattle Dog mix, who weighs around 8 pounds (as of 7/25/25). Sam and his siblings were found as strays in Mississippi. Unfortunately their momma was hit by a car and died when the puppies were only a few days old. Luckily they were rescued by a kind person who saw it all happen and they immediately rushed them to rescue. They were bottle fed for weeks and cared for around the clock to make sure we gave them a fighting chance. They have grown into beautiful healthy pups that are ready to find their forever homes!

Sam Spade has the cutest speckles! He's the adventurer of the group. He is super smart and learns quickly. When you talk to him, it's almost as if he understands exactly what you're saying. He is everyone's best friend and loves to play with his siblings. He's a happy go lucky guy who loves to play with kids and will need a family that is committed to his training. He's got lots of love to give and he can't wait to meet his forever family.

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.
