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

Meet Banjo - a 10 month old, Texas Heeler mix who weighs 42 pounds (as of 8/5/25). Banjo was found as a stray in front of the Columbia Fire Department in Mississippi. When we found him he was injured but we're happy to report that he's now happy, healthy and looking for his forever family!

Banjo's favorite things are people and WATER! He loves to swim and enjoys playing with other dogs. He'd be fine with a resident doggy BFF, but just know that he prefers to dine alone. He gets a little too excited when he sees chickens (must be the Heeler in him) so we'd recommend a home without small animals (including cats). You can see from his pictures that this boy enjoys car rides and will gladly be your co-pilot any day.

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.
