Meet Petey Petal - an almost 1 year old, Heeler / Hound mix, who weighs 45 pounds (as of 8/20/25). This sweet boy came from a hoarding case in Tennessee but despite his sad and neglectful beginnings, Petey Petal is all love!

His foster shares: "Petey is an adorable loving pup who is an absolute joy to have around! He loves children and enjoys being around dogs. Some of his favorite things include playing outside and going for walks with people. He also enjoys playing with toys and chasing tennis balls. He is starting to learn all his manners and we are working on leash training and he is catching on quickly. Petey greets everyone with a wagging tail and kisses. If you are looking for a best friend who is ready to join you for life's greatest adventures... Petey Petal is the boy for you!"

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.
