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

Meet Brutus - a 5 year old, Redbone Coonhound, who weighs about 55 pounds (as of 11/16/25). This handsome hound was found as a stray in Mississippi and was brought into a local vet after being hit by a car. No family was ever identified, so it's ready to find this boy a new home!

His foster shares: "Brutus loves everyone he meets! He is a sweet and friendly dog, and a staff favorite at the vet clinic where he is being boarded. He came into the vet’s office after being struck by a car. The clinic was unable to locate his family so they fixed him up and are looking for a family for this sweet boy (please note: he's looking for a cat free home!). Brutus lost one of his hind legs from the accident, but he has adapted well to three legs. You'd have no idea he is a tripod... Brutus has overcome everything in stride and is ready for the next chapter in his life and new adventures!"

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.
