Meet Kewpie - (aka Kewpie Rosie) a just over 4 year old, 15 pound, Dachshund/Chihuahua mix gal.

Kewpie was adopted here by an older woman who was unable to help her become the sweet girl she is meant to be. Kewpie had some aggression and biting issues and the woman decided to re-surrender her. She has been with us in a foster home now for just over a year and is making great improvements - but will still require a very special owner.

Changes worry her a bit - and goodness knows she has been through so much of it. She will bark at new people, but if given some space she will calm down. She is great with other dogs and kids after an initial meeting - it is actually adults she is leery of.

She is a playful little girl who loves being outside in a fenced yard to run around or to play with toys. She loves to romp and play with dogs of similar size so she would thrive in a home with other dogs. She has been crate trained and house trained. She will use a pee pad if it's raining or sometimes just because. Kewpie takes a long time to warm up and be a cuddling lap dog.

Kewpie will growl and possibly bite if disturbed while sleeping or focused with a toy or food. This will wane over time with patience and redirection.

Kewpie would benefit from an adopter who has patience and experience with difficult, scared and stubborn dogs. Training would be a great suggestion. Kewpie has tons of potential after patience and time.

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. 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.
