Meet Janet - a just over 4 1/2 year old, Texas Heeler / Beagle mix, who weighs 36 pounds (As of 2/5/25). This poor girl had been roaming the streets for the last few years, and seemingly has experience some abuse in her past. We have shown her nothing but love and TLC here, and she has been waiting for four months to find her family and getting more ready ever single day here. She is learning what kindness is and flourishing in training! We know with a patient family who can make her feel safe she is going to be a wonderful family companion!

Her foster shares: "Janet is a very gentle dog, and while she may be quiet, she does enjoy the company of others. We think she was abused in the past because she cowers when you initial approach her for a pet or putting on her collar / leash. One she realize you're coming in for a pet, she's a very happy girl! She is growing more confident each day, but will need a patient family. She does enjoy the company of other pups in foster care, and likes to be around the action. We really think she will flourish with another dog in the home. As you can see she loves to snuggle with her canine buddy. A fenced yard would be a plus for her to give her a little freedom but still feel secure that she is safe in her own surroundings. These two situations would be the best for her and help make her the best dog for you! She is such a sweet girl who deserves a second chance and she can't wait to meet her 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.
