Tucker

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 Tucker's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!** Meet Tucker - a 2 year old, 56 pound, Australian Shepherd mix guy who was found as a stray in Tennessee. His foster shares "Tucker is great companion for a calm, loving home. He is very mature and relaxed. He is a shadow and will be there with you in every room. This boy never gets into trouble, he just wants to be with you. He enjoys cuddling and laying on the couch, and it is just so heart warming when he puts his head in your lap. I don’t think he would enjoy being around a lot of loud people that much, until he got used to it. He just wants to live a nice quiet life (who wouldn't) with lots of love and time outside. He would be a great walking/hiking buddy. And obviously he’s a beautiful boy. We adore his quiet, easygoing personality. All the doggie ladies love him, but he is a little bossy with other boys if they try and dominate him. So he spends all his time with the girls and gentle respectful males. He seems to really understand going to the bathroom outside - though he has had one or two accidents. But we think he just needs a little adjustment time. He will make a great companion for any 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. To adopt or learn more about Tucker you must fill out an adoption application.

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.
