Meet Dusty - a 3 year old, Shepherd / Terrier mix, who weighs 50 pounds (as of 4/26/25. He was found in a local shelter and we decided to pull him to give this guy a boost. His face is too cute - and just look at his adorable ears!

His foster shares: "Dusty is full of life! He loves to run and play outside. He is super smart and lovable, and he is completely potty trained and knows when he needs to go outside. Recently he learned how to 'sit' for a treat and is very willing to learn more tricks. He would love to have a big fenced in yard to play around in. We also believe he would do well with some older kids who he could play with. As a pup he was starved so he does not like sharing food with others. He's gotten better now that he knows he's going to get fed. - He does just fine being around other pups and loves playing with them. All he wants to do is play. Dusty has not one time growled or laid his ears back. Dusty continually wags his tail. The other dogs we have had him with were all older and just really didn't want to play. If you give him a tennis ball, he will play by himself for hours. He loves to run too. He is a very good boy who just needs a lot of love. Dusty just wants a forever home with a family that will love on him and let him run and play! He’s a really good boy who is ready to find his happily ever after."


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.

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.
