Heart-Throb's Story

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.<br/><br/>TO APPLY:<br/>1) copy/paste this link https://gdrne.com/adopt/adoption-application/ <br/>2) OR at the bottom of the page click on "Adoption Policy" and then it will bring up the adoption application.<br/><br/>Ooh la la! Meet Heart-Throb, an approx. 7-month-old (as of August 2026) Hound mix, weighing 38 pounds (as of 9/10/26). Can you believe this handsome boy was found as a stray?! Talk about a broken heart! But he's ready to give you all the loving and more!<br/><br/>As you may guess by his name, Heart-Throb is a lover! But in case you had any doubts, he also has a near perfect heart patch on his right side. That's not a coincidence, people! Heart-Throb has the sweetest personality and is super friendly to everyone. He's not overbearing and his mannerisms bode to being a very kind and gentle natured boy. We know he doesn’t look like a<br/>Golden Retriever but he acts a lot like one, lots of green flags! Who needs a romantic partner when you've got this guy around?<br/><br/>He keeps his kennel clean and when its time for him to go out, he waits calmly at the door to be opened. He has gotten along with all the other dogs he met at the boarding facility and does great on a leash and crate. He hasn't met kids or cats yet, but mark our words, they'll be swooning too!<br/><br/>Ready for the ultimate lover boy? Adopt Heart-Throb today!<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>To adopt or learn more about Heart-Throb, you must fill out an adoption application. To find the application, copy and paste this URL into your browser: WWW.GDRNE.COM/ADOPTION-APPLICATION [Adoption Fee: $495] **<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. To learn more about our *shelterless* rescue, adoption fees, and procedures, review the list of Frequently Asked Questions on our website at WWW.GDRNE.COM.
