Little John Joyful'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/>Happy days are here again! Meet Little John Joyful, a 10-week-old Min Pin / Jack Russel Terrier mix, weighing 7 pounds (as of 9/16/26). This itty-bitty sweetheart and his brother, Big John, were part of a litter that was surrendered in Tennessee. Can you see how excited he is to meet you?!<br/><br/>Little John's got a gentle and shy personality, but don't be fooled! He can be a little bashful at first, but his foster family has been giving him plenty of attention and affection, and it’s already making a big difference. Each day he’s becoming more confident and showing more of his cute personality.<br/><br/>With parents that were only about 15 pounds, Little John is expected to remain a small, apartment-friendly size. He would be a great match for someone who wants a smaller dog and enjoys watching a shy little pup learn that people can be pretty wonderful, especially when they're giving treats! He's lived in a house with other dogs and we think he'd do well with kids. He hasn't met cats yet, so an introduction is in his future. <br/><br/>Since he's still a baby he'll need extra TLC (tender loving care) for potty training, commands and leashes (though he has used crates for travel).<br/><br/>Give him a little time and love, and Little John will be ready to become somebody’s favorite little shadow.<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 Little John Joyful, 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: $575] **<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.
