This girl's no cowardly lion! In fact, she's no lion at all! Meet Ella Lionheart, a 3-month-old American Bulldog mix, weighing 20 pounds (as of 7/7/26). Ella and the rest of her LIONHEART litter were surrendered by owners in Tennessee, but they're courageously finding their way to your home... and hearts!

Ella is a happy, cuddly puppy who believes every day should include fun, cuddles, and a few zoomies! Don't you agree?? She loves people, enjoys making new friends with kids and other dogs, and has the sweetest little face that's impossible to resist. If she had a superpower, cuteness would be it. Hands down!

Ella is at the perfect age to learn all about the world and will thrive with a family willing to invest time in training, socialization, and lots of love.

The Lionhearts haven't met cats yet, but they're more than open to making new friends. Since they're still puppies, they'll need your help with all things puppy training (though they have used crates for travel). Just like the Katy Perry song, you're gonna hear them r-r-roar! Adopt the Lionhearts today!

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. 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.
