Meet Faith, a 4-month-old Aussie / Heeler mix, weighing 22 pounds (as of 7/1/26). This sweet girl was previously a stray in Tennessee and she's waiting for an angel to bring her home and give her all the love she deserves!

Faith is a beautiful, sweet-natured puppy who's all about making you smile. She has a gentle spirit and a soft, loving personality that makes her absolutely irresistible. With her bright eyes and precious little face, she has a way of melting hearts the moment you meet her. If dogs had yearbook superlatives, she'd no doubt be voted Ms. Congeniality. And Cutest Face. And Most Likely to Befriend Alien Life.

Faith is affectionate, cuddly, and loves being close to her people. She has that special kind of charm that makes you feel instantly connected to her, like she's already part of your family. She engages in play with other dogs, loves kids and while she hasn't been tested with cats yet, she hopes they'll love her too! She does well in a crate and is starting her leash-walking journey. She hopes you'll have patience with potty training as she adjusts to your home (though she has been doing well with a strict schedule at the shelter).

Playful, loving, and full of sweetness, Faith is sure to grow into an incredible companion. Whoever adopts Faith won't just be bringing home a puppy, they'll be gaining a devoted best friend who will fill their days with love, joy and puppy cuteness!

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.
