**Please read Banjo Bliss's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!**

Meet Banjo Bliss - a 1 yr old (as of 2/8/26), Black Lab mix, who weighed 47 pounds (as of 9/29/25). This handsome boy was found as a stray in Tennessee when he was wandering around in a local neighborhood.

His foster shares: "Banjo Bliss is very friendly and loves everyone he meets. He is a social butterfly and loves all people - especially kids! He enjoys playing fetch (even though he is still working on retrieving the ball) and he loves splashing around in the water.

He gets along with other dogs but would also be fine as the solo pup at home. He does have your typical Lab energy and will need to find an active family / home where he can get proper exercise and go on adventures!

He is great with kids, but would do better with older kids who can handle his excitement because he's still learning not to jump. He is a really fun boy who can't wait to meet his forever family!"

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.
