Meet Luna Ruffman, a 9-month-old Black Lab / Great Pyrenees mix, weighing 70 pounds (as of 9/25/26). This girl and her brother, Bandit, were surrendered by owners in Tennessee and they're so excited to meet you! Life won't be rough with the Ruffmans around!

We asked Luna what three words we should use to describe her and she said: "Outgoing, loving and intelligent." She's a happy, loving girl who adores everyone including kids, dogs, and cats! That's the perfect trifecta! She’s also house-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained. With her classic happy-go-lucky Lab personality, Luna loves walks, playtime, and snuggles with her favorite people and even strangers. No doubt when Christmas comes around, she'll be getting all the presents from admirers near and far.

She’s ready to bring lots of love and happiness to her forever family! Is it you?

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 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.
