Jump up and shout hooray with Lia Lively! All the way from Puerto Rico, this approx. 5-6 month-old sweetheart was born in the streets and rescued with her mom and sister, Leah, when they were only two days old. Lia currently weighs 22 pounds (as of 10/28/26) and wants to make everyday feel like a party!

What can we say about Lia other than she's a playful, fun, and loving pup who'll make you (and everyone around you) smile! Like a true people's princess, Lia happily greets everyone she meets from kiddos to seniors. She's even lived with a cat at her foster's and they're basically two peas in a pod. When Lia isn't dancing like nobody's watching, she enjoys playing, receiving love, cuddle time and belly rubs.

The Lively girls are gorgeous, adorable and have an amazing personality. They're also eager to receive the love they never received. The Lively girls will be great for a home with a family that has time to walk them and time to train them
(which will be very easy because they are super smart, very
obedient and already go to the bathroom outside.) They haven't learned about leashes yet, but have some experience with crates since they're allowed to dance around the house.

Dance the night away with Lia Lively today!

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.

The Border Terrier is a small, fearless, and affectionate breed known for their devotion to their families. With a wiry, weather resistant coat and an otter like head, they were originally bred for hunting foxes and vermin along the Scottish border. These energetic and intelligent dogs excel in various canine activities, including agility and obedience. Their friendly and playful demeanor makes them wonderful companions for active families, especially those who enjoy outdoor adventures with their loyal four legged friends.
