Meet Topaz Gem, a 10-week-old Boxer/Hound mix, weighing 16 pounds (as of 2/11/26). Topaz and his siblings are known as the GEM litter! While they were strays that were surrendered in Tennessee, they know that "treasure is what they are" (like the Bruno Mars song!) The GEM litter can't wait to add some glitter and sparkle to your life 'cause let's be real, you need it!

Topaz is a handsome guy who is playful, curious, and always ready to check out something new. If you're on the beach, be prepared for him to sniff around for some buried treasure! This boy knows a thing or too about gems. While he enjoys his fun and games, he can also be a serious pup. In fact, his favorite past time is lounging on armchairs with his bubble pipe contemplating the meaning of life. If you've got philosophies to add, he's more than happy to discuss them with you. Just be sure to give some treats and snuggles too! Topaz also gets along with dogs and loves kids! He hasn't had experience with cats yet, but he's sure they'll appreciate his curious nature (at least he hopes). This boy is the best balance of silly puppy energy and laid-back Hound calm. He can't wait to show his future family the finer things in life!

Since the GEM pups are still babies, all they ask from their future family is patience and love as they master the ABCs of puppy training (leash walking, crates, potty and commands!) But you can bet when they do, they'll shine even brighter than before, making your home the sparkliest one on the block!

Bring Topaz home and get ready to go on adventures!

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.
