The MARS litter is out of this world! Meet Miranda Mars, a 10-and-a-half-week-old Collie / Jack Russel Terrier mix, weighing 7.5 pounds (as of 8/17/26). These adorable Martians were surrendered in Tennessee and are hoping they'll find the perfect home on Planet Earth. They come in peace!

Miranda is the pup you'll want on every space expedition. She considers herself a strong leader whose friendliness and fun attitude will win over both Earthlings and extraterrestrial life forms. Did we mention she also speaks 12 different alien languages? The Force is strong with this one!

The Mars litter hope the Earthlings won't mind that they take over your space! They've lived with each other and eight adult dogs, but haven't met kids or felines yet. To adjust to this new planet, they'll need love and help mastering potty training, leashing, commands and crates (though they are crated sometimes.) In return, they'll let you ride in their spaceship! This is truly the highest honor and the closest you'll ever get to Mars!

Once they are old enough and ready for adoption, they will be spayed/neutered.

Are you ready? 3...2...1... BLAST OFF!

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.

The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.

The Jack Russell Terrier is a lively and intelligent small breed known for its boundless energy and strong hunting instincts. With a distinctive white coat and often sporting tan or black markings, these dogs are full of personality and require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Jack Russell Terriers are fiercely loyal and make excellent companions for active owners willing to provide the mental and physical challenges this energetic breed needs to stay happy and healthy.
