This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs. The long distance adoption process includes talking to the foster they are living with in the south. Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally.
**Please read Ilia Olympians' entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!**
The Winter Olympics may be almost over, but these Olympians will have your heart fur-ever! Meet Ilia Olympians, a 6-week-old German Shepherd/Yellow Lab mix, weighing approx. 5-10 pounds (as of 2/16/26). This top athlete is part of the OLYMPIANS from Tennessee that were brought to us after their shelter unfortunately close down. The Olympians' litter's parentage is unknown (these pups grew up in a commune) so they are likely a mix of many different wonderful breeds! It's like your own little mystery box! Their most important quality, however, is the love they'll give to their future coach i.e. YOU!
Ilia is not only a professional skater, but also a pup with a heart as big as his Olympic gold medal! This fun-loving boy will charm anyone he meets including dogs and your rowdy kiddos (which is saying a lot). He hasn't met cats yet so the jury is still out, but everyone else has given him a 10 out of 10! When he's not giving you lots of love and kisses, he's playing with his toys or outside and enjoying what life has to offer! Nothing can bring this boy down! He hopes to find a family that loves puppies as much he loves people.
Since the Olympians are still babies, they ask their future coach i.e. families to help them with puppy training (potty, crates, leashes, etc). Once they're spayed/neutered, they'll be ready to go! With your love and patience, they know they'll become MVP of your household!
Get ready to win gold with the Olympians! Bring Ilia home today!
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.
