Meet Apple Armstrong, an almost 5-month-old (on 8/30) (born 4/6/26), Great Pyrenees / Hound mix, weighing approx. 35 pounds (as of 8/30/26). The ARMSTRONG litter were surrendered because their owners in Tennessee could no longer care for them. These astronauts in training are excited to find their fur-ever homes on planet Earth, New England to be precise! It's one small step for dogs, one giant leap for dogkind!

UPDATE: The Apple of your eye! Apple is the sweetest pup. She has completely come out of her shell, and has so much personality. Loves to run and play outside, especially with our resident rescue dogs. She is incredibly gentle with our one year old son, and follows him everywhere he goes. It’s adorable!

Apple would do best in a home where she has plenty of exercise along with proper training. She is very smart and learning commands, and has done very well with potty training.

Any family would be so lucky to bring this pretty girl home!

*******************************************************

She has no issues with other puppies and is more Pyrenees in terms of her personality. She is calmer than her siblings but still plays when she feels like it. This darling also likes to hide; she's not a fan of the spotlight and we totally get that. She is just a sweetie needing a human home to bring her out of her shell.

The Armstrongs haven't met cats yet, but they've met strangers, kids, dogs and even alien life forms! They come in peace! But before they can travel the universe in their spaceship, they'll need extra help with all things puppy training (potty, leashes, crates, etc.) With the right family by their side, they'll be saying, "To infinity and beyond!"

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.

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.
