Ooh la la! Meet Heart-Throb, an approx. 8-month-old (10/15) Hound mix, weighing 38 pounds (as of 9/10/26). Can you believe this handsome boy was found as a stray?! Talk about a broken heart! But he's ready to give you all the loving and more!

As you may guess by his name, Heart-Throb is a lover! But in case you had any doubts, he also has a near perfect heart patch on his right side. That's not a coincidence, people! Heart-Throb has the sweetest personality and is super friendly to everyone. He's not overbearing and his mannerisms bode to being a very kind and gentle natured boy. We know he doesn’t look like a
Golden Retriever but he acts a lot like one, lots of green flags! Who needs a romantic partner when you've got this guy around?

He keeps his kennel clean and when its time for him to go out, he waits calmly at the door to be opened. He has gotten along with all the other dogs he met at the boarding facility and does great on a leash and crate. He hasn't met kids or cats yet, but mark our words, they'll be swooning too!

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.
