**Please read Madeline's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!**

Meet Madeline, a 4-year-old Hound mix who weighs 50 pounds (as of 2/26/26). This sweet girl lived in Tennessee and had an eye injury when she was pulled from a pound. Because of the injury, her eye was removed due to trauma to her eyeball. Madeline may only have one eye, but she can see the bright future ahead for her and can't wait to find her fur-ever home!

Madeline will easily be the most popular dog in your neighborhood! With her confident, happy-go-lucky nature, she makes friends everywhere she goes with humans and dogs of all ages/sizes which means you'll finally have friends to hang out with too! While she might not play as much, she'll be happy to just chill in their presence and watch all the action.

Her missing eye especially stands out because it looks like she's winking you, so get ready for a lot of curiosity and attention from strangers. Madeline loves it though. It's part of what makes her unique! It's even a super power 'cause she can see the ghosts in your home! But don't worry, she'll defend you the best she can.

After playtime or a nice walk, she’s happy to relax and enjoy quality time with her people. Madeline is house trained, crate trained, and leash trained, making her the perfect companion to show off to your new friends on social media!

With her loving personality and easygoing nature, Madeline would make a wonderful addition to just about any family. Make this girl's day and bring her 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.

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 hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.
