Calling all overachievers! Meet Oliver Outstanding, an approx. 4-month-old (8/26) Hound mix, weighing 11 pounds (as of 7/23/26). This boy and his siblings from the OUTSTANDING litter were found in the Tennessee woods full of fleas and ticks. They've since gotten treated and are preparing to get straight A's when it comes to being a part of your family!

Oliver is a happy little boy who is becoming more brave with people. He has gone from hiding under a cot to coming up and allowing himself to be picked up, which is a big deal! Sure, he probably just wants you to carry him everywhere, but is that so bad? He is a barker at a gate, and a howler at a siren, so you'll have an adorable home security system! No teens are TPing your home on Halloween this year! Puppy playful and super sweet, Oliver needs a little time to get used to a new place and people. He will, however, take treats as bribes.

The Outstanding pups love the kiddos but we're not sure if they've met cats yet. They're good in a crate, but will still need your help with leashes and potty training at home. These pups hope to take your day from ordinary to outstanding! Bring them home now!

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 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.
