Meet Barney Bedazzle, a 4 and 1/2-month-old (6/25) Irish Terrier / Yellow Lab mix, weighing 14 pounds (as of 6/25/26). The BEDAZZLE litter were surrendered in Tennessee after their owners couldn't care for them properly. Mom (pictured) was only 23lbs, so we don't see them being very big. This litter may also have Border Terrier, Airedale Terrier, Bull Terrier, and a bunch of other amazing breeds, making them the true gems of the dog world! Get ready to roll out the rhinestones!

UPDATE: Barney is such a sweet loving boy! He has warmed up quickly to his new environment and is starting to come out of his shell! He loves being outside, staying close to his people, and cuddling up! He is thriving with children (age 7 and twins age 3) and other dogs! However, the verdict on cats is still out. Barney sleeps throughout the night in his crate and is pretty good at letting someone know when he needs to go outside! Barney is currently working on sit, come, and stay! He seems to be a very quick learner :)


Barney is the king of bling! Sparkly to the core, he's a happy boy that loves to play and gets along with people. It helps that he carries his crafting kit around! Barney's still getting used to being picked up and held, but he doesn't fight to leave. He hasn't had any issues with new places so the world is your jewelry box that he can't wait to explore! He knows how to use a dog door but is still learning to go outside. Barney also does okay in a crate but can be a bit vocal at first.

Life with the Bedazzle pups include:
- A friendly dog that'll charm children, strangers and other dogs
- Some leash and crate experience. They'll need your help mastering!
- Potty training. With your patience, they'll become the best family members!
- A possible cat introduction? We're not sure if they've met feline friends!
- Your own custom-made wardrobe full of glitter and sequins!

Go from dull to dazzling when you bring a Bedazzle pup home today!

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.
