Meet Asher Renata, a 3-month-old Lab / Collie mix, weighing approx. 15-20 pounds (as of 5/11/26). The RENATA litter gets their last name from their mom who was an abandoned stray in Mississippi. But despite their rough start, these Renatas will continue to sing "Hakuna Matata" 'cause they know brighter days are ahead with you! In fact, Asher was so pumped, he even wrote his own bio:

Hi! I'm Asher, the puppy with a heart full of joy and paws ready to play! I love making friends and have tons of energy to run and explore. You want to go on a walk? Or ride a hot air balloon? Or explore a hidden cave in the middle of a creepy forest? Then let's go! My days are filled with fun and games, but what I love most is cuddling up after a long day of adventures. I can make you laugh with my funny antics, and I promise to be your loyal companion. If you're looking for a playful, friendly, and loving friend, I'm your pup! Let's make endless memories together!

The Renata litter love to play with other dogs and adore children. They've even had experience with cats! Sounds like fun play dates are in your future! They can be a little mouthy when they play, but they're working on it. Since these pups are still babies, they'll need love and patience with all things puppy training (potty, leashes, commands etc.) They've been in a crate and can't wait to learn more with the best teachers! Bring some of their puppy loving 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. 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. To learn more about our *shelterless* rescue, adoption fees, and procedures, review the list of Frequently Asked Questions on our website at WWW.GDRNE.COM.
