Meet Petey Sweetpea, a 5-and-a-half-month-old Parsons Terrier/Lakeland Terrier mix, weighing 12 pounds (as of 4/26/26). The SWEETPEA litter may also have other medium dog breeds in them including Hound, other types of Terriers, Golden Retriever, Collie, Lab and more! It's a fun surprise every time! These pups hail from Tennessee and even though they were surrendered by owners who could no longer take care of them, they're looking forward to joining a wonderful family who will! They hope it's yours!

Sweet, shy and ever so charming, Petey is the kind of boy you'll want to show off at the dog park. He warms up quite quickly and loves attention. He is still getting used to being held but is accepting of it. Once he's fully comfortable with you, you'll be snuggling up on the couch with Petey catching up on your favorite reality show. He'll even get the popcorn ready!

The Sweetpea litter are a wonderful group of pups! They're happy, fun, and have the playful energy to keep any family busy and entertained. They don't have experience with cats yet, but maybe one day! They get along with other dogs and will enjoy charming every child they meet! They'll need patience with basic puppy training (leashes, potty, commands, etc) but they know how to use a crate. What's sweeter than a sweetpea? Nothing! Bring these lovable pups 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 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.
