Welcome to the fan club! Meet Freddy Mercury, a 6-week-old Pointer / Lab / Beagle mix, weighing approx. 5-7 pounds (as of 3/15/26). Freddy and his siblings (who are also various musical geniuses) were born during an ice storm in Tennessee! Luckily, their mom was rescued just days before they were born, so they were delivered in a warm and loving home. Now that these icons are a little more grown, they're looking forward to singing karaoke every night with their future family!

If "We Are the Champions" is your favorite song, then Freddy is the pup for you! This dazzling boy loves to belt the highest notes for every Queen number. Don't be surprised if he overshadows your pitchy voice and wins the local talent show! Freddy's a bonafide superstar! When he's not being effortlessly cool among his adoring fans, Freddy Mercury enjoys exploring new places and getting lots of belly rubs from his handlers (you).

Freddy and his musical legend siblings will bring smiles to everyone around with their puppy playfulness. At times, they may chew on your fingers and toes or attack your shoes, but don't be alarmed. It's really their way of telling you to upgrade your wardrobe. You can't go on stage with them looking like that! Where's the sparkle? Where's the pizzazz?

Since these icons grew up with children at home, they'll do great with the younger fans in case you wanted an autograph for your niece/nephew/adult neighbor who refuses to grow up! They're awesome with other dogs as well. Since they're still puppies, they just want to play with cats, so they might need more help in that category.

When it comes to prepping for the world tour, they hope you'll have patience as they learn the basics: crates, leashing, obedience and potty. These pups are currently on pee pads, but due to being so young and not fully vaccinated, they have not been outdoors. For your tireless efforts, you'll get 1 extra VIP pass to their next concert. But use it wisely! Don't give it to that annoying friend who complains all the time. Your friend's no fun at concerts. Or anywhere.

Are you ready to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Bring Freddy Mercury 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.
