Meet Jolene Guitar, a 9-week-old Shepherd / Lab mix, weighing 12.3 pounds (as of 10/24/26). The GUITAR pups were born to stray Dolly Momma Guitar (pictured) in Tennessee but naturally, they plan to write a country song about their story. Maybe you'll be the muse for their next hit!

Unlike her namesake, Jolene is a sweetheart who won't be stealing your man (though she WILL try!) She's a spirited gal who looks oh-so-adorable as she explores the world around her.

The Guitar pups have adoring fans everywhere they go! Other dogs, strangers, and children love them. They haven't met cats yet, but they're more than welcome to join their fan club, "The Guitar Groupies!" But they'll have to master puppy training before they're ready for the world tour (though they have some experience with crates). Will you help them out? They'll make the deal even sweeter and give you 5% of the tour profits. Or was it 2%?

Get ready to sing your heart out with the most talented pups around!

When the pups are old enough / ready for adoption, they will be spayed/neutered.

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.
