Meet Omar - a 1-2 year old, 80 pound, Hound mix fellow.

Is your heart melting already looking at those soulful eyes? And that coat - he has some gorgeous brindle mixed in to some of the black patches. Well just wait until you hear his story!

Omar is recovering from a rough past after being abandoned by her previous family with several other dogs in a dangerous situation in a trailer in Tennessee.

Omar is a gentle giant who loves people and just wants to please. He loves to get cuddles, butt scratches, and lots of kisses! Omar is not an extremely active dog, but he does like to go on walks and play. He would enjoy a home with a moderate activity level, and a yard to play. He does really enjoy the outdoors.

He does well with all the dogs and cats here. It took him a little bit to settle in with the cats but now he is great with them. He can sometimes chase birds and squirrels but seems well with all domestic pets that we have seen. He came into rescue so nervous and didn't want to be pet for a few weeks - so it is so wonderful to see how far he has come now. And now that he feels safe he loves meeting new people and doesn't consider anyone a stranger. He has met a few children here and done well with them too. He knows a few commands such as sit, lay down, and shake hands.

He is a handsome boy just looking for the right family to love - and to show him he will never be abandoned again. His foster keeps sending us new pictures and they are all just so good we have to start making collages ;). This boy just can't take a bad picture!

Omar is finishing his medication for Ehrlichia but will complete that before traveling north.

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. 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.
