Shep Hound Woburn, MA

This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs. The long distance adoption process includes talking to the foster they are living with in the south. Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally.

**Please read Shep's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!**

Meet Shep - a 3 1/2 year old, Hound mix, who weighs 60 pounds (as of 11/27/24). The sweet boy came to us through a very sad owner surrender. The family was not ready for the responsibility and patience that comes with loving a dog and they gave up on Shep. We know that he is going to make his new family incredibly happy! But this poor boy has been waiting MONTHS to find his forever family. We would love to know he will be with a family to celebrate the holidays.

His foster shares: "Shep is the best! He is sweet, attentive, loving, smart, and well behaved... we could go on and on about how great he is. He came from a sad situation previously, but he has made himself quite comfortable since coming into our care! When he was surrendered, he was a bit overweight but he is trimming up and looks great!! He is your typical handsome hound! He is very curious about cats (so might be best in a cat-free home), and does great with dogs of all ages and sizes! Did we mention he LOVES kids?! He is also a great co-pilot on car rides and walks well on a leash. Shep is the perfect package and can't wait to find a loving family to call his own!"

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.
