Meet Shirley - a 4 year old, Black Lab mix who weighs 69 lbs. Sweet Shirley was found as a stray with Laverne in Jackson, Mississippi, after both girls had clearly recently given birth to puppies. Another rescue scooped up the puppies, but left the sweet mommas behind to fend for themselves. We're so happy we found them when we did because these girls deserve a second chance and we're ready to show them that they are the stars!

Her foster shares: "Shirley is a stunning, sweet, Black Lab mix who has a soft & silky coat and the most soulful eyes. Shirley is a gentle, outgoing, and playful girl who loves everyone she meets. She is very people oriented and will follow you everywhere you go. She gets along great with every dog she meets, and enjoys playing outside, going for walks or playing with her doggie toys. She has been wonderful with children and would do great in a home with a family to call her own. Shirley has the heart of a momma and now it is her turn to find her forever home!"

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.
