In the heart of Massachusetts, a gentle, resilient soul named Honey Peaches is awaiting her next chapter—a forever home where she can finally be pampered after a life of uncertainty and devotion. Honey Peaches, an American bulldog mix with a heart as warm as her name, is the newest adoption spotlight at Great Dog Rescue New England (GDRNE), a nonprofit, foster-based rescue group dedicated to saving dogs across the East Coast.
Just over two years old and tipping the scales at 52 pounds, Honey Peaches embodies the loving, loyal spirit that makes rescue dogs such treasured companions. Her journey into GDRNE’s care began in the South under unknown but likely difficult circumstances. What is clear, however, is the transformation she has undergone since then.
After arriving in the care of GDRNE’s southern foster partners, Honey Peaches gave birth to a healthy and thriving litter of puppies. The safe environment and care she received allowed her to be the devoted mother every pup deserves. Once her maternal duties were complete, she began her own path to healing—starting with a critical medical milestone: treatment for heartworm, which she successfully completed this past March.
Now heartworm-free and brimming with energy, Honey Peaches has made her way north to New England, where she’s captivating her foster family—and everyone she meets—with her affectionate and bubbly personality.
“She absolutely loves to cuddle, but she also absolutely loves to play,” says her foster mom, describing Honey Peaches as having a medium energy level. “She runs around the yard with our dogs too, and wants ALL the toys.” Among her favorites is a toy shark gifted by her Southern foster mom, which she carries around like a prized possession. From tug-of-war to zoomies in the backyard, Honey Peaches finds joy in every moment.
It’s not just her playful side that makes her special. Her calm and friendly demeanor shines in nearly every setting. She’s shown a remarkable ability to adapt to new environments and gets along splendidly with other dogs, children, and even cats. This sweet pup isn’t just tolerant—she thrives in a family setting.
Her social nature extends beyond the home, too. “She has also been great when we hosted events, and she was a star on the WBZ Pet Parade,” her foster family shares. With her peach-colored coat and expressive eyes, it’s easy to see why Honey Peaches stole the spotlight. She’s fully house-trained and walks nicely on a leash—traits that make her an ideal addition to any loving household.
With all of her milestones behind her—motherhood, heartworm recovery, and her adjustment to a foster home—Honey Peaches is finally ready for a forever family who will shower her with the same love and care she’s so readily given to others.
The Mission Behind the Rescue
Honey Peaches is just one of hundreds of dogs given a second chance by Great Dog Rescue New England each year. Founded as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, GDRNE is a shelterless, all-breed dog rescue that operates through a network of dedicated volunteers throughout New England.
Without a physical facility, the organization relies entirely on foster families who open their homes and hearts to dogs in need, ensuring that each one receives personalized care before adoption. Their reach spans from the Southern United States—where overpopulation in shelters remains a critical issue—to the Northeast, where adopters are eager to provide permanent homes.
Beyond rescue and adoption, GDRNE supports spay and neuter clinics in the South, engages in local outreach, and even partners with agencies that train rescue dogs for work with people who are physically disabled or hearing-impaired.
This life-saving work is powered solely by donations and volunteerism. Every transport, medical procedure, and adoption is a testament to the compassion and commitment of the GDRNE community.
How to Adopt Honey Peaches—or Any Rescue Dog from GDRNE
If Honey Peaches has already captured your heart, the adoption process begins with a simple step: completing an application on the GDRNE website. Applicants must be at least 24 years old and reside in New England, New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania.
