DID YOU KNOW?
Last year we helped over 250 stray dogs
DARLA IS NOW ADOPTED. Darla is a loving large breed Staffy cross. She has captured our hearts yet is constantly overlooked.
Darla came to us from the stray kennels with a broken leg and a dampened spirit.
Darla came into our care from the stray kennels in June 2024. She had a badly broken back leg and was a sad young girl of approximately ten months. After two lots of surgery and a recovery in a foster home Darla has found herself as a homeless youngster for over six months. This young dog had no life experience however has turned many corners in our care and in kennels. She walks well on a lead and has responded so well to guidance and training. This very loving girl deserves to find a new start and is so affectionate. We adore her but simply can't find her a home. CAN YOU HELP?
There are now so many large breed strays in Yorkshire. Darla is one of many. We will not give up our search to find her the love and continued guidance she deserves and we ask people to please consider these abandoned ladies and gents.
Darla deserves her time to shine and the centre stage in a very special home. Her journey has been a very long one so far. Our girl remains homeless this Christmas but never loveless.
REX - Adorable ten month old German Shepherd
ON A HOME TRIAL
This sweet and loving German Shepherd is Rex. He was sadly due to be put to sleep at a local vets due to having hip dysplasia. Rex came into our care after we paid for x-rays on his legs. He is now doing amazing and under the vets recommendation Rex has been exercised in order to build muscle around his joints. Rex is loving, friendly and one amazing pup. He has made amazing progress and you would never know of his mild disability.
Our charity's plan moving forward is to support Rex with mild pain relief and keep him exercised. He has no problems with walking and enjoys life so much on an adventure. We are now searching for a forever home for Rex. Long term plans would be to offer veterinary support in the future if this was necessary. We are working hard to find this amazing youngster a new start however many people are put off due to his diagnosis. Rex is adorable.
Rex is loving, friendly and an absolute joy to be with. He will make someone a fabulous dog and has a full life ahead of him now. We aim to make it a very special one.
Dedicated to helping stray and abandoned dogs
Good Life Dog Rescue is a registered charity in Yorkshire. We are dedicated to helping stray and abandoned dogs left waiting at local stray council kennels. We work tirelessly with limited funds to help dogs in need at local stray kennels. We are very hands on and dedicated in helping the dogs that have no voice and visit the stray kennels every week. Some of our rescue dogs have suffered neglect, abuse and have endured a difficult start in life at the hands of a human. We have many that need urgent medical care.
Our vet and kennelling bills are huge every month and every effort is made to raise funds to support the dogs in our care. We do not own our own rescue kennels and are currently boarding our dogs at two different kennels in Yorkshire. We are no longer boarding our rescue dogs at kennels in Worksop. We do not pay staff so every penny goes back into supporting the dogs in need. We are a registered charity and the founder of Good Life lives in Leeds. This is our charity corresponding address. Every penny raised goes towards the care of the dogs. We pay no wages and exist with few volunteers so time is very precious and our workload is immense. Our dedication and passion is what keeps us going.
Our aim is to provide essential help for the dogs and through assessments maintain an accurate match of our dog with any potential adopter. All our dogs receive veterinary care, health checks, full vaccinations and neutering as part of our adoption procedure. Essential care and a dedication to the welfare of each dog is met until a perfect human and hound match is found. Home checks and vet references from owners previous pets veterinary practices are needed if possible prior adoption.
As a small rescue support is vitally important to us. With limited help we rely on donations and fundraising events. Any help is appreciated by donators. Please contact us for more details about the work we do and how you can help us. We are always grateful for support however small.
Adoption Process
We work extremely hard to ensure that adopters are matched well with the rescue dogs in our care. Many factors have to be considered for each individual dogs needs. Lifestyle, working hours and whether you have a family are all crucial in matching our homeless hounds with humans. Our aim is to match every dog with the right human and the perfect home environment.
Please visit our "How to Adopt" on our News page. More information and details about how to adopt a rescue dog are available to read prior to filling in an application. Due to a huge increase in people wanting to adopt dogs your patience is very much appreciated.
