DID YOU KNOW?
Last year we helped over 250 stray dogs

ROCCO SPECIAL APPEAL. This gorgeous Boxer cross Cane Corso is a true gent. Rocco came to us as a stray and has cherry eye. His eye surgery is 2nd April. He has so much love to give and despite our appeals we are struggling to find him a new start. Can you help?
Rocco is approximately eighteen months old. He came to us as a stray dog and although a larger boy he also owns the biggest of hearts. Rocco walks like a gentleman however his unsightly eyes have made him less desirable. He has a beautiful nature and adores attention and love. Our appeals for Rocco have come to nothing and sadly he will now have to recover from eye surgery in kennels.
Rocco's operation is supported by our rescue. A preferred home is one without too many pressures of pets and children. Rocco will be the perfect house guest and is one loving and amazing soul. Rooco remains beautiful to us inside and out. Please support our appeal to find this boy the love and life he deserves.

SPECIAL APPEAL FOR PATSY
This young girl is one adorable Staffy cross breed who has turned many corners
This sweet and loving Staffy cross came into our charity care from the stray kennels. Patsy was underweight with a very poor balding coat. On arrival Patsy was also worried by men and would hide and shy away. This young dog has clearly had a difficult past and some sort of trauma. After weeks of walking with men in group walks our stunning girl has made excellent progress and turned many corners.
Patsy is amazing with other dogs and has now waved goodbye to her best pal Pearl who was recently adopted. Pats is a joy to walk and she loves and needs an outdoorsy home that love to explore. We feel with regular meet and greets and a dedicated adopter Patsy would learn to trust completely again. Our special lady has shown no issues at all but is just timid at times. We love her and hope someone can find a space in their heart and home. Patsy is now one of our longer stayers. Please consider her. Calls are always welcome to discuss.
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.
This lady is beautiful needs a home. She has so much love to give. See her profile page.
