BIG BABY DENNIS NEEDS A HOME. CAN YOU HELP?
This handsome large cross breed (possibly Doberman) came into our care as an emergency. He is a typical stunning young man that loves life. Goofballs need love too.
Dennis is now one year old and has been overlooked since her arrived. He is friendly and has made amazing progress in our care. Kennels are no place for young dogs and despite our passion and efforts to find this large pup a new start Dennis remains in kennels. Big Baby Dennis has lots to offer and has made excellent progress socialising with dogs at kennels. He loves attention and is so happy to play with young dogs that can match his energy levels. This boy is loving and desperate for a life of love and adventure out of kennels. Dennis was a huge friend of Frank who has now found pastures new. We hope Dennis can find his special people.
Dennis needs a home that love walking. Outdoorsy people would be perfect and someone that is active. A dedicated adopter that love large breeds and are prepared to commit and continue with his guidance and training. Dennis is loving and friendly and yet again another overlooked Goofball of a large breed. Please consider the bigger dogs. "BIG DOGS NEED LOVE TOO"
CRISIS FOR STRAY DOGS IN YORKSHIRE. The volume of mistreated and abandoned dogs is overwhelming. Can you help?
2025 has been a difficult year for smaller charities like ours. We are dedicated to helping stray dogs left waiting at local stray kennels. We remain passionate and very hands on with our dogs. We are not a cute and fluffy charity and work tirelessly to help the forgotten strays in Yorkshire.
The volume of large breed dogs this year has been impossible to manage. Cruelty and severe mistreatment has been soul destroying. Rehoming has been slower and adoptions fewer due to our intake of the larger cross breeds. Our heart and passion remains for the stray dogs who struggle to find a life worth living. Many of these dogs have been neglected. Veterinary care is costly however a poorly dog in most cases will get better. Sadly the cruelty inflicted on many strays and the endured abuse mentally is not so easily fixable. A broken soul and dampened spirit will take time to heal. Patience, time and extra love will go a long way. So many stray dogs have been failed by humans.
Our charity is appealing for support through adoption and foster with rescue minded caring humans. Please offer help this Winter so we can offer desperate support to the Yorkshire strays in need of a happy, contented life.

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.
