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

PATSY NEEDS A HOME. Patsy as always came to us from the stray kennels. She is a sweetheart that has suffered trauma and abuse. She is worried by men however has made amazing progress in our care as you can see.
She has so much love to give and is a real joy to be with once she knows and trusts you.

Patsy is a Staffy cross of approximate three years. This lady adores a cuddle and a fuss from ladies however has to learn that not all men mean her harm. She desperately want to trust. We now walk Patsy in twos and swop leads outside so she is being walked by men in the presence of the lady she knows. She is fun-loving, comical and in is heaven doing zoomies.

Patys has a big heart and never shows aggressive behaviour. Her fear of men means she would rather run away than be approached. A couple in a female home would be ideal or someone dedicated to winning her trust with regular visits. Patsy is adorable. Can you offer help and support?

PEARL  - Adorable young cross breed Staffy looking for love. 
STILL WAITING.........

This sweet and loving small Staffy cross has been sadly overlooked. She arrived into our care still producing milk after her puppies were taken away. After spending a week in stray kennels Pearl came to us and has been searching for a home. She has been seen the vets three times and is now ready to find a new start. She is gorgeous, comical and fun loving. Pearl is only young and needs a home that have time and energy for her. She has broken our hearts but has blossomed into a real sweetheart.

 

Our charity's plan moving forward is as always to find Pearl a new start with the perfect human love match. Pearl has recently has lots of applications however sadly nothing has come of her interest. We are now urgently searching to find her the love and TLC she deserves.

 

Pearl is loving, friendly and an absolute joy to be with. She will make someone a fabulous dog and needs a life of love and luxury. We aim to find her a very special someone.

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.
