SPECIAL APPEAL DARLA. 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 broken leg and 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 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 young dog deserves to find a new start and is so affectionate. We adore her but simply cannot find her a home.
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 loving home. Her journey has been a very long one so far. Our girl remains homeless this Christmas but never loveless.
NORA - Loyal and loving and in need of a special home.
NOW IN FOSTER
This stunning girl is Nora. She is a German Shepherd cross who came into our care as a very skinny stray. She is two years old and sadly has endured a sad life.
Nora is ball crazy and a foodie and so beautiful. She will do anything for a toy or a ball and loves attention. She has formed a huge bond with everyone at kennels and is now ready to find a new start. Nora will need an active home where someone adores this breed and loves an outdoorsy adventure. Please support adoption. Nora is a beautiful dog.
We appeal to rescue minded adopters to please consider larger dogs left behind. Nora has so much love to give and will make someone a very loyal girl. She needs a dedicated adopter who is prepared to continue with guidance and training. CALLS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO DISCUSS OUR DOGS. WE ADORE THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
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.
