What We Do

Good Dog is dedicated to animal rescue. In addition to our primary goal of helping homeless and abandoned dogs, we

• donate money to low-cost spay/neuter clinics in the south to help solve the problem of pet overpopulation;

• engage in community outreach activities with local schools to help educate children and young adults about animal rescue and responsible pet ownership;

• team with non-profit organizations that train rescued dogs to assist disabled people. Several of our Good Dogs have become certified service dogs, helping disabled people lead more independent lives.
   

We are proud of the work we do with our good dogs and in our local communities.

South to North Connection

Every month, dozens of our Southern Good Dogs ride the transport north to their new forever and foster homes. The USDA-licensed transport drives up every week to meet new forever and foster families at various locations along the Tennessee-New England route. Our Southern adoptions are long-distance and the dogs are taken directly home from the transport . We facilitate  long-distance adoptions by the transfer of pictures and information about the dog, and we arrange to have the adopter speak to the dog's foster parents. When a dog is in a New England foster home, we are more than happy to arrange a pre-adoption meeting!
