Story
Meet Agnes!  At just 6 pounds, Agnes may be tiny—but her heart is full of potential. This petite Chihuahua is a sweet soul who blossoms with time, patience, and love. Once she feels safe, Agnes reveals her snuggly, playful side and will happily curl up beside you or bounce around with joy. Agnes is currently working on her potty training and socialization, and she’s making steady progress with the help of her foster family. She’s already kennel trained and finds comfort in having a cozy space to call her own. She thrives when she’s near her people and would do best in a calm, adult-only home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace. Agnes has a soft spot for her canine companion, Edith, and while they’re somewhat bonded, we believe Agnes could also thrive as a solo pup in the right home. What she needs most is someone who understands that trust takes time—and is willing to continue her training journey with kindness and consistency. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who just needs a chance to shine, Agnes might be your perfect match. If you're interested in meeting her please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in me!) Her adoption fee is $300 and she is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations ##2555725##

Story
Meet Edith!   Edith is a delicate blend of Chihuahua and Chinese Crested charm, with a quiet spirit and a heart that’s learning to trust. She’s more independent than her buddy Agnes, but don’t let that fool you—Edith has a soft spot for snuggles once she feels safe. This shy girl is still working on her socialization, and she’s making gentle progress every day. She’s kennel trained and finds comfort in routine, especially when paired with a calm, confident canine companion. Edith absolutely loves going for walks—it’s her favorite way to explore the world and build confidence at her own pace. Edith would thrive in a home with another dog who’s patient and tolerant, someone who can model social behavior and help her feel secure. A quieter household without children would be ideal, giving her the space and stability she needs to continue blossoming. If you’re someone who understands that trust takes time and are ready to offer Edith the gentle guidance she deserves, she’ll reward you with quiet loyalty and tender moments that feel truly special. If you're interested in meeting her please fill out an application at www.thegooddogrescue.org (If you already have an approved application, please email thegooddogrescueadoptions@gmail.com with your interest in her!) Her adoption fee is $300 and she will be spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption ##2555726##

Story
When Wolverine came to me a few months ago, he was really sick. With vet visits, medication and time, he ‘s happy, full of love and ready for his forever home. Wolfy will be shy at first but he comes out of his shell when he feels safe. He likes sitting in your lap getting belly rubs and giving kisses. Due to his illness he hasn’t been introduced to a harness or leash  much, so he’ll need  more training. He’s trained with potty pads, but he’ll need training for outside. Wolfy is a blessing and so sweet. We’re excited to meet his new family. ##2567524##

Story
General Information:Cookie is an approximately 4-year-old female dog who has been spayed, microchipped, and is current on her vaccinations. She arrived at the rescue facility at the end of August 2025 accompanied by one puppy, who has since been adopted. Origin and Arrival:Cookie was rescued from Southeast Colorado; we believe that she and her puppy were left outside without a lot of human interaction. Training and Behavior:She is kennel-trained and familiar with using a doggie door.  Although she has experienced a few accidents inside the house, with consistent supervision, it is expected that she will become reliably housetrained. Social Compatibility:Cookie generally gets along well with most dogs but exhibits some bossiness and jealousy, especially when attention is given to other dogs. Therefore, careful management of interactions with other pets is advisable. Ideal Home Environment:It is recommended that Cookie be placed in a household with older children who are knowledgeable about dog behavior and language, ensuring a harmonious and understanding environment suitable for her needs. ##2505063##

Story
Rudy and His Mama - Rescue Intake Report Introduction Rudy and his mama were brought to the Rescue from a southeastern town, where they were not being properly cared for. Both Rudy and his mother were quite feral when they first arrived at the rescue. Mama's Background Mama is a 2-year-old female dog. She has been spayed and microchipped and is up-to-date on her vaccinations. When Mama first arrived, she and her baby were very feral and closed off. However, since being in the Rescue's care, they have become more open and affectionate, seeking attention and love. Mama's Behavior and Training Mama learned to use the doggy door very quickly. She is accustomed to being crated at night. Mama is not yet fully housetrained, but she should pick up on it quickly with some additional training and time. Mama generally does well interacting with most dogs. Recommendations Mama would do best in a home that can provide her with patience, care, and continued training to help her adjust and become better socialized. Her new family should be prepared to work on housetraining with her. She can be very jealous of other animals getting attention; she would be a great only dog or a dog that is not a lap dog. She has done good with kids that are not quick movers.  She would do best with older kids. With the right environment and support, Mama has great potential to become a loving, well-adjusted companion. Overall, Mama is a young dog who has made significant progress since being at the rescue, and with the right home and care, she has a bright future ahead of her. ##2422213##
