Story

Hi, I'm Jaclyn, and I need to find a new home for my dog. This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write.My dog is a 2 1/2-year-old pit mix I've had since he was 2 months old. He's e-collar trained and deeply loved, well cared for and worked with his whole life.We have a small dog and a cat at home, and he's never had an issue with either. But recently at my brother's house, he killed their cat. It's clear he needs a home where his prey drive is understood and managed safely, ideally with no small animals, or by someone experienced with that in a pit bull.I won't take him to a shelter. I want him with a family or experienced person who knows the breed and can give him a safe, structured, loving home. He's affectionate, loyal, and has so much love to give.I'm sharing his full history because I want honesty to lead him to the right home. If you know someone who might be a fit, or a reputable pit bull rescue, please reach out.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Recently, Tiger Lily suffered a loss in the form of her person passing away. For the last 2.5 years, she has lived as an only-dog to an elderly man. He had been Tiger Lily’s temp foster through the shelter and continued to be there for her once we pulled her into rescue in an effort to save her from euthanasia and get her the extensive emergency dental care she needed. A great fit for each other, Tiger Lily enjoyed being his companion. Now a healthy senior at nearly 10 years young, she’s looking for an adopter to spend her golden years with. It’s hard to describe Tiger Lily without overusing the word love. Afterall, that’s what she’s all about. Tiger Lily loves everyone she meets. When petting this extremely affectionate girl, she leans in as though to say, “Where have you been my whole life?” Her doting nature is carried over to her stuffed toys. We’ve seen her meticulously pick out her favorites from a toy box and, one-by-one, carry them over to her bed before diving in and enjoying them. Don’t let her age fool you: Tiger Lily lights up at the very mention of a walk. Forget all the fitness apps: If you need an exercise partner to motivate you to get your daily steps in, Tiger Lily is there for you. Her preference would be a route that never ends, but she’s happy to follow your lead. Tiger Lily is well-mannered on the leash, sticking by your side and waiting for cues. Tiger Lily would be happy as an only-dog or living as part of a pack. At the end of a long day, this sweet soul will put herself to bed, where she sleeps peacefully through the night. She’s more than ready to find a home to call her own.

Cadbury

Great Dane

Male, 1 yr 9 mos

Long Beach, CA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

Meet Cadbury, a gentle giant who is living proof that the best things in life come in extra-large packages. At just eight months old, this handsome Great Dane is already a sturdy 145 pounds of pure love. While he might start off a little shy and skittish in new environments, don't let that initial caution fool you. Once Cadbury knows he’s safe, his "Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky" personality shines through. He transforms into a vibrant, affectionate companion who truly believes he is a lap dog, despite his impressive size. Cadbury is the ultimate social butterfly once he finds his rhythm. He gets along famously with other dogs and finds pure joy in a good game of romp-and-play in the yard. Because he is still a growing adolescent with a lot of power behind his zoomies, he would thrive best with an adopter who has experience with giant breeds and can help him navigate the world with confidence. Whether he’s giving lean-in hugs or following you from room to room for pets, his main goal in life is simply to be near his people. If you have a heart (and a couch) big enough for this sweet boy, Cadbury is ready to fill your days with wagging tails and oversized affection. Please reach out to Goodest Dog Rescue to learn more about bringing this happy boy into your life.

Winnie

Great Dane Cane Corso

Female

Long Beach, CA

Details

Story

Meet Winnie, the pint-sized powerhouse who has already beaten the odds and is ready to take on the world. This 15-week-old Great Dane and Cane cross mix is a true parvo survivor, and she’s come out the other side with a fearless, head-on approach to life. While she currently weighs in at a manageable 27 pounds, don't let her "handbag dog" status fool you—she is destined to be a hundred-pound companion who still thinks she’s a lap puppy. Winnie is remarkably brave for her age, remaining unfazed by loud noises or the hustle and bustle of Santa Barbara errands. Whether she’s being carried through a store or co-piloting from the passenger seat, she is a steady, curious girl who greets every new adventure with a wagging tail. Winnie is a high-energy soul with a big personality that shines through her love for playing fetch with sticks and her deep desire to please her people. Because she is a bit more high-strung than your average Dane, she’ll thrive with an active family who can provide clear boundaries and plenty of engagement. She’s currently learning the ropes with other pets; while she is very affectionate, her bold and vocal nature means she would do best with a patient family who can guide her through socialization with cats and older dogs. If you’re looking for a resilient, adventurous spirit to grow up by your side, head over to goodestdogs.org to start an application and bring this brave girl into your life.

Story

Meet Rex, a tiny explorer with a giant heart and a story as vast as the desert sky. Born under an RV in the quiet of the desert, this four-week-old Great Dane started life with a sense of adventure that he carries with him every day. At just 11 pounds, he’s currently a pint-sized bundle of wrinkles and curiosity, but he’s already finding his voice. Whether he’s narrating his lunchtime or "talking" back to his toys, Rex is a vocal little guy who isn’t afraid to let you know he’s ready for attention and affection. Because he is so young, Rex is a blank slate who will thrive in a home ready to guide a large-breed puppy through the wonders of growing up. He is naturally curious and friendly, making him a wonderful candidate for households with children, cats, or other canine siblings who can show him the ropes. While he’s currently small enough to scoop up in your arms, he is going to be a very big boy. We are looking for a family who understands the unique joys and responsibilities of raising a Great Dane, ensuring he grows into the gentle giant he is meant to be. Rex has spent his first few weeks proving that he’s a resilient, happy soul who just wants to be part of the action. If you’re looking for a chatty, inquisitive companion to grow alongside your family, Rex is waiting to start that journey with you. Reach out to Goodest Dog Rescue today to learn more about bringing this desert treasure into your life.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Watching Dora discover the world at five years old is nothing short of magic. After a lifetime of uncertainty, this 95-pound Great Dane is finally learning that life can be soft. She recently celebrated her first-ever belly rub, and now that she’s had a taste of kindness (and the occasional scrambled egg), she is saying a resounding "yes" to everything the world has to offer. While new sights can sometimes startle her, she is a natural on a leash and greets every person and child she meets with a wagging tail and a gentle heart. Dora is looking for a patient home where she can continue her brave journey of "firsts." Because she’s still learning her own strength and has a high prey drive, she needs a sanctuary free of cats or small animals. She can be a bit reactive when she sees other dogs, so she’ll thrive with an experienced leader who can guide her through slow, thoughtful introductions. She has just recently found her voice, and while she’s still deciding how to use it, her affection for her humans is loud and clear. If you have room in your heart for a resilient soul who is ready to be loved, Dora is waiting to meet you at Goodest Dog Rescue.
