Story
Meet Nelson (7yo), a loving, loyal, well trained dog who has been our companion since rescued at one year old. He’s incredibly affectionate with family and great with kids, but has strong protective instincts around strangers, especially near the front door. With our growing family and more frequent visitors, it;s become harder to manage his guarding behavior. Nelson would thrive in a quiet home with a large yard or farm, big bed, and home willing to give him snuggles. He needs space out side of the city to run. He is well trained, will bike 10+ miles with you, and be the best companion for long hikes or camping trips (his favorite). We love him deeply, and this decision comes from a place of wanting what’s best for him. We simply don’t need his protection and know someone needs his love. Nelson will come with beds, kennel, food, and a donation to the right home and family to ensuring he continues to live a great life. If you think you might be the right fit, please reach out us.

Story
This sweet male dog was found in southwest Missouri about six months ago by my MIL in very rough shape—malnourished, dirty, and clearly down on his luck. Over the past six months, she has lovingly nursed him back to health. He is now neutered, fully vetted, dewormed, up to date on all shots, and we will provide complete vet records. He is crate trained and potty trained, and overall a very good boy. That said, because of his unknown life before being found and my MIL’s health and living situation, he hasn’t had much formal training. He will need work on basic commands (like sitting and not jumping up). He’s about 55 pounds, very strong, and for that reason we do not recommend a home with small children, or elderly adults. What he does have in spades is love. He is a total sweetheart and a complete love bug. We recently brought him to Colorado and he has been amazing with our dogs-no food aggression at all, and he doesn’t know what people food is! He bonds quickly and loves to cuddle!

Story
Angelo is truly an angel—sweet, loving, and chill. He has young-dog energy and loves to run and play with other pups, but he’s equally happy relaxing at home with his people. He rarely barks and just needs a moment to feel safe before warming up to new friends. Angelo is crate-trained and comfortable being crated overnight and for 6–7 hours during the day. He’s house-trained, walks well on a leash, knows basic commands, and loves treats. He’s great with kids and other dogs. He’s also good with cats if they’re playful—he assumes they want to play with him—so he isn’t the best match for a cat who prefers their space. Angelo would thrive with a yard and plenty of playtime, and he’s microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to bring joy to his next family.

Story
Hi I'm Boone. I might be the sweetest boy you've ever met and I give the best hugs. My motto in life is play hard, cuddle hard. Playing with other dogs and running around outside are my favorite things to do. I can’t deny that I am fascinated by bunnies and squirrels, I might need some help focusing! The only thing I like more than playing with other dogs is getting love from my family. I admit, I do like women more than men, and start out a little uncomfortable around strangers. If cuddling was an Olympic sport, I would win the gold medal. I'm pretty chill and up for just about any adventure. I'm also super smart and learn quickly. I am good on my leash but I do need some more training, that’s for sure, those mountain bikers totally worry me. Lucky for us, the rescue has free training classes for adopters!  If you're interested in meeting me 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!) My adoption fee is $200 and I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. It also covers 1 private session with our trainer  ##2180928##
