Dog for Adoption - Opal, a Labrador Retriever in Plymouth, CT

Good Dog Rescue

Good Dog Rescue is a an all-breed rescue group headquartered in Enfield CT. Our group is comprised of volunteers all over Eastern United States who love dogs and want to help those that end up homeless through no fault of their own. Loyal and loving dogs turn up every day in Southern shelters, as owners turn them in or they’re found roaming the streets after being dumped. To the best of our abilities, we evaluate all of our Good Dogs’ temperament and suitability for living with other dogs, cats, and children. A dog’s health is checked, and we make sure they are up-to-date on all shots and are spayed or neutered. Then, we place them in loving foster homes until they find their very own family. Our goal is to meet the needs of each dog as an individual and to assure proper placement in a loving forever home. 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. More than a dozen 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 ConnectionEvery 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!

Meet Opal

To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Sweet, friendly, well socialized, calm, low maintenance. Opal is a 4yo female lab mix who was rescued as a stray in Mississippi. What beautiful amber eyes she has! Great with cats and other dogs and living comfortably with a cat and beagle buddy in her foster home. Good with kids and plays gently with the foster mom’s nieces. Playful with moderate activity level outside (loves to chase the squirrels!) and settles down quickly in the house. Good house manners. Crate trained and housebroken. Obeys basic commands. Loves to be with her people. When she first came to us, Opal had heartworms, but she was treated without complications and cured and is now ready for adoption. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, spayed, weighs about 45 pounds. AWESOME lab mix will make a great companion (and jogging partner) for an active family. Here’s a note from her foster mom: Opal is the best and sweetest foster dog we've had the pleasure to host! She's affectionate, easy-going, and a JEWEL; she loves other dogs, cats and people! She sleeps in a crate all night without a fuss until morning, is house trained, and we've had no accidents in the house or crate. She's become a great leash/harness walker, and is non-reactive to other dogs we encounter (quite interested in squirrels, tho). Opal loves toys, balls, kongs, and especially TREATS, knows "sit", "come", her name, and responds well to corrections. She would do well in a busy household with children and other pets, or would also thrive with an active adult to take her on walks and hikes...Opal will melt your heart with her golden eyes!
