Good Catch Dog Rescue

Kitty is available for pre-adoption and can be found on our website along with our application to adopt.
This girl has been a model citizen here at the Good Catch farm and we think she's going to make some family pretty darn happy once she makes it into their arms.
Her sister Leeli (formerly known as Patty) will be up next and is equally special!)

Kitty and her sister, Leeli, were found by a good Samaritan in an area of town known for animal abandonment. The two sisters stayed close, relying on one another while still trusting this kind stranger to get them to safety. Good Catch Dog Rescue stepped in to help, and at just four months old, the....

In light of the recent changes by Petfinder, our rescues down south are suffering. A petition has been created to garnish enough signatures to make a stand. If you've adopted from our little Texas rescue, then you understand the value that you have in saving a dog.
Please consider signing and sharing as this is the only way we are able to make positive changes so that we can continue to save lives and not run out of resources.

Ralph and Benny are adopted but their sister Yvette, with her famous mustache, is still looking for a home. We'd love for all 3 to travel together on transport which is scheduled for 1/8. They'll be 12 weeks by the time they arrive North and will still require lots of attention and enrichment while their social skills continue to develop.
They turn 8 weeks tomorrow and Yvette weighed in at 10 pounds, 6 ounces today. She's sweet, curious and wrinkly and we think she'll be bigger than her 38lb momma.

Its official! Kitty (green) and Patty (purple) are no longer on hold and will be ready to go home in just a few short weeks.
To celebrate, they had professional photos (not) taken of them today!
How do these other rescues get such good pictures of their puppies?
Nevertheless, no matter how bad the photos, they are very photogenic and some of the sweetest souls.
These girls are 4 months old and haven’t had one accident in the house. They’re polite, joyful, playful and loving. A recipe for a best friend if you ask us.

Ruby, Kitty and Patty made their way to Southern Winds Vet today to see Jacy and Dr. Alsop. All 3 got weighed in, received their Rabies vaccines and had a physical and they all passed with flying colors!!!
Ruby was 38lbs, Kitty is 28lbs and Patty was 24lbs; these sisters are going to be big girls!

Ruby starts her heartworm injections at the end of the month. She's the happiest little girl and was so excited to revisit the doc who saved her life!

Good Catch welcomed these 2 sisters in today after they were found by a good Samaritan who held them over night and delivered them to us on her birthday!
They’re about 4 months old and we’ve posted them on a lost and found site with the hopes that they weren’t abandoned.
We aren’t holding our breath.
If they are in fact strays, they’ve just hit the lotto. If they aren’t, their owner can reimburse us for their vaccinations, prevention and microchips that they received today.
Good catches come in all different packages. These 2 are wiry ones.❤️❤️

Well, through no fault of her own, we welcomed Valerie back home to Good Catch yesterday.
She got to be a part of a family for 2 short weeks and played in the snow for a few days before hitching a ride on a return trip with Freedom Run Express.

We spend hours processing applications from start to finish. We have lengthy phone calls with applicants and go over the behavior of our dogs and tricks to an easy transition. We send countless photos and videos until the day they leave so that their new families are reminded of who they saved.
What we can not do is anticipate the family’s senior dog having panic attacks because a new, lively presence has made their way into her home. We can’t assure an adopter that it’ll “all be okay” - even though we know it will.
It’s not my place to convince someone who’s already made up their mind. It’s my job to get that dog back safely and start over again.
Valerie grew up a little more since leaving here on the 20th. She even bonded to those kind strangers who loved her until she left. She also bonded to Crissy who she slept on the bed with on the overnight stay in NY on Saturday.
Rescued dogs are not the same dogs you grew up with from puppies. They’ve seen some stuff. They have a strong intuition and sometimes a guarded heart. They can guard that heart for months before giving it to you.
Please don’t “try on” our dogs. Please only adopt a Good Catch because you too have seen some stuff and have a big enough heart to lend them a piece until theirs is free for the taking because I believe Valerie’s might be a little broken right now and now it’s my job to make it right and convince myself (and her) that it won’t happen again.

Benny and Yvette are ready for preadoption! Ruby's puppies are 7 weeks old today and the boys have weighed in at 10lbs while their sister is 9lbs.
All 3 are healthy and loads of cuteness! They had their first outside "adventure" this afternoon while it was in the 70's and sunny.
They are 100% weaned and mom gets to spend time with them now teaching and playing instead of providing the groceries.
3 more weeks they can head home and, in the interim, they'll be here getting all the lovin'.

Welcome home Harry!! You're finally getting the home (and momma) that you've always deserved.
From dumped to devoted...

Harry is officially adopted and he's staying in warm ol' Texas!
Our wiry little survivor who came to us needing a whole lot of lovin' (and dental work) is going to make his home with a very special friend and former Good Catch Alumni who has been waiting for somebody like Harry to come along.
This little boy has a big history and after super-sleuthing his past, we found out that he was a stray puppy in Fort Lauderdale, FL and adopted out in 2018. From there he ended up a stray in New Braunfels, TX and then was reclaimed in 2021. Fast forward to 2025 where he was found over 4 miles from his former owner's home... We understood our assignment, and it was to make things right. And we did!

Microchips save lives and they tell stories. His is a sad one and unfortunately not uncommon.

Congratulations to Harry and to Leslie who just so happens to love little, old and toothless dogs!!!
