Good Catch Dog Rescue

Good Catch Dog Rescue We are a small rescue who helps to combat the local stray dog population in South Texas. We're small but we're mighty.

Good Catch Dog Rescue came to fruition after years of living in South Texas and not seeing an end to the overpopulation of unwanted companions. Every dog we've rescued has left us with reason to go back for more and each of them has been deemed a good catch!

Ruby and her babies have graduated from the kitchen to our Good Catch building. Although we haven’t finished it, it has all that we need and everything a rescued momma and her 3 babies could ask for.
In this quiet space they can explore, play and rest without boundaries. It’s also a great spot for meet and greets! Pups will be 5 weeks on Saturday. At 6 weeks they’ll have received their first vaccine and we’ll begin looking for adopters. By 9 weeks they’ll have received their 2nd puppy shot and at 10 weeks they can go on to their lucky families.
Ruby begins her heartworm treatment in another week. She’ll hang with us a little longer to get her back to good health.❤️

It’s always exciting to find out the DNA results of one of our foster dogs. Knowing their breeds gives us so much insight on their traits and tendencies. But knowing their relatives sometimes gives us information about their previous owners.
Benny’s Wisdom Panel results arrived in our inbox this morning. He’s got 15 breeds that make up his recipe but not one was Boxer. 😅
In another surprising twist, he’s also VERY closely related to our Wildflower family who you may remember from when we rescued 7 dogs after they were dumped in 2023. Bonnie (a momma) and 6 of her pups were abandoned not far (5 miles) from where Ruby was found. Their story was heartbreaking as they trusted no one and took so much time to decompress.
Benny’s DNA matched our wildflower pups by almost 30%. The possibility that the same individual who so callously discarded a family of 7 like garbage could also be the coward who dumped a VERY pregnant and heartworm positive dog, is higher than 30%. In fact, I’d be inclined to believe it’s 100%.
While these puppies and their Momma Ruby are safe now, the serial dumper who continues to neglect his dogs and dump them when they are at their lowest, has somehow become my taskmaster.
Oh what I would give to have his DNA results…

Onward and upward dear Denver. We may not have “saved” you, but we vetted you and found you the best family to care for you endlessly.
Thank you to Denver’s first dad, James for rescuing him, to Michelle for introducing us and to Bonnie for bringing him to Good Catch.
You’ll be home by noon on Saturday buddy- thanks to Freedom Run Express!


We want answers and soon we will have them for Ruby, Ralph, Benny and Yvette. Gotta love these DNA tests!

Denver started out his morning at Southern Winds Veterinary Services where he got to see Dr. Alsop and Tessa for his health certificate. He passed with flying colors and then we headed to Pink Poodle for his first grooming! This dude loves meeting strangers and can hardly contain himself. He leaves Thursday with Freedom Run Express to his new family in Albany, New York.
This is not a business that does well all on it’s own. So many good people in our lives to get these dogs ready for their forever homes.

Ruby’s puppies turned 3 weeks yesterday and have officially entered “gruel stage”! Their little teeth are coming in and they were hungry even after nursing, so they’re being supplemented with canned puppy food with some formula mixed in.
These 3 are soooo pudgy and their coats are thick and soft like dense velvet. Ruby still keeps a close eye on them but is asking to get out and play more with our other dogs. She’s got the hots for Denver and is determined to teach Jolene how to take her energy down 3 notches ( ).
She observes from her double-decker bed full of stolen puppy toys and gives plenty of side eye when she doesn’t agree.

We’re loving life with the fantastic four and look forward to watching them grow.

2 months ago I answered a friend’s post who was trying to get help for 2 dumped puppies that were seeking shelter in a culvert near a busy street.

Della and Valerie came to Good Catch needing a kind hand, nourishment and vetting.

On 10/27, Della was adopted and is due to head home on 11/20.

Yesterday, Valerie was adopted and will join her sister once again on their journey to meet their adoptive families with Freedom Run Express.

If you could have seen how untrusting they were when they first arrived, you might not have believed they’d ever be ready.

Time and kindness works magic on these broken souls.

Thank you Fran for advocating for them, to the Weavers for saying yes to fostering Della and to our adopters for hearing their stories and making room in your homes and hearts.

From the Del Valle, TX streets to Foreverville!

Ruby's pups are 19 days old today. They're very active and have already crawled out of the whelping pen so we added another board where she can still get over but they can't wander out.
They can hear and see a little bit and mom is taking more breaks in between feedings for some "alone time".

Everyone is doing great, eating well, growing fast and being cute. That's all we could ask for.
