 DOG OF THE MONTH Daisy, a sweet & special girl who lost her Home, but not her Spirit!
Below is what Daisy's foster Mom sent to us on Mon, June 28, 2010:
Hi,
I just felt I should let you know that Ms Daisy is the sweetest dog I've ever met--and I'm a dog person.
Daisy has been living with me for 2 months; after my 15 year old Tibetan Terrier died, I couldn't adopt another; but in honor of my dear Marco Polo, who was diabetic and blind, I decided to foster a diabetic and/or blind dog.
I've fallen completely and hopelessly in love with Daisy, and I'd give anything to keep her. She's a wonderful companion, never does anything wrong---really, never---she has excellent manners, asks permission before doing things, is perfectly well behaved, mellow, gets along with everyone, fetches the ball beautifully, is fun and funny, and is an endless fountain of love.
She's beautiful, too, with a Weimeraner face and Lab body.
They just don't come any better than Daisy--honestly, she the nicest dog I've ever met.
I know this note is full of superlatives, but I could hardly believe myself what a perfect dog she is. Two days, and you're hooked for life.
I've been transferred to Afghanistan and have to leave on July 24th; I'll miss Daisy terribly and forever, but I'd love to go knowing that she's been adopted by good people.
If you're good people, then this is the dog for you.
Thanks for letting me indulge in some Daisy praise.
Regards, Mary

Welcome !
Good Dog! Rescue is a small but dedicated group of volunteers We rescue dogs who are at risk and homeless through no fault of their own. Once in our care, these companion animals are fully vaccinated and spayed or neutered. We also provide for those animals who need additional time and medical care before going to a new home. We are an all-breed rescue, but with a special place in our hearts and in our rescue for the "misunderstood" breeds, especially Pitbulls and American Staffordshires. 
WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF MORE FOSTER HOMES!
A foster home is a temporary safe haven for a rescued dog. It is the most crucial yet scarce ingredient in animal rescue. The more available foster homes, the more pets we are able to rescue. For the dogs in animal control facilities, a shortage of space means death. environment and, most important, the love needed to nurture the dog back to his/her happy, healthy self. Some dogs may require special care, such as post medical attention, increasing weight or strength, socializing, building trust, exercise, and fun. Some pets just require you. Through fostering, these animals come to understand that the safest place in the world is in the arms of their caretakers. As little as a week spent in your home will often give the dog the confidence it needs to find his/her Forever Home. The length of commitment is up to you. We provide all of the medical treatment while the pet is in your care, but, as always, we are grateful for any help we might receive from the foster parent. As a foster, you can help us update your foster's Web site bio with information regarding its housebroken status, it's energy level, its temperament, and its ability to get along with kids, dogs, and/or cats. The more we know about the rescue dog through the observation of the foster parent, the better the chance of a successful forever home. If during the course of your fostering you happen to fall in love with your dog and you choose to adopt, your application will take precedence over any other. babies, to love and nurture them for a period of time and then give them up when their new Forever Home is found. By taking just ONE needy rescue into your home, you are making the difference between life and death. Your commitment creates a space for us to take another dog out of the shelter and save another life.
If you think you might be able to offer a foster home, please call us at: Phone (703) 626-7410 e-mail: info@gooddogrescueva.org or visit us at one of our monthly adoption events
