Your Home is the Best Shelter a Dog Can Have

Home For Good Dog Rescue

Home for Good Dogs is a 100% foster-based New Jersey dog rescue based in Berkeley Heights, NJ.  We have been able to save over 12,000 dogs in 14 years thanks to the financial support of our generous donors. We rescue homeless dogs from high-kill shelters in the South, socialize, care for, and provide them life-saving medical care at our property in Aiken, SC, transport them to our rescue in New Jersey, nurture them in our network of foster families, and finally adopt them into loving homes – giving them a second chance at life.
