About us:
Home for Good Dog Rescue (HFGDR) is a 100% foster-based, non-profit 501(c)(3) dog rescue established in 2010 in Summit, New Jersey with offices in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. We rescue dogs from high-kill shelters in the South, medically care for them at our Almost Home Wellness Center in Aiken, South Carolina, and transport them to New Jersey, giving them a second chance at life.
Being a 100% foster-based dog rescue means that not a single one of our dogs steps foot in a shelter after being rescued. Each and every one of our dogs lives in a warm and loving New Jersey foster home until the day they are adopted. ❤️
We’re represented on ShelterAnimalsCount.org.
