Goodest is a 501(c)(3) foster-based rescue for Great Danes with complex medical needs.
We focus on the dogs other rescues can't afford to take. Femur fractures. Heartworm. Mast cell tumors. Post-surgical recovery. Our average vet cost per dog is $1,500, and we say yes anyway.
Every Goodest dog goes directly into a vetted foster home. No kennel. No facility lease. No overhead. 100% of program dollars go to veterinary care and foster support.
Since November 2025, we've pulled 31 Great Danes from California shelters. 0% return rate.
On this channel: intake days, medical updates, adoption stories, foster training, and the dogs themselves. The ones who learn to come up the stairs. The ones who weave between your legs like their one goal is to take you out at the knees. The ones worth knowing.
