In 2019 Good Sense Dogs partnered with Joshua's House hospice for the homeless to provide care, training, and re-homing for the pets of the homeless entering end-of-life hospice care.

We are actively seeking foster homes to receive these pets and help train, care for and re-home. We are having a foster home orientation March 28th from 3-5pm at Round Table Pizza at 3290 Arena Blvd. Other assistance for this project includes animal location volunteers, animal transportation volunteers, public outreach and donation gatherers. More information is available at info@goodsensedogs.com/ www.goodsensedogs.com

About GOOD SENSE DOGS

Location:

270 PENHOW CIR, SACRAMENTO, CA 95834, US

Mission Statement

We believe in the connection between pets and people. In order to help our community, we educate people and train dogs. By aiding current pet owners, educating potential pet owners, and providing assisting animals to those who need them, we work to improve the lives of people and pets alike.

Description

Good Sense Dogs has four programs that serve the community with an eye towards helping pets and people alike.

​The focus of our training program is training dogs with purpose for people who need them. Our difference from other trainers is in specializing and customizing trained dogs for people who need or seek dogs with a purpose. This may be service dogs, therapy dogs, dogs with specialized skills, or just dogs who are trained with unique and desired capabilities. We rescue dogs with promise and train them to maximize on their potential.

​Our education program, Ahead with Tails, gives communities that are often otherwise without pet care knowledge or resources the tools they need to be capable pet owners and, potentially, with vocational skills to help them in the future.

Our latest branch is our rescue, Sensitive Souls. We have partnered with Joshua's House to provide training, care, and eventual re-homing for the pets of the terminally ill homeless.
