The Good Stay provides free, temporary care for dogs when their families are facing hospitalization, surgery, or medical emergencies.

Keeping pups and their people together

The Good Stay is our Non-Profit that keeps pups and their people together.

Sometimes, life changes in an instant — a stroke, a surgery, or a diagnosis can land someone in the hospital for weeks or months. And in those moments, the heartbreaking reality is that many people are forced to surrender their dogs to shelters simply because there’s no one to help.

Through our non-profit initiative, we provide free, temporary boarding to dogs whose owners are facing unexpected medical emergencies. At The Good Dog Club, we believe families should stay together. 

How It Works

Families in Crisis

When an owner faces a medical emergency, we step in.

Safe & Loving Care

Dogs receive temporary boarding, daily enrichment, and attention just like home.

Joyful Reunification

Once recovery is possible, pups return home to the families who love them most.

Real people. Real life. Real Good Stays.

"When my dad had a stroke, we worried most about his dog. The Good Stay stepped in with safe, loving care, giving us peace of mind while Dad recovered. Knowing his best friend was waiting gave him strength, and their reunion was the brightest moment of his healing."

“When I broke my arm and couldn’t walk Bruno, The Good Stay gave me peace of mind. I knew he was safe, loved, and waiting for me to heal—and that comfort was priceless.”




A Good Stay Success Story

"When I had to undergo intense chemotherapy, the toll was heavy on both me and my wife. I was so relieved knowing my dog Jake was safe at The Good Stay. Their care gave us peace of mind and allowed us to focus fully on my treatment and recovery."
