Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: Lucky dog rescue inc. Is a non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to providing rescue services, vet care, foster care, and adoptive placement to stray and abandoned dogs. Lucky dog focuses its efforts on "barc" (the bureau of animal regulation and care-houston's city pound) in particular the animals that are in danger of being euthanized for whatever reason and animals that have been at barc the longest (i. E. The 90-day dogs). Lucky dog's main goal is to rescue as many animals as possible and place them in loving homes to help alleviate the crowding at barc, thereby saving even more animals.
Programs: As of 2016, lucky dog rescue has placed over 775 dogs in loving, forever homes. Lucky dog discontinued its partnership with whole foods markets and has reduced its adoption events to twice a year (due to further budget constraints in the houston area), but continues its partnership with reason2race. Lucky dog rescue now also only holds its multi-course chef's tasting fundraising event once a year, each spring (most expenses donated in 2016).
