Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: The Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation (LDCRF) is a non-profit organization that is actively involved in taking in and finding new, loving homes for at risk cats and dogs. In this process, LDCRF ensures that these companion animals are temperament tested, current on all necessary vaccinations, and either spayed or neutered prior to becoming available for adoption.

Once adopted, LDCRF enters into a contractual relationship with the adoptive family to ensure that the animal is properly cared for, and conducts follow ups to ensure this. LDCRF conducts public adoption events at area Petsmarts on weekends. These events are staffed by volunteers who interview prospective adopters, answer questions about the animals, and take advantage of the opportunity to educate the public on the benefits of spaying and neutering; the need to obtain proper veterinary care; and of providing basic obedience training to their pets.

My favorite rescue group! I have worksed with several and appreciate the efforts of each group...

Disclaimer: I am an active foster and donor.

But Why is Lost dog the best?

Animals are fully vetted and they don’t say no to a need; expense; follow up appointment (I have had to argue/fight and pay out of pocket with other groups

For my birthday this year (2018), I raised funds for the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation of Washington DC, a local nonprofit because their mission means a lot to my family and several of our friends. I had over 40 friends contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit helped me reach my goal and helped support this wonderful organization that gave us - Suzie, Barry and Lucky. Pictures includes other dogs our friends have adopted from LDRF.

We have adopted 5 animals from Lost Dog and fostered many more. Lost Dog and Cat Rescue always has the pets well being as a priority. The volunteers are very encouraging.

Lost Dog is my choice for any charity donation. You can visably see where the money is spent every weekend when you see multiple dogs and cats adopted at Petsmart and Petco. I also volunteer and foster. I have adopted 2 cats and 1 dog from them. They are honest and forthright with information about the animals. Sometimes they just don't know all about the animal but rest assure the animal always has a home with LDCRF.

As a court appointed attorney, I don't have a lot of "extra" money laying around to donate. LDCRF is one of the few places that I will donate my money, when I have it because they use it wisely. They are almost completely volunteer driven, and they are able to keep costs down and help more animals by relying on volunteers, fosters, and local adoption events away from a shelter rather than spending money on physical plant/facility. I'm amazed at how many adoptions they are able to facilitate each and every weekend - more than many of the shelters with permanent physical locations. They have creative fundraisers, that are fun for both humans and furry kids. While a local organization, they travel to rural and out of area shelters and rescues to save lives, giving as many animals as possible a chance at a forever home.
