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.
Review from Guidestar
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.
LDCRF is an amazing rescue! This responsible and innovative charity saves thousands of dogs and cats every year. They need and deserve your support!
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.
