I have adopted several dogs and volunteered for this rescue for many years. These people are so dedicated and incredible. The work is hard and the thanks are little. I am so blessed to be a part of this great mission. They give 110% of themselves to make sure each dog has the best chance at a happy home. It is tireless and most of the volunteers that I have met are so kind and have a true passion and art in rescuing these pups before the inevitable. Lucky Lab has rescued, vetted, rehomed Over 12,000 dogs in the past 11 years. Not too shabby. They take major medical cases to labs who have been displaced for what ever reasons. Selfless selfless work and truly selfless volunteers! Thanks for allowing me to be such a small part of this truly wonderful organization.
One of the most unorganized, unprofessional rescues I have ever volunteered for. I would never recommend fostering or adopting through them. They are unresponsive unless you tell them you are taking legal action. Throughout the duration of their dogs stay at my house, which was months long as no effort was put in to find this dog a permanent home, not once did I get a text or email asking about the well being of the dog. The only time I was reached out to, was if I reached out to them. They did not provide heart worm or flea and tick for this dog. They even gave me a hard time about providing food. Would not recommend.
The folks at Lucky Lab are genuinely trying to help these dogs. However, there is a significant lack of communication. As a foster and volunteer, there were several occasions I or a new adopter needed assistance. Those running the show did not respond to our questions or urgent requests for assistance. We were on my own to figure it out. I can give examples but do not want to reveal my identity for fear of being attacked by some of the members. When problems arise and/or volunteers publicly express their frustration, they are swiftly criticized and ostracized. The rescue could learn a lot from its volunteers if it listened and made adjustments accordingly. Instead, they are defensive and resort to playing the martyr roles. I have since left and focus my efforts with another rescue who values my time and contribution.
I have been a volunteer for this rescue for several years. It’s a wonderful organization that has saved thousands of dogs from shelters.
