Saving Lives; One Rescue at a Time
At Lucky Dog Animal Rescue, we believe that every animal deserves a second chance. As a dedicated volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are committed to rescuing homeless and neglected dogs and cats. Our foster-based program allows us to provide safe and nurturing environments for our four-legged friends until they find their forever homes.
When you choose to adopt a puppy, a dog, cat or kitten from Lucky Dog, you're not just gaining a loyal companion; you're making a lifesaving decision that helps combat the cycle of homelessness in animals. By adopting instead of shopping and buying from a breeder, you are supporting our mission and helping us continue our vital work.
Plus, when you adopt from Lucky Dog, you're also giving a deserving animal a second chance at a happy and fulfilling life. Many of the animals in our care have been abandoned, neglected, or surrendered by their previous owners. They come to us scared or lonely, but all in need of love. With your support, we can provide them with a safe and nurturing environment while we search for their forever homes.
Our Mission
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is a volunteer-powered nonprofit dedicated to rescuing homeless, neglected, and abandoned animals from certain euthanasia and finding them loving forever homes. We educate the community and all pet parents on responsible pet parenting, including the importance of spay/neuter, obedience training, and good nutrition.
Our Vision
We envision a world where all animals are spayed and neutered and where all pets have responsible families and loving homes.
Our Philosophy
Successful Lucky Dog adoptions depend on multiple and strong relationships with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, trainers, and boarding facilities. Through these relationships we are able to rescue hundreds of animals every year, provide them with loving temporary care, and find them well-matched, carefully screened forever homes.

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit organization founded in 2009.

A Campus For Good
With our first-of-its-kind Rescue Campus located in Florence County, South Carolina, we have expanded our ability to care for even more animals in need. Our passionate staff and volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that each dog and cat receives the love and attention they deserve while preparing them for adoption. This state-of-the-art facility includes modern kennels, spacious play areas, and an on-site veterinary clinic. This allows us to provide comprehensive medical care, vaccinations, and spay/neuter services not just to our animals but to community pets as well. It's not just about rescuing animals; it's about supporting our community so that they don’t need to surrender in the first place.
