How long have you been volunteering for Lucky Dog?
Giving Back to Our Furry Friends
It began like the rest. My daughter texted me a link to a Lucky Dog in boarding that needed a foster family. The link was for a young guy named Russell. He was some crazy mix of boxer and a dozen other things.
I’ve adopted rescue dogs most of my adult life, always having one or two as part of my family. They were all amazingly resilient and adaptable, despite having been through so much. Harriett the lab mix is no exception.
My Journey Into Rescue began after Hurricane Harvey, and soon afterward Tropical Storm Irma. I saw countless posts on the news about pets in need of homes after the disasters.
I originally had no intention of adopting a cat... but I love kitties and often toyed with the idea of adopting. A friend of mine who is heavily involved in cat adoptions for Lucky Dog proposed a great idea – cat fostering!
It’s all still very much a blur. I arrived a few weeks ago from South Carolina. They put us in a loud machine for a long time and when we got out this big man picked us up and took us home.
For a couple of years, there was hardly a week that went by that we did not have Lucky Dog puppies in our house. Sometimes there were one or two.
