Lucky Mutts Rescue, Inc (LMR) has been rescuing dogs from around the country since 2015. We operate on a foster and volunteer based, not-for-profit model, and focus of dogs facing euthanasia due to placement in high kill shelters, overpopulation, abuse & neglect, or owner surrender. We take pride in carefully screening every potential foster and adoptive home through a comprehensive approval process. We educate every potential adopter on the dogs' needs, requirements and expectations involved with adding a new dog to their home. LMR provides a community of support for all of our adopters. All dogs we rescue receive full medical care, including spay or neuter, microchip, and vaccinations, treatments, or medications they may need, thanks to our team and network of veterinarians. While awaiting adoption, our dogs are able to decompress, build confidence, and socialize in one of our many nurturing, well supported foster homes.
The application process starts when you fill out an adoption application on our website. Our application coordinator will review, and let you know if she has any questions or needs any additional information. If you have current pets, or have had other pets recently, she will call your veterinarian’s office for a reference check. If you rent, she will call your landlord to verify that it is ok for you to adopt a dog, and to see if you have any breed or size restrictions. Once your application is complete and approved, you will receive an approval email with an application number. We know that once someone has made the decision to add a new family member, they want to get the ball rolling right away. We try to process applications as quickly as we’re able. On occasion, waiting for a vet’s office or landlord to return our call can hold things up for a day or two. Depending on your schedule, and the home visit volunteer working your application, it may take a few days for that appointment to happen. We’ve turned applications around in as little as 24 hours, and we have had some that took over a week. Most take 3-4 days typically, however it could take up to 2 weeks. If there was a specific dog on your application, we’ll let you know 1) if that dog is still available and 2) if based on your application and home visit, that dog is a possible match for you. If so, the foster will get in contact with you to schedule a meeting. If the meeting goes well, the adoption can usually be completed immediately after. If the dog you originally listed isn’t a good fit, we may make other suggestions, or you can let us know what other dogs have caught your interest. If you need help finding that perfect match, that’s ok, too! Let us know if you are looking for a specific type of dog, and we’ll do our best to keep an eye out and notify you when a possible match becomes available. Continue to watch our website and Facebook page for upcoming pups, and let us know when someone catches your eye. Your approved application is good for 6 months, so there’s no rush finding the perfect addition to your family!
