Everyone can support the animal rescue mission!

Last week, our friends Alexa and Eliana decided that they wanted to set up a hot chocolate stand to raise money for LDCRF. To maximize proceeds, they decided to start early in the morning to catch neighbors walking their dogs who would be excited about the cause-and they worked on 4 different mornings!

Thank you to Eliana and Alexa for raising $106 for animals in need-we're inspired by your thoughtfulness and creativity!

We're proud to have the support of people of all ages who want the best for our animals. Check out our website to learn more about volunteering or donating to LDCRF: https://ow.ly/FEBq50UrM9t

“Harry is the absolute funniest dog I have ever met," laughs his foster Mom. "He does the cutest little happy dance every time he sees you, whether you’ve been gone for a few hours or just a minute. He is super cuddly and loves to be right next to you."

🎶 She's just wild about Harry and Harry is just wild about her ... AND toys, teenagers, and treats—most especially teens WITH treats. Harry is a silly fella. 🐶

Game for an outing, Harry makes for good company — on foot for long walks 👟 or in a car with his head hanging out the window to catch the wind rushing by. 🚙

He reminds us how full life can be.🌞

🧸 He's self-entertaining (himself and you), tossing beloved stuffies around then settling in for a snooze.

At 2 years old, Harry has good house manners and the boy knows what he likes: peace and quiet, structure and schedule. Psst. His crate is his safe place.

🎶 We're just wild about Harry — he could be wild about you! Learn how to bring Harry home at ow.ly/BrHZ50UnUQX

🐶 Ruth, Bailey, and Mickey are waiting to meet YOU!

While they may be 3 different kinds of dogs, they have a few things in common-young, friendly, and excited to meet their new families and for their new lives ahead!

-Ruth is a 2 year old Treeing Walker Coonhound, which mean she needs LOTS of space to run around and get her energy out, due to her breed as a hunting dog.

-Bailey is just over a year old and loves to play chase with other dogs. She's still getting used to warming up to people, but share a piece of chicken with her and you'll be best friends forever!

-Mickey is just 9 months old and wants lots of attention and cuddles. He would benefit from basic puppy training but will soon make a wonderful buddy for walking and for hanging out!

Congratulations to Jax, formerly known as Benji, on finding his forever home recently! His new family had another Lost Dog pup for nearly 10 years, and we're so thankful for their continued support in animal rescue ❤️ Here's what they had to say about Jax's first few weeks home:

"Our hearts are full once again. We lost our wonderful pup Cruz back in February who was also adopted from Lost Dog Rescue 10 years ago and came from Puerto Rico. It's was a tough 8 months as we navigated our life without a dog. We weren't sure if we would ever find a dog that would fill our hearts as he did until we met Jax. We didn't have any intention on taking Jax home the same day he was available for adoption. I simply took my daughter to play with some puppies. The one thing that truly attracted us to him is watching how my daughters eyes lit up and how playful they were with each other. I'm not one to believe in fate but when we met the foster for Jax and found out he was from Puerto Rico and his last name was Cruz we knew it was meant to be!"

Happy Tails, Jax! 🐶
