Happy Monday from our adorable adoptables! They’re looking forward to this short week, though they don’t know it. In the next few days we’ll be totally booked with volunteers allowing the dogs even more lovins, lots of treats, not too terrible weather and a bunch more treats! With so many great dogs looking for furever home we are grateful to be able to spoil them while they are in our care. We are hopeful their furever families will find them soon!

Mattie is ready to find her furever home! This gorgeous brindle babe arrived to us about 2 weeks ago and has quickly settled in to life at the refuge. She is doing wonderful with her crate, potty and leash training, she is also eager to learn tricks. She loves to go on walkies and really loves wrestling on the turf with Tristan (also adoptable!). Mattie would be a fantastic addition to any home ready for a puppy; she’s sweet, playful and very cuddly. About 5 months old, she has some growing to do. Tomorrow she is getting spayed, so Mattie will be up to date on all her vetting and ready to go home!

Almondine 🤎

Our volunteer Gian was traveling in SC and found a stray dog. It took weeks to catch her. The locals said they had seen her scavenging for food for months. He finally caught her, and after a search to see if she was a lost dog, she made the journey north to . Almondine is available for adoption. She is so sweet and loves other dogs. Please apply on our website at luckydogrefuge.com to schedule a meet and greet in Stamford CT.

Thank you as well to Tischman Pets Photography for her beautiful portrait shots!

Meet Splash #214478, our newest New Hope pull from ! Found on the streets a few days ago, Splash was wrapped in a curtain, covered in blood and f***s, terrified and unable to use her hind leg. Believing she was hit by a car and then abandoned, we can see her front leg nub (what is that called?) is scraped off, her back toenails damaged and her injured leg very swollen. The wonderful Queens branch of NYCACC took her in to get her comfortable, figure out her medical needs and do a stray hold. X-rays showed a broken femur, she was put on medication and now that we have her, as she was not claimed during the stray hold, she will be going to the specialist on Monday. Splash is comfortable, still on medication and appropriately getting exercise & enrichment. Today she got a soothing bath, relaxing as the warm water ran over her stained fur and injured body. Afterward when it was time to dry off she became playful, waggy and so happy to be fresh and clean. Though her fur is still a little yellow, we can only imagine the relief her skin feels.
🐾
Splash has a quite some healing to do, but if she has shown us anything it’s that she’s not even close to giving up. She is ready to take on whatever comes her way and do so with a wag of her tail and a lick to your cheek. Her surgery, no matter what options there are, will be expensive. Donations are desperately needed. We have had many high vet bills this year, and the year isn’t over yet. If you can please donate, share her story, tell your friends, like & comment on this post. Every interaction helps us help more dogs like Splash!!
🐾
We are so grateful to for all the incredible work they do. Caring for dogs of all pawsonailties, taking in every animal you could imagine and doing everything they can to help the animals in their care. They work tirelessly to do the sometimes impossible. We are amazed at their work in NYC and what they do for the pets.

Fridays are for new friends, long walks, leaf piles and sunning on the boardwalk. Though the mornings are chilly, we have a stockpile of sweaters for the dogs (some refuse to wear them!), cozy quarters they return to after walks and an abundance of love. Just another day in pawradise waiting to find the perfect furever home 🐾

As he runs down the field, quickly pivoting to leap and catch the ball, you might not notice much different about Bruno. Take a close look though and you’ll see he does it all on 3 legs! Bruno doesn’t let the loss of a limb hinder his movement, that “rear wheel drive” propelling him to reach the lengths and heights of his AWD peers. Agile and athletic, this boy will keep you on your toes. He is also a lovebug, eager to cuddle up for some belly rubs, ear massages and treats. Bruno has been with us since early August, after spending a few months with our vet partners in KY after his amputation. Recently he has been joining pack walks to socialize at a respectable distance, he is doing well but still likes his space. He has shown us that he would prefer to be an only pet, ready to lap up all your affection. About 3-5yrs old, 75lbs, and fully vetted this hound mix can’t wait to meet you!

🎨🥂🖼🐾 We had the most perfect day champainting at Pinot's Palette's Pet Portraits fundraiser, of which the proceeds will benefit our Lucky Dogs! We were joined by animal lovers of all ages as we painted and sipped for hours. It just may be the most fun we have had in a long time! We were so touched by the adopters and familiar faces who showed up, and we were so impressed with the level talent in the room and the masterpieces that were created. Bluebelle (who is currently in foster but available for adoption!) worked the room, saying hello to everyone, giving pointers, and sneaking snacks.

We heard there was a 20-person wait list for this event! 🥹‼️ We are in awe. Pinot's Palette Stamford has graciously offered to host another pet paint and sip event for us in the new year, so if you weren't able to join us yesterday, don't fret! We will see you at the next one. If you came yesterday and loved it so much you want to come again, we would love to have you! You can paint a different pet or a different photo of the same pet(s), or we will find something entirely different for you to work on!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to support us and the most enormous thank you to Pinot's Palette Stamford for hosting us! Your staff was incredibly gracious and welcoming. A shout out to Amber (whose side hustle is - give her a follow!) for pitching the event and Chad for making it all happen. We hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Stay tuned for the next event! We can't wait for another perfect painting day!



Will we see you at the next Paint and Sip Night at Pinot's Palette in Harbor Point?

This is Evie, a sweet Lucky Dog in Kentucky who (fortunately) has had her last litter of puppies. At a mere two years old, her body already shows the signs of multiple, painful pregnancies. Until now, she was likely used as a reproductive vessel for backyard breeders who wanted to sell puppies for hunting and who would then dump the unsold puppies on the side of the road to die. Lucky for Evie, she is now spayed and can break that cycle; she is excited to start a new life, free from puppies and forced reproduction.

Did you know that a single female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in six years? A single female cat and her offspring can produce over two million cats in eight years. Now, don't get us wrong, we love puppies and kittens! But not when overpopulation means lifetimes of suffering, not when there are so many dogs already in need, looking for homes and never finding them. According to the ASPCA, 390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats are euthanized each year due to overcrowding. Why do we keep adding to that number?

Let's not forget the health benefits! Data from the Humane Society of America shows that one benefit of having a dog sterilized is that on average, fixed dogs live longer than intact dogs. In fact, sterilized males live 13.8% longer, while spayed females live more than 26% longer. Our beloved pets aren't with us long enough as it is, why would we do anything to shorten that time even more?

Every single Lucky Dog gets spayed or neutered, but there are only so many we can help directly. We are constantly brainstorming ways to do more, but it will never be enough. We need everyone to contribute to the cause. Help create a world with healthier dogs who have a chance to survive and thrive. Help reduce accidental litters and the number of dogs suffering on the streets. Help end backyard breeding and the abuse of female dogs. It starts with spay neuter. It starts in our own backyards. Tell your neighbors, tell your friends. Advocate for our dogs and spread the word about the importance of spay neuter. Evie and so many other Lucky Dog mamas thank you.

Tischman Pets PhotographyMeet Zuri! An adorable small breed senior who was surrendered to us a few weeks ago. Zuri suffered a uterine prolapse for over a year, she desperately needed medical attention. After getting Zuri we immediately brought her to the vet and scheduled for surgery. She is now feeling so much better, wagging happy and full of love. Zuri settled into life at the refuge and recently went to a foster home. She is a sweet little girl who deserves to live out her golden years spoiled. She loves to go on walks, is happy to sit in a stroller and also enjoys a good cuddle. Zuri would make a wonderful lowkey companion for anyone ready to chill. Zuri is about 10lbs, fully vetted and ready to live her best life.

It’s Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and we have the pawfect candidate!!! Still looking for her furever home, Abby is a senior from Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC). We pulled Abby in January, she had sat at NYCACC for about 2 months after being surrendered. Abby had so many people on social media saying they would adopt her, but she’s still waiting. This sweet senior is ready to get out of the busy shelter and settle into her furever. She would love to lounge all day, basking in the sun. Strolls around town, sniffing here and there, taking in all life has to offer. Abby is a good girl, she loves all people knowing that means more pets. She has been passive during most pack walks but has not had any off leash interactions with other dogs (besides her pal, Elle), she also seems to have a dislike for small fluffy dogs, getting very focused on them. We believe Abby would prefer to spend her golden years as an only pet, taking all the love and affection for herself. Medically Abby’s lumps are benign, she’s up to date on all vaccines and is spayed. During her spay her mammary chain was removed, and she recently had the other side done. She is now amost a month out from surgery and doing wonderful. About 11yrs old, 80lbs and sweet as can be, Abby is ready to meet you!
