Helping animals in need. Matching the right pets with the right home so that they are home FOREVER

12/03/2024

Giving Tuesday! It is such a big day for so many of nonprofits.
Lucky Paws Rescue depends on our supporters to keep our doors open so to help the pets in need around Washington.

We've been doing this for many, many years. It's old news now that rescue groups and shelters alike are over-whelmed, too full, over-budget, and short on foster homes. We all have to keep going and helping how we can—the animals are depending on us.

If you can help financially, we can greatly use any help. Food and supplies are a huge cost, and the pets are not getting adopted as quickly.

You can donate directly here on Facebook, or go to our website for PayPal, Venmo, or mailing address here: https://www.luckypawsrescuewa.org/

Here are the following links:

Please help spread the word about Lucky Paws Rescue and our needs to help the cats and dogs.
Thank you so much,
Lucky Paws Rescue

🐶Meet Trixie!

Trixie is a six month old Chihuahua mix that is looking for her forever home or a foster! She is spunky, has some energy and also like to relax on the couch. Trixie is still young and learning all the basic puppy training! She is looking for someone with small breed experience as she is currently only four pounds!

She is good with dogs and has been in a home with cats before but may be happiest in a home without kitties. She tends to play a bit rough and sassy with them. Trixie is a happy girl and would make a great mini companion!

💜If you think Trixie might be the girl for you, please fill out an application at the link below😃

Sadly, it's not slowing down. This mama and her five kittens were living at a rural construction site. Some of the workers found them annoying and wanted to "get rid of them." A woman who was hired (and a close relative to one of our Lucky Paws Rescue members) to clean up at the site asked them not to do anything while she tried to find help. The local shelter said it was too full and could not take them. She showed up for work one day to find they were gone. One of the workers told her they had been "removed" and dumped away from the site. Remarkably, she was able to get the location and found them all. Now what? We are full, full, full. We have managed to secure a place for mom, and we have been reaching out to others to see if they can take the kittens. HELP!

HOLIDAY HELP NEEDED!

We are in DESPERATE need of foster homes, as we've been pleading. But now, we have a new dilemma. Several of our current foster homes are traveling for the holidays and boarding facilities are already booked.

Are you staying home during the holidays? Would you and your family consider being a short-term host for a rescue dog?

Several of these dogs need foster homes starting next week through the end of the year (they will have somewhere to go come the first of January). Most of these dogs are dog friendly, just have not been around cats.

BETTER YET!!!! If you are interested in ADOPTING one of these special dogs, please submit an application below!

Please consider! The holidays are a busy time for everyone, but our four-legged friends still need us.

Please submit an application here if you can help:

This adorable little guy just wants to be loved and give love!

Mr Peabody is 9 years old and we don’t know a whole lot about his past other than he’s been in a few different homes. His last home surrendered him to us due to an out of state move, and we have promised Peabody that his next home will be his FOREVER HOME!

He is great with other dogs. In his current foster home, he is living peacefully with two other small dogs. He loves to be on the laps of his foster mom and dad—and if their laps are full, he will jump up on the chair or couch behind their head. He enjoys running around the large backyard sniffing out all the smells. His foster mom describes him as an extra happy and loving boy! He loves to play and he loves to be where his people are—he also does well in the car.

Peabody weighs around 16 pounds. He does have some separation anxiety, so he would love to be in a home where time alone is minimal. He also needs a good fence—if there is a “way out” he will find it and sniff out adventures! He is healthy and recently had a dental done.

If you’re looking for the perfect constant companion, Mr Peabody is waiting for you. Please submit an application here if interested in adopting:

FOR ADOPTION (cat-free foster home would be great, too!)

If you are looking for a lovable, sweet, senior dog, meet this handsome fella!

Micha is so wonderful, it’s difficult to believe that he was found all by himself near the Fairfax Bridge not far from Carbonado back in August. He was wearing a prong collar, but no tags. Good Samaritans got him to a local Washington State shelter where he was never claimed and quickly became a shelter favorite with the volunteers.

Being in the shelter is not easy for dogs and it’s certainly no place for a senior. We recently pulled him from the shelter and he has been enjoying the comforts of a foster home. Micha is so lovable and he is extremely dog friendly. He is estimated to be 9 years old—yet he has all the patience in the world for an 8-month-old puppy living in the foster home. Micha is extraordinarily gentle and tolerant of the puppy (who thinks that Micha is his personal playground). Micha does well with any dog he meets. This gentle giant did not even fight back when another dog went after him.

Micha is a big boy—weighing around 110 pounds. He is healthy overall with some typical arthritis (normal in a dog his age) for which he is receiving medication. He was overweight when first brought into the shelter, and has lost about 10 pounds which has helped him tremendously. The volunteers loved taking Micha for walks—he’s an easy boy to leash up and walk.

Micha may be a senior, but he loves to play and run around the yard after a ball or play with the foster puppy. It was discovered he also likes to chase the kitties in the foster home—he’s never hurt anyone, but we are going to error on the side of safety and suggest a cat-free home. If you can foster this boy for now, the foster kitties in the home would be so very appreciative (they are being kept separated for now)! We do not know for sure which breeds Micha is mixed with, but we are guessing he is a Yellow Labrador mixed with possibly some pitbull or mastiff, or others.

It was also discovered that Micha really likes kids! He was first very drawn to them at an adoption event.

WE ARE SCREAMING THIS ONE MORE TIME! (BUT NOT FOR THE LAST TIME!)

We NEED fosters! We have lost a few foster homes recently who were already committed and fostering Lucky Paws Rescue pets. We have lost a foster home due to an out of state family emeregency (totally undertandabel!!) and now need a safe place for five kitties. One of them is mom, the other four are older kittens (4-5 months old)

We NEED YOU NOW!! We do not have a place for them!! PLEASE, if you can take one or two, so that we can finish their vetting and put them up for adoption! OR, if you are interested in adopting one, we can finish the vetting while in your home! These are all very loving, friendly, social kitties!

Here is our application link to submit for fostering or adopting:

Padme, Luke, and Leia

Here is our beautiful mama cat, Padme and her babies! We have so many of you to thank for your support!! We took her in while she was in labor and struggling to give birth—an emergency C-section was required to save her life as well as the lives of two surviving kittens. It was a pretty big bill and so many of you supported us and donated to help cover that! Their foster family has done a phenomenal job with them!! With all of that happening over the week of May 4, they named this little family accordingly❤️Padme, with her babies Luke & Leia We are looking to adopt Luke and Leia out together as a pair. They are in the process of getting all of their vaccinations and will soon be spayed and neutered. Thank you to their foster mom for putting together this adorable video of their story! If you are interested in adopting, please submit an application here: http://form.jotform.us/form/50488470409157 Western WA State - Olympia/Tacoma/Seattle/Surrounding Areas

Want a moment of joy? It doesn’t get any cuter than this! Meet brothers Waffles & Teddy Graham along with their sister Maple! These are Rosie’s puppies and will be available for adoption. Watch for additional info!!

WE HAVE TRANSPORT!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Please watch our page, we will soon be needing transport for the others! *************************************************** TRANSPORT NEEDED TOMORROW - MONDAY, APRIL 22 !!! Pick up at Snoqualmie Pass and deliver to Tacoma ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ This is regarding the mom & three puppies over in Yakima County that we've been posting about for the last few weeks. There are actually FOUR puppies and THREE adults living in an empty lot. We are able to get some of them tomorrow (don't worry...we are working on them all, it's just a LOT to coordinate) We are looking for someone to pick up the four puppies tomorrow at Snoqualmie Pass and deliver them to Tacoma. Please message us or Cat Rescue Squad if you can help!! We are starting with the puppies because they are more likely to wander more now...and this empty lot is near a high speed road.

UPDATE RE: Mom & three surviving puppies - YAKIMA We've still been working to get help for them. Right now, what we REALLY need is someone near White Swan in Yakima County that is willing to go feed and check on them for us. We can't do that from here, and before we can even think about transporting, etc....we really need to find someone over there to assist us. We've been reaching out, even to local rescue and we can't seem to make progress on that. We are not even sure if they have been being fed on a regular basis. PLEASE message us if you are in that area and willing to help. We will pay for the food, etc.

EDIT 4/7/2024: LOTS of people commenting that they want to foster or adopt one of these dogs...and after several days and over 600 "reactions" and 451 shares and 209 comments...we have received ONE application. While it's a good application, we are not sure it will work out, but they want to help and be kept in mind if it becomes a life or death situation. PLEASE do us a favor....do not comment on this post that you "will take one" or that you will foster if you are not serious. It leads others to believe that we have found the help these dogs need. Thank you. ******************************************* EDIT 4/6/2024: PLEASE complete the following application if you are able by fostering. Keep in mind, we are looking for other rescues to help with these dogs, as we are overwhelmed at the prospect of taking all four. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NOT KNOW A LOT ABOUT THESE DOGS, AND THAT THEY WILL NEED TIME IN A HOME AND TIME TO GET VETTING, ETC. DO NOT MAKE AN EMOTIONAL DECISION TO TAKE ONE AND THEN NOT BE COMMITTED TO SEE THIS THROUGH. Also, we understand that the Asher House is a well known & poplular suggestion--we are very familiar with them and have worked with them a bit in the past, and while they are WONDERFUL....they also require dogs to be vetted and have a health certificate to arrive in Oregon...so, they are NOT an immediate option for these dogs. We appreciate everyone's suggestions--but we are LOOKING FOR HELP TO FIND LANDING PLACES. IF YOU WORK WITH A RESCUE, CAN YOU REACH OUT TO THEM DIRECTLY AND POSSIBLY FOSTER FOR THEM? here is the link to our applicaton for fostering and/or adopting: http://form.jotform.us/form/50488470409157 Western WA State - Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle, Surrounding Areas ************************************************************** URGENT HELP NEEDED - This is not Texas.
