Lucky Ones is a non-profit organization relying on the discounted services of local veterinarians,
donations of cash, food, and dog supplies, and volunteers. You can help Lucky Ones in any of these ways.
Adopt a dog from Lucky Ones.
Adopting from Lucky Ones saves a dog from euthanasia because the dog is not being adopted
due to age, breed, or any variety of reasons.
Provide a foster home for a dog.
Volunteers foster dogs for adoption in their homes to get them out of the shelter.
Fostering a dog helps by socializing the dog (with people and other pets), giving the dog an opportunity
to be him/herself (the shelter is very stressful and dogs do not behave normally while there), and
providing the dog with love and attention.
Donate time at our Saturday Showcase events.
Each Saturday Lucky Ones showcases available dogs at the Petsmart in the Festival Shopping
Center, Waldorf, MD. Volunteers display the dogs, answer interested adopters' questions, describe the
dogs' behavior, explain the circumstances that lead to the dog being rescued, and assist Lucky Ones
in screening interested adopters.
Donate dog items.
Donations of food, bowls, beds, toys/bones, crates, blankets, collars/leashes, flea/tick
prevention medicine, heartworm prevention medicine, and other useful items are needed and gratefully
accepted. Volunteers who foster our dogs normally provide all necessary items for the dogs at their own
expense and are happy to accept donated items to help care for the dogs.
Donate money.
Money donations to Lucky Ones help pay for care of foster dogs, necessary medical
treatment, flea/tick medicine, heartworm prevention medicine or other special medicine a dog may need,
compensate the few professionals offering services to Lucky Ones, and support for special adoption
events.
Provide free/discounted professional services.
Lucky Ones relies on discounted professional veterinary professionals to spay/neuter dogs,
provide vaccinations, perform necessary medical procedures, and prepare dogs for
adoption.
If you can help in any of these ways, please contact
us!
Your contribution is needed and much appreciated!
