Volunteering & Fostering

We are a small all volunteer rescue organization that saves dogs on death row. Most of the dogs are from Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina shelters which have a very high rate of euthanasia. We also occasionally pull dogs from Texas and Ohio and will on occasion directly take in owner surrender dogs. The dogs we save have little chance of getting out of these crowded shelters alive. Most of the dogs in these shelters are highly adoptable dogs that just simply don’t have a home. Some stray away from their homes and their owners never go looking for them, while others are a result of irresponsible people breeding their animals and simply discarding them at their local kill shelter or letting them loose outside when homes can’t easily be found for them.. Did you know that the black dogs hardly ever get out of these shelters? Just because their coats are black they are killed. There are many people who simply think that black dogs are bad dogs and that there is something wrong with black dogs. How terribly wrong these people are!

Ellie is an approximately 15 hand, 11 yo Registered Paint mare. She was pulled from an auction in 2011. She is great to handle on the ground, but under saddle she requires an experienced, confident and knowledgeable rider. She has a history of bucking under saddle when the rider becomes unbalanced and is currently on pain medication for hock sensitivity which could also be causing her to buck. She is an extremely ‘easy keeper’. Ellie is athletic (although more whoa than go), smart and has a very sweet disposition. She has had over 30 days of professional training and does best with consistent work. She goes both English and Western.   Adoption fee- $250 Favorite

Lucky Cat Rescue is a small stray/feral cat rescue. We have many cats and kittens looking for loving homes. We are an all volunteer 501(c)3 organization. Lucky Cat Rescue is committed to promoting the importance of spaying and neutering all pets. We provide information to educate individuals and communities of responsible pet ownership. We assist with Trap, Neuter, and Return (TNR) of feral cat colonies with caretakers in a safe environment.

Every Saturday, we are at Petco in Ellicott City, showing off our dogs and trying to help raise funds for the critters.
