Now in its second year of operation, Lucky Dawg Animal Rescue Inc. is continuing its mission to rescue homeless, abused or unwanted dogs and cats and find them permanent, loving homes. The nonprofit, no-kill, all-volunteer organization was founded on Jan. 1, 2018. “Last year, 100 dogs were adopted and 70-plus cats,” reported Mary Bauer, founder. “This year, we have surpassed those numbers already. We are at 150 for dogs and we are still tallying the cats, but we passed that (number) as well.” The rescue has also developed a relationship with the Coatesville Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center. This past spring, the rescue was able to help homeless Vietnam veteran David Tillman provide care for his dog, See Lucky Dawg pg 2

Cinnamon, an adult female pit bull terrier mix, is currently available for adoption from Lucky Dawg Animal Rescue.
