A non-profit organization dedicated to placing lucky dogs in lucky homes luckydogrescue.org
Since 2004 when Lucky Dog Rescue (LDR) was founded, over 7,500 fortunate dogs have found their forever homes.

This foster-based, 501(c)(3) organization, operated exclusively by volunteers, is shelter-free so all rescues reside in private foster homes. “That way we can easily identify problems should there be any and fix them before clearing a dog for adoption,” explains director Dee Alschuler. With about 20 dogs currently in LDR’s care, the rescue’s focus is currently shifting towards older, harder-to-adopt pets.
Lucky dogs that are ready for their new homes have been spayed/ neutered, chipped, are up-to-date on vaccines, and have had basic blood, fecal, and dental work done, if needed.
One member of today’s Lucky Dog Rescue pack is Java—a loveable, fourand-a-half-year-old male, SharPei-Doberman mix who has been looking for an adult-only home to call his own for over eight months. He’s well behaved, housetrained, and a very nice boy. Check out his bio at luckydogrescue.org/ dog-adoption/0000002739. Perhaps this will be his lucky day and…yours too!
They have also had training on basic commands and passed an evaluation of their behavior.
“The home and home environment has to be good for your pet,” said Alschuler. So, after the appropriate paperwork has been completed, LDR makes a visit to where the dog will reside. If there are other pets in the family, a meet and greet is scheduled. Then, following a two-week trial and when the adoption process is complete, LDR goes on to give their adopters support as needed.
LDR was recently awarded Best of Scottsdale Pet Service for eight consecutive years by the Scottsdale Award Program. They are also a proud member of Phoenix Animal Care Coalition (PACC911).
Funding for the organization comes from private donations, corporate sponsors, and fundraisers. If you’d like to make a contribution, topping the list of requisites are money, gift cards, and a need for foster homes.
