LUCKY DOG'S ADOPTIONS REMAINS THE CORE OF OUR ANIMAL PROGRAMS. LUCKY DOG HAD A VERY STRONG ADOPTION YEAR IN 2023. WE ADOPTED OUT 1,650 DOGS AND 1,164 CATS 2,814 ANIMALS IN TOTAL. DURING THAT TIME, WE SAVED 2,743 ANIMALS FROM HIGH KILL SHELTERS THROUGHOUT SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA, VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, TEXAS, MISSISSIPPI, FLORIDA, AND PUERTO RICO. BY THE END OF 2023, LUCKY DOG HAD SAVED MORE THAN 27,500 ANIMALS SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN MAY 2009. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE DOGS AND CATS WERE PLACED IN CAREFULLY SCREENED, LOVING ADOPTIVE HOMES. THOSE THAT WERE NOT ADOPTED IN 2023, REMAINED IN FOSTER CARE INTO 2024, WHERE THEY STAYED UNTIL THEY FOUND THEIR OWN ADOPTIVE HOMES. IN 2023, LUCKY DOG HAD A 100% SUCCESS RATE, MEANING THAT ALL ADOPTABLE DOGS AND CATS RESCUED WERE SUCCESSFULLY ADOPTED OR PLACED IN A LONG-TERM FOSTER SITUATION.FOSTER PROGRAM FOSTER PROGRAM: LUCKY DOG'S FOSTER PROGRAM IS CRITICAL TO OUR ABILITY TO SAVE DOGS FROM HIGH KILL SHELTERS. BECAUSE LUCKY DOG HAS NO FACILITY OF ITS OWN IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA, THE NUMBER OF DOGS AND CATS WE CAN RESCUE OUT OF THE SHELTERS IS DIRECTLY DEPENDENT ON THE NUMBER OF FOSTER HOMES WE HAVE TO PLACE THEM IN. IN 2023, WE ON BOARDED 429 NEW FOSTERS, UTILIZING OUR VIRTUAL TRAININGS WHICH REMAIN POPULAR DESPITE RETURNING TO IN PERSON ADOPTION EVENTS. FOSTERING A LUCKY DOG OR CAT REQUIRES A SPECIAL COMMITMENT, OPENING YOUR HOME UP TO THE ANIMAL, PROVIDING HIM OR HER FOOD AND SHELTER, ATTENDING ADOPTION EVENTS, AND HELPING YOUR DOG OR CAT FIND THE RIGHT HOME.VOLUNTEER PROGRAM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM: WITHOUT LUCKY DOG'S VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, THE ORGANIZATION COULD NOT OPERATE. WE CONTINUE TO OFFER MANY VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES THAT ALLOW PEOPLE TO SUPPORT THE ANIMALS FROM HOME AS WELL. THROUGHOUT 2023, VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZED ADOPTION EVENTS AND FUNDRAISERS, DRIVE DOGS FROM THE SHELTERS TO WASHINGTON D.C., TRANSPORT DOGS TO AND FROM ADOPTION EVENTS, HANDLE DOGS AT ADOPTION EVENTS, FOSTER DOGS, MAINTAIN THE WEBSITE, AND COMPLETE ALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE WORK THAT MAKES THE ORGANIZATION RUN. AT OUR SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE CAMPUS, VOLUNTEERS ASSIT WITH LAUNDRY, DOG WALKING, AND KENNEL CLEANING. IN 2023, LUCKY DOG ADDED MORE THAN 1,268 VOLUNTEERS TO ITS ROSTER, INCLUDING A NUMBER OF LUCKY DOG ADOPTERS WHICH IS A REAL TESTAMENT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE RESCUE.EDUCATION PROGRAM LUCKY DOG NOT ONLY STRIVES TO PLACE PETS IN LOVING FOREVER HOMES, WE ARE COMMITTED TO EDUCATING THE DC COMMUNITY ABOUT RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP. OUR VOLUNTEERS WORK VERY HARD TO EDUCATE NEW ADOPTERS ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER ADOPTIONG A DOG OR CAT, AS WELL AS PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT TO ADOPTERS AS THEY TRANSITION ANIMALS INTO THEIR HOMES. IN ADDITION, WE ADDED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO OUR WEBSITE ADDRESSING EVERYTHING FROM TRAINING TO NUTRITION TO COMMON VETERINARY AILMENTS. WITH THE OPENING OF OUR SOUTH CAROLINA RESCUE CAMPUS IN MARCH 2023, LUCKY DOG HAS BEGUN TO BRING SCHOOL GROUPS TO OUR PROPERTY TO LEARN ABOUT ANIMAL WELFARE.YOUTH PROGRAM LUCKY DOG WORKS HARD TO ENSURE THAT THE NEXT GENERATION OF PET OWNERS LEARN EARLY ABOUT THE VALUE OF ADOPTION, HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR DOGS AND CATS, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF VOLUNTEERISM.
