BAXTER IS LOST - CLEVELAND PARK/CHEVY CHASE, DC!
Baxter is a 30 lb yellow lab mix, a rescue from South Carolina on his way to a new home in New Jersey. Baxter ran from his overnight foster home right before the storm and his foster mom is frantic! If you see Baxter, please call the number below - DO NOT CHASE HIM! He is scared and nervous, chasing him will only force him to run further away.
DON’T CHASE - PLEASE CALL: 202-494-3820 or 703-629-3681

Poor little Dexter has had a rough start to his holiday season!
This sweet, gentle little shih tzu mix escaped a rural shelter and was brought to DC to find his forever home. Unfortunately he was attacked by another dog shortly after his arrival and landed in a hospital with a broken jaw - one that required a very expensive surgery to repair.
Fortunately for Dexter, Lucky Dog Rescue made sure he received the care he needed to repair his jaw and he is expected to make a full recovery. YAY!
Please help turn Dexter’s luck around by making a donation to help pay for his medical bills or giving him a forever home.
Dexter is now resting and being nursed back to health in his foster home. His jaw is wired shut, but he is back to being his happy little self and looking for a loving lap to crawl into.

Lucky Dog is featured in this month’s 25th anniversary edition of Dogs USA in an article documenting how social networking sites, like Facebook and Twitter, have changed the face of dog rescue. The article highlights two Lucky Dog Volunteers, Victoria Polling, who found Lucky Dog and her first foster Apollo, through Save a Dog on Facebook, and Melanie Samet, who started working with Lucky Dog after finding us on Facebook!
Down Dog Yoga (www.downdogyoga.com) is generously donating all the proceeds from their special 2-hour Thanksgiving Day classes at each of their three yoga studios!!!
Down Dog Yoga was founded by Patty Ivey, a volunteer and foster parent for Lucky Dog. Patty and her husband, Scott, are big supporters of the rescue community. In fact, they are the proud parents of two rescue dogs and two rescue cats! On the day we all give thanks, Patty and Scott want to give something back to the community which has brought them so much, and Lucky Dog couldn’t be more thankful!
