To My Lucky Dog Family,

This week has been a crazy week -- and it's only Wednesday! As you may know, we spent Labor day coordinating a last minute transport for nineteen dogs evacuating from the path of Hurricane Dorian. Now, a nineteen dog transport may sound like old hat for Lucky Dog, but consider this:

• We did not know there was a possibility of a transport until 10pm on Sunday.
• Because we have no shelter or facility of our own, all the animals on the van needed a confirmed place to go by 6am Monday when the van departed. That's less than 12 hours to find placement for 19 animals!
• Included in this group were ten adults and two litters of puppies.
• We organized live coverage with two news stations and coordinated 3 radio interviews.
• MOST IMPORTANTLY, we got 19 dogs to safety and created space at the shelter for those evacuating from the coastal areas to have a safe place for their pets to go.

Being able to turn on a dime. Respond to whatever comes up. Jump into action when there are animals in need. This is what Lucky Dog is all about. It is what makes us unique. What makes us Lucky Dog.

What's even more amazing is that we are not done yet! Even knowing that the storm is headed towards South Carolina, a team of Lucky Dog volunteers is headed down to Florence even as you read this email. We're headed down to make sure they have what they need. To assist in any way we can, and to bring back another van full of animals once the storm passes.

Because Team South Carolina is family. And, Lucky Dog takes care of our family.

We are so appreciative of the support we have received thus far. If you want to help with our Hurricane Relief efforts, please consider a donation today. Any amount helps!

Thank you on behalf of all our Lucky Dogs and Cats!
