The Lucky Dog Foundation: Preventing Economic Euthanasia with Care When it Counts Most

No family should have to say goodbye to a treatable pet because of an unexpected vet bill.  The LDF works with clinics directly to preserve the human-animal bond in central Missouri. Together we can keep pets where they belong—at home.

Donate to help care for pets when it matters most.  The Lucky Dog Foundation helps to prevent economic euthanasia.  Because financial surprises shouldn't lead to a final goodbye. 

How Can I Help?

There are many animals in need of support.  WRVC works with local animal rescue groups to care for cats and dogs in our community.  Below are links to our friends in rescue with opportunities to volunteer and donate.  Every rescue I know is looking for volunteers!  The make a world of difference!

Jefferson City Animal Shelter 

Jefferson City Animal Shelter is a municipal rescue for JC animals.  They pride themselves on being an open adoption shelter, meaning that they can get more pets adopted without an onerous adoption process.  Studies have shown that open adoptions have increased placement, positive outcomes and decreases in euthanasia and behavioral problems.  JCAS needs both adoptive homes and volunteers for socializing and exercising pets, fundraising and marketing.
