One Lucky Pup is our signature rescue, rehabilitation and adoption program. While we emphasize pit bull rescue, we accept all breeds and focus heavily on dogs facing extraordinary challenges such as extensive emergency veterinary care/surgery, breed discrimination and those languishing in municipal shelters. Our experiences in the rescue trenches have given us keen insight into understanding the challenges of animal welfare. We do not agree with the board-and-hoard mentality and because of this we keep our program small, with typically less than 15 dogs at a time.
We put an intensive amount of attention into each dog, evaluating their needs extensively in order to determine their best home. This individualized plan of care enhances the adoption process and makes less room for negative variables to occur post-adoption. For our special needs cases, a care plan involving surgery, rehabilitation and/or extensive training can cost thousands. To apply to adopt one of our dogs click HERE to submit an online form. Our adoption fee is $500.00 and helps us cover the costs of vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchips and foster care costs, at a minimum.
