LUCY THE RESCUE DOG INC.

Lucy the Rescue Dog Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. Lucy to the Rescue; We offer financial assistance grants to family owned pets in need of lifesaving emergency care whose caregivers cannot afford the full cost of treatment.

We are not licensed to handle animals. We do not have a shelter. We do not have animals for adoption.

At the current time, April 2022, we are experiencing a decrease in funding and therefore are unable to accept any new applications. We are run strictly on donations and they have decreased during the past two years, most likely because of COVID. We do have good news…there is another much larger organization helping pets of people experiencing homelessness or financial hardship.

Protect pets from harmful algae Summertime means more time outside, and you may be hitting the beach, lake, or river with your dog. Playtime in the water can be a great way to keep cool with your canine companion, but you should know that not all water is safe for dogs. If you’re visiting the ocean, a lake, river, or other body of water, look out for harmful blooms of algae and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). These blooms can sometimes cause harm to people and animals, including pets and livestock.

Know how to recognize algal blooms.
Blooms can look like foam, scum, mats, or paint on the surface of the water. A bloom can change the color of the water to green, blue, brown, red, or another color. People and animals can get sick if they:

Swim, wade, or play in or near contaminated water;
Eat contaminated fish or shellfish; or
Use contaminated drinking water.

If you see signs of a bloom, keep pets out of the water.
You cannot tell if a bloom is harmful by looking at it, so it is best to use caution and stay away. Do not fish, swim, boat, or play water sports in areas where there is possible harmful algae or cyanobacteria.

Do not go into or play in water that:

Smells bad
Looks discolored
Has foam, scum, algal mats, or paint-like streaks on the surface
Has dead fish or other animals washed up on its shore or beach

Protect pets and livestock.
Keep animals away from water with possible harmful algae or cyanobacteria. Pets and livestock can get sick and even die if they are exposed. If you are in a public setting, like a park or beach, look for signs about water quality that might be posted.

If you think there is an algal bloom, do not let animals:

Get in the water
Drink the water
Lick or eat mats of cyanobacteria or algae
Eat or graze near the water
Eat dead fish or other animals on the shore
Go on the beach or shoreline
