Due to a family emergency our nonprofit is temporarily closed.
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.
This program is for pet emergencies that require immediate veterinary care:
If your pet is in need of immediate care where any delay will put the animal at risk, it is your responsibility and duty to seek care for the pet immediately. DO NOT CALL US! Call your veterinarian. There is no guarantee that the fund will provide financial assistance.
Grants are not guaranteed and will not exceed $500 per pet, per household. Due to the large volume of applications we receive daily we cannot financially help everyone who applies for help.
Lucy the Rescue Dog Inc. does not approve applicants by phone or email. The only way an applicant can be eligible for a grant is to fill out our application. Please allow 24 hours for a reply via email. All grants are paid directly to the veterinary hospital providing treatment.

Today, June 1, 2020, is Lucy's six year adoptiversary! June 25, 2020 will be Lucy's 7th Birthday too! In the past we have held birthday fundraisers for Lucy, however, due the current COVID-19 crisis we are holding a Virtual fundraiser this year. Please join us and sign up below.
JOIN US! Pets 2 the Rescue is an annual national virtual 1 Mile or 5K run/walk or 5 mile bike event held to raise funds for more than 165 nonprofit animal shelters and animal welfare organizations across the United States. The event runs through June 15, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 crisis we have seen a decline in charitable donations, and these fundraising events help us support the animals in need of emergency veterinary care. Here's how it works: upon registration, Pets 2 the Rescue participants choose Lucy the Rescue Dog Inc. to receive 100% of their $10 registration fee. After participants run, walk or ride their chosen distance, they visit the Pets 2 the Rescue website pets2therescue.org or use the free race app to record their event time. Pets are encouraged to participate with their owners! Thank you in advance for your participation and help! Confirm you are participating on Facebook www.facebook.com/events/s/virtual-fundraiser/841541249582686/?ti-icl
