Lucky Star Cavalier Rescue

Within the past week, Lucky Star has taken in 9 dogs, all with expensive, serious medical needs. Six of these dogs must be quarantined for one month and treated for ringworm. Boarding and treatment for six dogs for 30 days in addition to spay/neuter, exams, vaccinations, etc.. is very expensive. Three seniors, over the age of 10+ years came to us with medical conditions including hearts, knees, hip dysplasia, seizures, overgrown nails requiring surgery to remove, serious dental needs and overall neglect.

The public perception and trust of rescues has been damaged over the past 8 months and so has our ability to raise funds to help these dogs. Lucky Star is a small rescue and we continue our original mission. Our focus has not changed. We continue to take the sickest and those with the greatest need and we need your help with donations so we can provide the best possible medical care for these dogs. The amount of money that we spend on every rescue far exceeds our adoption fees because we take those who are turned away by other rescues in favor of younger, healthy dogs. Over 60% of our rescues are seniors.

Willie, Teller and Beau are the 3 seniors we took in this week in neglected condition who will need long-term medical care. They may or may not be adoptable due to those conditions but Lucky Star is committed to taking care of them. Please help us with a donation so we do not have to turn away boys like these who desperately need us. Donations can be made through PayPal on our web site (http://lscr.rescuegroups.org/info/donate/) or by mailing a check to Lucky Star Cavalier Rescue, P.O. Box 7054, Carmel, CA 93921. You donation IS tax deductible.

I would like to extend a special thank you to the volunteers who traveled long distances and many hours to transport these dogs to safety and to the staff and vet at our veterinary partner in TN for always being available to us so we can help these special dogs. Thank you to those who work behind the scenes, asking for nothing in return except for the gratitude seen in the eyes of a rescued dog.

We greatly appreciate all of your help and support.
Thank you, Mary Coyne, President, Lucky Star Cavalier Rescue.

Lucky Star has been contacted to take several English Toy Spaniels from a hoarding situation. The location is TN and they will receive their veterinary care in Knoxville. We are in need of foster homes for these dogs, hoping to keep the travel within 3 hours of Knoxville. If you have already completed a foster application or fostered for us in the past, please contact me directly to let me know if you are available to foster and your location. If you have not fostered and would like to, please fill out the foster application on our website. A fenced yard (physical fence, not invisible fence) is required for unsocialized dogs like these to ensure their safety. Rescues are also more comfortable in homes with other dogs.

Dr Hickey and her staff do amazing work , getting these rescues cleaned up and into better physical condition. We cannot rescue dogs like these without the help of volunteers and foster homes so please reach into your heart and consider helping us.
Thank you.
