Mission Statement
The Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation (LDCRF), a 501 c (3) non-profit organization, is a highly dedicated group of volunteers that rescues abandoned or displaced dogs and cats from the threat of euthanasia by area shelters or other at-risk situations. Once in our care, these companion animals are fully vaccinated and spayed or neutered. Since its founding in 2001, over 45,000 animals' lives have been saved by finding them loving homes.
Description
What Does Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Do?
