Yesterday, we had the privilege of joining the annual Catherine Violet Hubbard Butterfly Party, a day dedicated to kindness, compassion, and celebrating the human-animal bond. šŸ¦‹šŸ’œ

The mission of the ā€”to create a more compassionate world for animalsā€”beautifully aligns with our own mission at Lucky Dog Refuge. Together, weā€™re working to ensure every animal is given the love, care, and second chance they deserve.

We had a wonderful time connecting with families, sharing the importance of rescue, and introducing some of our adoptable dogs to the community. Skylar even attended with her foster mom and had the opportunity to meet some potential adopters!

Weā€™re grateful to partner with organizations like Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary that are making a lasting impact in animal welfare and rescue. Thank you for including us in such a special day.

šŸ’œ If youā€™d like to support both of our missions, weā€™ve created a special t-shirt in honor of this partnership. Grab yours at the link below!

This week we committed more than $15,000 in unexpected medical care for two Connecticut dogs who desperately needed help.

We didnā€™t budget for these cases. We didnā€™t know how we would pay for them.

But when the calls came, we couldnā€™t say no.

ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ Perdy is a Dalmatian who was surrendered after wounds from another dog became severely infected and necrotic. By the time she arrived at Shoreline Animal Hospital, her condition was critical. Her medical team wasnā€™t sure if she would survive, but they fought for herā€”and so did we. Perdy is now recovering, but her journey is far from over.

ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ Mellow is just a puppy.

A Good Samaritan learned she was being abused and made the courageous decision to speak up. That call led to volunteers from stepping in to get Mellow to safety. When they saw her conditionā€”severely emaciated, covered in wounds consistent with trauma, and in urgent need of medical attentionā€”she immediately called Lucky Dog.

Together, we rushed Mellow to VREC in Norwalk, where veterinarians began treating her for malnutrition, inflammation, anemia, and extensive wounds. Today, she is safe in foster care and finally getting the care she deserves.

Mellowā€™s story is a reminder that animal cruelty isnā€™t something that happens somewhere else. Itā€™s happening right here in Connecticut.

Animal cruelty is not an isolated issue. Study after study has shown a connection between violence toward animals and violence toward people. Thatā€™s why speaking up matters.

Every dollar donated will go directly toward the medical care, recovery, and rehabilitation of Perdy, Mellow, and the other dogs who depend on us.

DATING PAWFILES VOLUME 23

Name: Kingston
Age: 6 months
Hometown: Waterbury, CT
Current Residence: Stamford, CT (Lucky Dog Refuge)
Time at Current Residence: 1 month
Preferences: unsure of preferences but so far doing well with all dogs and humans and can be cat tested if needed
Interests:
āœØ going out on walks to see everything this world has to offer. Who knew pup cups exist?!?! Best invention ever
āœØgetting all the attention and lovins from the staff and volunteers
Background:
Hi, Iā€™m Kingston, and I have a confessionā€¦

For the first part of my life, I thought the whole world was a tiny travel crate.

My sister Kimber and I lived together in one small crate, surviving on the occasional handful of cat food and not much else. We didnā€™t know toys, soft beds, belly rubs, treats, or even what it felt like to run around and just be puppies.

Thankfully, a Good Samaritan saw what was happening and spoke up for us. That one act of kindness changed everything.

Now Iā€™m living at Lucky Dog Refuge, and let me tell youā€¦ Iā€™ve learned a few things.

1. The world is WAY bigger than a crate.
2. Humans are actually pretty awesome.
3. Running zoomies with my sister and puppy friends is one of lifeā€™s greatest joys.
4. Dog food is infinitely better than cat food. Trust me, Iā€™m basically a food critic at this point.

Every day Iā€™m discovering something new. A new friend. A new toy. A new reason to wag my tail. Iā€™m still learning that the world is a safe place, but Iā€™m getting braver and more confident with every adventure.

What I really want now is a family of my own. Someone to show me that my past doesnā€™t define me and that all the love Iā€™ve missed out on was just waiting for me.

Iā€™ve already survived the hard part. Now Iā€™m ready for the happy ending šŸ’™

P.S. While I absolutely adore my sister Kimber, we will not be adopted together to help prevent littermate syndrome

Weā€™re excited to share the video we submitted for the 2026 Defender Service Awards presented by landrover and .

Every day, our team transports dogs to safety, veterinary specialists, foster homes, adoption events, and everything in between. Reliable transportation is critical to our mission, and a Defender 130 would help us reach more dogs and serve our community in even bigger ways.

The Defender Service Awards team is currently reviewing applications and selecting finalists. Finalists will be announced on July 29, and thatā€™s when public voting begins!

No matter the outcome, weā€™re proud to share the story of Lucky Dog Refuge, our staff and volunteers, and the incredible dogs who inspire us every day.

Happy Birthday to Yenifer! šŸŽ‰šŸ¾

Every rescue needs someone who can do it all, and that's Yen. She's creative, funny, hardworking, professional, and somehow still manages to make everyone around her smile...especially the dogs!

The dogs love her for good reason. Whether she's helping a nervous new arrival settle in, making volunteers feel welcome, or spoiling pups with extra attention, Yen has a way of making every dog feel safe, loved, and understood.

Lucky Dog is a better place because of her hardwork and dedication. We are so grateful for everything she does behind the scenes and for the countless lives she's helped change along the way.

Please join us in wishing Yen the happiest of birthdays! We hope the year ahead is filled with adventure, laughter, success, and plenty of dog snuggles. ā¤ļøšŸ¶šŸŽ‚

Sometimes the dogs who break your heart the most are the ones who did nothing wrong.

Angel is a 7-year-old local intake whose world was turned upside down when his owner passed away. Through no fault of his own, he suddenly found himself without the home, routine, and person he loved.

Since arriving at Lucky Dog Refuge, Angel has quickly become a staff and volunteer favorite. Heā€™s gentle, crate trained, affectionate, and loves people.

He has been getting lots of attention from our team, but the truth is that Angel misses having a home. He misses the comfort of a couch, a familiar routine, and being someoneā€™s best friend.

Angel has never lived with super young children, so weā€™re looking for a home with kids 13+ that best matches the lifestyle and environment heā€™s known throughout his life.

As a rescue, weā€™re proud to help dogs from our own Fairfield County community when families face heartbreaking circumstances like this. Angelā€™s story is one that could happen to any of us, and weā€™re committed to making sure he gets the second chapter he deserves.

If youā€™re looking for a loyal, loving companion, Angel may be your perfect match.

DATING PAWFILES VOLUME 22

Name: Evita
Age: about 7 months
Hometown: Mississippi
Current Residence: Stamford, CT (Lucky Dog Refuge)
Time at Current Residence: 3 months
Preferences: loves dogs and allllll the attention from her humans and can be cat tested
Interests:
āœØ sun bathing anytime I get the chance
āœØlaying in the humans laps who come to play with me and steal all the pets
Background:
Hi, Iā€™m Evita. šŸ’šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøāœØ

Yes, my sister Frida got adopted already. And yes, sheā€™s adorable. But letā€™s be honestā€¦ Iā€™m the personality hire.

Iā€™m 7 months old, originally from Mississippi, and currently accepting applications for my forever family through Lucky Dog Refuge. My hobbies include:
ā€¢ serving face for the camera šŸ“ø
ā€¢ causing adorable chaos on the turf with my puppy friends šŸ¾
ā€¢ stealing the hearts of every volunteer and staff member I meet ā¤ļø
ā€¢ being the perfect mix of spunky, sweet, and just the right amount of sass

People keep saying I have the ā€œperfect energy,ā€ which I think means Iā€™m fun enough to keep you entertained but cute enough to get away with everything.

I may have watched my sister leave for her forever home, but I know my people are out there too. Preferably someone who appreciates a confident queen with great ears and unmatched camera presence.

Soā€¦ are you coming to meet me or what? šŸ’…

Happy from Heremy! A spitfire with boundless energy, Heremy arrived to Lucky Dog Refuge in February and has been waiting for a home since. He was found in West Virginia/Kentucky all alone and joined our reindeer crew to get that much needed socialization, loving and sibling interaction that puppies need. Heremy is ready for his own family now though. He is a dog who would greatly benefit from someone who enjoys training. If you like working on new skills and understands consistent, dedicated time is needed to mold a perfect dog then Heremy is for you. He is incredibly food motivated and starting to look to his handler for guidance in situations he is unsure of (every day is a work in progress!). Heremy loves other dogs, is a water bug and hasnā€™t met a stranger. He loves to play, explore new places and get lots of scratches. About 10 months old, fully vetted and ready to go home, apply now to meet him! Heremy would do best in most homes with dog experience and no cats.
