Lucky Mutts is a non profit organization with the foremost goal of being a premier canine advocacy group in the Austin and surrounding areas. The group realizes that rescuing single dogs will never make an impact on the plight of the species as a whole. To reduce the number of abandoned and unwanted animals, Lucky Mutts strives to educate the public about responsible dog ownership.

This goal is approached by several avenues:

• Public education through specialized programs geared toward different demographics
• Active participation in legislation concerning our canine companions
• Producing prime examples of how responsible dog ownership creates well adjusted animals that are an asset to the community
  • We partner with organizations to provide service, therapy, search and rescue, and police dogs
  • We adopt dogs that are excellent examples of our program to the general public
    

Each lucky mutt is a learning opportunity, not a number.

• We make a commitment to all of the lucky mutts in our program until they find a great home.
• Dogs are not euthanized because they are "hard to adopt".
• Dogs are never returned to the shelter.

How we do this:

1. We work with local trainers and behaviorists with to help make each one of our lucky mutts a well behaved, happy and healthy friend for life.
2. We make a commitment to find a good home for each dog that finds it's way to us.
3. We take the time to work with each animal to learn their quirks, personality and training needs.
4. We do not do same day adoptions and each animal gets to stay in a foster home until we feel they are ready for adoption.
