Lucky Mutts : Austin, Texas
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.
  • Dogs are not euthanized because they are "hard to adopt".
  • Dogs are never returned to the shelter.
  • They work with local trainers and behaviorists to help make each one of their lucky mutts a well behaved, happy and healthy friend for life.
  • They make a commitment to find a good home for each dog that finds it's way to them.
  • They take the time to work with each animal to learn their quirks, personality and training needs.
  • They do not do same day adoptions and each animal gets to stay in a foster home until they feel they are ready for adoption.

Painted Pups - Erica Orr
She is a Katrina rescue who made her way to Austin & became a Lucky Mutt.

Animal Rescue is an effort to which I devote a great deal of time and energy, especially since my little muses (4 dogs, 4 ferrets) were all rescued from various circumstances. A portion of each commission I recieve from a painting goes to support an animal rescue organization.
