Lucky K9 Rescue, places dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs in the greatest need take priority. We are determined to keep administrative expenses extremely low so that virtually every dollar taken in goes directly to the care of the animals. Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the dog beyond the adoption process. Finally, we strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.

Shelter Friends is a nonprofit organization established to promote the health and welfare of homeless animals in St. Charles, MO. We are not a rescue group; we are a shelter assistance and networking group whose purpose is to help homeless animals located in animal control to escape euthanasia by finding rescue or adoption. We help care for the animals at the shelter, take them to and from vet appointments, assist with funds for vetting, and network the animals through email and social media to help find homes or rescue.
