Meet the pack...

Short Bus, doesn't know he's "special. His enthusiasm and charm earned him "Best Dog Trick" at a big festival where he competed against professional trick dogs. 

Little Boy has found confidence being part of a pack. He'll be a lifetime sanctuary resident so he can continue to receive immune-boosting care. 

Surgery by a talented vet, lots of training, and tons of exercise have helped Moo become a healthy and happy pack member. She has a never-ending zest for life. 

Piper was an unusual kitten with a big appetite, so we took on the challenge of providing her a safe and happy home for life. Piper is the sweetest cat one could imagine. 

When switched to a raw diet, Vido blossomed into a  beautiful cat. We failed to find an adopter willing to continue his diet, so we took him on as a lifetime resident. 

Previous adopters gave up on her, but that's not because she was a bad dog. She just needed a job. She's been trained as a service dog and is the self-appointed "Cat Tattler".

Mama is a behavior rescue who can't be trusted around dogs, cats (other than her son) or non-vigilant humans. She sunburns easily, too, so she couoldn't be a catio-cat. 

We felt the kindest thing we could do for Mama (who would've had to live in solitary confinement) was to let her keep her baby who also needs an indoor environment.  

This little darling is a survivor.  He prefers the company of dogs to people, though he's gradually come to be affectionate with select humans.  He's a wonderful work in progress. 

Lobita lacked early socialization. She isn't comfortable without a strong leader to properly introduce her to new situations and a pack to boost her confidence.

This little muffin wags her tail so quickly we think she's part rattlesnake. She is a lap-loving diva who doesn't prefer to share her human with other pets. Mama wants to be fostered by a holistically-minded, dog-savvy  dog lover in La Jolla. She mustcontinue her care at her vet in La Jolla, CA.  

Clyde is a behavior rescue who is a lovely guardian for the smaller pets. 

Naturally-reared "Big Twin" is available to a conscientious, holistically-minded, long-term foster with a cat-safe (low-toxin, fragrance free) home and catio who can provide 3 raw meals (plus detox supplements) daily. Initially shy, he warms up to become a big cuddle bug who hates being alone. Other than one serious allergic response  (to a bee/insect, we assume) he's been purrfectly healthy. He will discipline dogs 

The "twins" are very energetic and smart.  They love to purr and snuggle with eachother and people.  Foster will be required to drop off poop from each of them about once a month (see "Little Twin's bio). 

This baby will be staying in sanctuary unless  an ideal adopter will like to take he and his brother home as a pair. He has a big appetite and needs a more controlled environment than his brother.  He's about 11 pounds and his brother about 14lbs.

They could be available for rehoming to natural-rearing sponsors who will continue to raise them as part of the luckydog family and deliver their stool as needed for fecal transplant research. Cost to maintain them: Insurance approx. $60/mo, food approx. $240/mo.

Sonic has earned his keep by being uber-sweet to the resident kitties. He is the only bigger pack member who can be left alone with  cats to protect them from coyotes. He has provided much-needed companionship to boogkitty who spends most of his time in solitary confinement due to aggression towards other cats and spraying. Watching them kiss and cuddle warms our hearts. 

Due to the number of special-care sanctuary residents, we're cutting down a lot on adoptable fosters and may not have any posted on adoptapet. If you want adopt a holistic pet, please reach out to    BrightHaven.  

Luckydog's typical adoption fees are as follows:  

Conventionally-raised cats/kittens $99-199 Conventionally-raised Puppies $199-399 Conventionally-raised Dogs $99-299  

Holistically-raised pet $299 to $599  

Fees for holistically-raised pets are higher bcause it costs  more to feed them, we keep them longer, and we put extra handling into them. We do this becauase we know the holistically-minded adopter appreciates a well-rounded pet and will continue the level of care we provide.
