"First I was a volunteer at Lucky Dog Refuge. I gave some time to walk dogs. Walking dogs that had recently arrived, it was apparent to see how the staff and protocols were instrumental in calming the dogs and helping them look forward to some continuity in their daily lives. I was happy to become an adoptee and continue to support this refuge so that other dogs get the opportunity that it offers."

"We were not in the market for dog, rescue or otherwise. We were at a dog park in Stamford with my daughter and her designer pup. And then HE walked in. First day out with his foster mom, Becky with a blue adopt me sign on. I went over and that was it. He had the most soulful eyes and we bonded immediately. Becky and I chatted for a while, I learned his story--rescued in the South with his two brothers, in a shelter for 6 months while all 3 were treated for distemper and he had just come North that week. He still had some issues with heartworm, whatever. I didn't care. In the 2.5 years since we brought him home, he has added so much joy to our lives. He is gentle and sweet--never barks unless he thinks we are in danger. We renamed him Max because he is MAX-IN-A-MILLION. Love him so."

"This rescue is truly wonderful. I’ve been volunteering for a couple months now and It’s managed and run so seamlessly so that every dog gets lots of playtime and socialization with other dogs on the turf and a nice hour long walk with volunteers too every day. They open their doors to all types of dogs including ones that have physical ailments as well. The love they pour into their dogs is so evident by their ability to transform dogs from timid, shy and overwhelmed into confident, happy and affectionate dogs. They work tirelessly around the clock to ensure the well being and safety of their dogs and they truly deserve recognition for the tremendous work they have done in saving dogs lives."

"Hi! My daughter is a volunteer at Lucky Dog and she everyday tells me how sweet all dogs are, how well organized the shelter is, all the fun the dogs have having a walk, being pet or playing at their turf. Lucky Dog made hundreds of dogs and my daughter very happy."

"Lucky Dog refuge has impressed me for many reasons but it stands out because how well organized they are. It's a well-oiled machine. They make sure volunteering is easy and safe for all dogs. They state rules to keep dogs safe, we sign up online so they keep track of all walks. The schedule is extremely wide and flexible to fit all availability. They are located in the perfect place because the dogs get to play on the turf by the water or have a relaxing walk around the harbor in the newest and nicest part of Stamford. Stuff members always say thank you to all volunteers after each walk. Dogs are up to date with vaccines, medications and are also trained. They do an amazing job on Instagram. How they advertise each adoptable dog is perfect because on top of the description, they mention how the perfect home and owner look like for each on of them. They make sure that every dog goes to someone that is a perfect fit. They reach many people through their posts and we're all excited to see their next one. They also use the platform to show all the fun they have, advertise lost dog calls, and mention what things are the most in need so we can donate and they can keep doing the amazing job they do. We're very grateful for Lucky dog!!"

"Lucky dog is an unbelievable rescue. They take on challenging, expensive medical cases and pull dogs from dire situations without a second thought. They saved my Marvin, a 70 lb boxer, Great Pyrenees mix that needed orthopedic surgery for a broken leg. They ensure the dogs in their care have routine, are exercised and socialized properly, and they go the extra mile when it comes to getting professional training in order to get their dogs adopted. I recommend them to everyone I know. They are fantastic!"

"I cannot say enough great things about Lucky Dog refuge. They are an incredible organization that help so many dogs from all walks of life. They truly care deeply for every dog that crosses their path. I started my journey with LDR by volunteering and then, I was lucky enough to adopt one of their dogs and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My dog (Rory) still gets so excited if we stop by LDR or pass them in Stamford on a walk! You can immediately tell that Rory loves them deeply because of how well they took care of him during his time at LDR."

"They’re the best, we adopted a great dog from them and they have really gone above and beyond to be there for us whenever we have any questions as first time pup parents. They do amazing things for dogs in need and seek out unique situations where they are able to save pups others may not be equipped too. Beyond operating an incredible rescue they also put on awesome events that help bring together the broader local community. Really can’t say enough good things about Lucky Dog!"

Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!
Do you have a water-loving dog looking to burn some energy? There are countless dog parks to visit throughout our country — but some of them become far too hot in the midday sun to be safe for your pets to play. That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the best dog water parks throughout the United States! At these locations, your pup can frolic, splash, and swim to their heart’s content.

Does your dog destroy every toy you give them? Is your house littered with remnants of fabric and stuffing of all different sizes? Are you tired of investing in “indestructible” toys only for your pup to still dismantle—or worse, get bored of—them in just a few days?
You’ve been told your dog needs regular exercise. There’s a reason “walking the dog” is a classic daily activity: Frequent excursions give your pup a chance to experience the world, maintain a healthy weight, and — most importantly — spend time with you! Consistent physical activity can also improve their strength, muscle tone, coordination, and mental ability over time.

Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (like a car or bike) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling feels embarrassing for you — and it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
Do you have a reactive dog or suspect you may have one? You’re not alone!

From 2009 to 2020, there was a 40 percent increase in the development of public dog parks. Designated spots for canine exercise have become commonplace in every major city in North America — many pet owners won’t even consider renting an apartment that doesn’t have its own fenced-in pet area for their canine companions.
Thousand Oaks, California has been a safe haven for Sniffspot host, Jen, since childhood. Having grown up in busy Santa Barbara, Jen, an introvert from an early age, would seek out solitude and serenity away from tourists attractions and droves of people visiting from elsewhere. “My grandparents own 60 acres about a 30 minute drive from here, and I grew up spending every summer and every holiday visiting them on the ranch,” Jen explained. “In Santa Barbara, we wouldn't go to the beach on the weekend because that's where everybody was, so you'd find places off the beaten path where the tourists weren't. For me, the ranch was just my happy place.”

Just 20 minutes outside of the busy city of Portland, Oregon, and settled right on the banks of the Columbia River, you’ll find what countless visitors have flocked to the area in search of – mountain views, crisp, clean air, and running water for miles. What you might not expect to find, however, is a hidden oasis designed just for dogs and their people, owned and operated by a farming couple and enjoyed by visitors on two legs, and four.
