A local animal rescue group is working to give puppies a holiday present of their own; a home.
Today Lucky Puppy Dog Rescue & Kennel finished up their week-long food drive at Prosperity Bank in Lynn Haven and brought along a few VIP guests. Lucky Puppy Rescue is a non-profit organization that takes in puppies and adult dogs. They have a 100-acre farm in Bonifay where they keep the pups and train them to be good companions while they are waiting to be adopted. The rescue runs solely on private donations of money, food and other supplies for the animals.
“These dogs have no one else to care for them so it’s kind of a community thing we try to get help from others so we can do more for them,” says Teri Mattson with the rescue group.
If you missed the puppies today but are interested in adopting, Lucky Puppy Rescue will be at PetSmart on 23rd Street in Panama City Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
