Welcome to Lora’s Luck Dog Rescue, Foster and Adoption Service. DO NOT SCROLL PAST THIS.
Please read ALL of the following BEFORE you contact us or comment on albums and videos! This info is for people applying to be adopters, fosters or Lora's Luck Team Members 🙂
.
Facebook is reducing ALL functions of pages and messenger to ‘European’ or 'EEA’ settings. So we are shifting platforms and FB Messenger will NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE AS FIRST POINT OF CONTACT, so it will STAY OFF. FIRST CONTACT must now be to lorasqueries@outlook.com where we will do the initial assessment, If you pass that we will send you an invitation to Skype so you can continue your application in a private and secure Skype chat and have your house check on a private and secure Skype video call.
.
DO NOT PM our volunteers! Especially out of hours! It is against our privacy policy and is also really rude.
.
We are entirely non profit and rely 100% on donations.
.
Note
-We are also looking for new applications from fosters and page admins (must go through the same rules, process, vetting and house check process as adopters). Previous adopters are also welcome to apply as an admin- message the page or use or special new admin email lorasqueries@outlook.com to request the Admin Roles document for training and descriptions.
.
2021 OPENING HOURS for OUR EMAIL, SKYPE and the WEBSITE for queries and aftercare:
MON THURS FRI SAT 12am-12pm.
.
MISSION STATEMENT:
Our main focus are the black dogs, who are so often overlooked at rescues and shelters. If we can name them (£1 a name, which goes into a draw to get them named and funded) we can SAVE them! NO NAME = NO CHANCE TO LIVE.
We rescue the dogs and cats OURSELVES, with the aid of a team across the UK, Romania and Serbia. These dogs are ONLY available here and the website, and NOT on any selling site.
If you want us to foster a dog for you in the UK first it costs £45 a month, and £30 a month for cats for up to 3 months as they decompress (for equipment, insurance and other legal costs) plus food costs which vary due to animal size, payable in advance after a successful house check. We advise all first time dog and cat owners, and people with kids and other dogs/cats unless they were brought up with dogs/cats to go for this option to ensure a successful adoption but a foster will not be arranged (subject to availability) until AFTER A SUCCESSFUL HOUSE CHECK..
We also straight adopt from fosters and our small rescues in Romania and Serbia to experienced adopters ONLY.
We offer RBU, house checks and an online support service for all adopters.
.
House checks do cost us time and are done by experienced LL team members. But one in four house checks fail, due to timewasters. Our checkers spend a minimum of three hours on your check and it usually follows at least a week of consultation in page PM to assess your suitability, all of which is done for free in our own time by volunteers, 12 hours a day 4 days a week. So we suggest a good will donation of £20 before a house check, once you have booked and had confirmation from us a date and time, to show you are serious.
So the rest is up to you! Help save a life today!
.
TO DONATE:
We have a PayPal email ONLY- DO NOT send adoption queries here: lorasluck@gmail.com
or
lorasluck.org/shop ) where we have Stripe, ApplePay and online banking options
Any donations gratefully received to help keep our dogs and cats healthy and adopt ready, and regular small monthly amounts would be super appreciated! Then we can plan properly to:
-get more dogs and cats ready to come to us
-get more dogs and cats out of the kill shelters, off the streets, and picked up from being dumped in the middle of nowhere and sponsored in the fosters and/or rescues so they can be treated and safe while we find fosterers and forever homes.
But why Lora’s Luck?
We are called Lora’s Luck as she was the girl who started all this off, and features in our photo and banner! Eleven years old, saved from a Romanian kill list, and never knew a home, with nobody showing her any interest as their forever dog… now she’s safe and happy at Lora’s Luck HQ
This page will provide
news and updates of new arrivals and adopted success stories,
LOTS of DOG PICS and VIDEOS- more than any other FB rescue page,
drives for funds
and of course, when the BIG DAY comes and they find their home for life!
.
From October 2021 there will also be Lora's Cats available to adopt. Like with the dogs, we will focus on the black ones but will never split a mixed coloured litter, just the same as with the dogs.
This is our Lora's Cats blog, which we recommend you read lorasluck.org/.../what-is-decompression-and-how... .
We also have two GROUPS and another PAGE which are currently unaffected by FB changes/updates
-one CLOSED for all fosters, adopters and the trusted rescues we work with (for data protection) that we are splitting into regional groups. These are the groups created so far:

-one PUBLIC for fundraising.
www.facebook.com/groups/lorasauntiesanduncles please do not ask to join this group unless you have donated, are a regular donor (Auntie or Uncle) or are about to donate! Anyone joining who doesn't donate will be removed.
-and one PUBLIC Community Store, where Lora's Luck Full Members can list their products and services for free!
www.facebook.com/ForLorasLuck
We are also developing regional support network on FB to help adopters past and present get the best possible aftercare!
.
We call our donors Aunties and Uncles, and would love to hear from more sponsors for our pups. We run raffles, auction and sell items, run name draws and much more to help our pups in need.
Donations are as low as £1 (to put a name in a pup's draw), £2 or a minimum £3 for a 'ticket' that goes to vaccines, food, neutering and spaying, microchips- and donations of food, toys, treats, blankets and medicines we send out to our fosters and associated small rescues in Romania and Serbia. We keep the donations low so everyone can help out, no matter what their income. You can also sponsor a dog (12 tickets a month) or cat (10 tickets a month) while still in Romania or Serbia but this is NOT a reserve to adopt. (You can apply for the pup if you think you're a good fit of course and if you pass the process then that dog or cat comes home to you!)
.
In the pics below are dogs available to adopt, or needing a name so we can care for them and get them ready to adopt, which we update regularly. ALL have videos and photo albums, and can be found in the page menu.
