Sponsorship Information

Changing the World, One Animal at a Time

Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation (LDCRF), a 501 c (3) non-profit organization created in 2001, is a highly dedicated group of volunteers that rescues abandoned or displaced dogs and cats from the threat of euthanasia by area shelters or other at-risk situations. Since the creation of the foundation, 10,000 dog and cat lives have been saved by LDCRF’s rescue and rehabilitation efforts. Each and every one of our cats and dogs are properly vetted and spayed or neutered before being put up for adoption. Each weekend, LDCRF conducts adoption events at pet supply stores in the DC-metro area. Volunteers interview and educate prospective adopters on the importance of proper veterinary care, nutrition, exercise, and obedience training to ensure a successful adoption for everyone involved. Unlike many capital area rescue leagues, LDCRF promotes same day adoptions and processing so families can bring their new member into their home immediately.

Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation currently operates on-site adoption events in Fairfax, Leesburg, Arlington and Manassas, VA

The K9-Karnival –October 11, 2008

Each Year, LDCRF hosts a K9 Karnival, inviting pets from the greater DC metro area to spend an afternoon playing canine games, competing in contests, and paddling away in a securely fenced pond. This year, the Karnival is on October 11, 2008 beginning at 11 am and ending at 3 pm.

The Karnival is held on the 23 acre Three Dog Farm in Purcellville, VA and attracts approximately 300 dogs and their owners. The Farm is completely enclosed so that no dog can escape. The farm property includes a 5-acre pond where dogs can swim, splash, and cool off after taking part in the land activities. Pet exhibitors and a concessions stand are on hand, satiating and entertaining pets and people alike.
