Our Story
"Through the looking glass, things are not as they appear to be." - Lewis Carroll
MEET JODY, the founder
I believe in second chances.
A perspective that strongly aligns with animal rescue, though it can be harder to apply to people. Just as many animals face hardship through no fault of their own, we encounter life-changing events that shift our perspectives. These experiences encourage us to replace judgment with hope, uncovering the potential for renewal in both ourselves and the creatures we aim to save. By embracing second chances, we cultivate compassion and remind ourselves that every life is worthy of love and opportunity.
Vision
Create a world where no companion animals are euthanized for lack of a home.
Mission
Saving the sick, injured, overlooked, and forgotten.
Values
Authenticity, transparency, compassion, integrity and self-awareness
WHY WE CARE
We see something deeper
We see beyond the surface. Just as we believe that a person shouldn’t be judged by their appearance, we hold that animals shouldn’t be judged by their breed or condition. Every creature, regardless of their circumstances, possesses intrinsic worth and beauty. We want people to recognize the unique charm in every animal, especially those who are injured, elderly, or otherwise perceived less than perfect. There are countless animals in need of love and care, and it is our mission to help others see the value in each and every one of them.
What we do
A new life for the overlooked
This truth is especially evident when we consider the dogs and cats in municipal shelters who are ragged, neglected, sick, injured, or facing behavioral challenges. Yet, if we look beyond their current conditions, we see potential—an individual waiting to be recognized and nurtured back to health. At LGAR, we focus on transforming the lives of these overlooked animals. We see them not for who they are today, but for who they can become tomorrow. We are committed to providing the resources and care necessary to elevate their possibilities and help them thrive.
