About Us
About Lucky Paws Rescue
We’re Randy and Christa, founders of Lucky Paws Rescue—and this started with one simple reality: we couldn’t look the other way.
When we moved from Pennsylvania to South Carolina, we were shocked by the number of stray and feral animals. Dogs roaming freely. Entire colonies of cats struggling to survive.
It wasn’t something we could ignore.
So we stepped in.
What started as fostering quickly turned into something much bigger. We saw firsthand how many animals just needed a safe place, proper care, and a second chance.
That’s why we founded Lucky Paws Rescue.
Our Mission
Lucky Paws Rescue is a foster-based dog rescue in Sumter, South Carolina dedicated to saving dogs in need and placing them in safe, loving, permanent homes.
Every dog that comes into our care:
-
Lives in a foster home—not a kennel
-
Receives proper veterinary care
-
Is given the time, attention, and love they deserve
We don’t just rescue dogs—we prepare them for their next chapter.
Why It Matters
There are still far too many animals without homes.
We’re committed to being part of the solution by:
-
Promoting spay and neuter programs
-
Educating the community on responsible pet ownership
-
Helping reduce the number of homeless animals in our area
Every dog we save matters. Every life counts.
Our Focus Right Now
To continue growing and saving more dogs, we are focused on:
-
🏡 Expanding our foster network
-
💰 Raising funds for medical care and supplies

🐶 Placing dogs into the right forever homes
