Our Mission and Vision

Our Mission

At Once Lost Now Found Dog Rescue, our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs that have been abandoned, neglected, or lost. We are dedicated to providing each dog with the medical care, love, and attention they need to recover from their past, and to helping them find a forever family. Through our rescue efforts, we aim to make a lasting impact on the lives of dogs and the communities we serve by promoting responsible pet ownership, raising awareness about animal welfare, and creating a future where every dog has the opportunity to live a happy, healthy life.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a world where no dog is left behind. We aspire to be a leading force in animal rescue, setting an example for compassionate care, advocacy, and community engagement. We envision a future where all dogs—regardless of their past—can thrive in loving homes. Through our commitment to rescue and education, we hope to inspire a society that values the well-being of animals, fosters a culture of kindness, and works together to prevent animal cruelty and abandonment.

A fenced enclosure containing several dogs is seen in a somewhat dimly lit area. The structure is made of wire mesh and metal poles, with a corrugated metal roof. One section of the enclosure is shaded, casting shadows across the ground and the animals inside. Sunlight filters through the gaps, highlighting parts of the structure and the dogs.
