Events

Last Day Dog Rescue events are a fun way to get to know the other volunteers and dogs in your area! After you join LDDR you can RSVP to events you can attend. This is perfect for LDDR fosters and volunteers who want to know about upcoming adoption events they can bring their foster dogs to or help by transporting a dog. Our volunteers handle dogs at the events, sharing their attributes with potential adopters. What better way to get a doggie fix? All it takes is a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Foster

Becoming a foster, allows you to experience the true joy of saving a life, and to meet some wonderful dogs, each with their own personality and traits. LDDR provides food, vetting, and general expenses for each foster dog. Each new foster will be assigned a LDDR Mentor that helps them through the process, from picking up your new foster at transport, through to the adoption.

How you help

Last Day Dog Rescue is a 100% volunteer rescue. We have no paid staff; all areas of our rescue are handled by volunteers which includes our officers, board, and team leaders.
About us

To us, Last Day is more than just a name; it is a situation that all of our animals are faced with. We are a no-kill animal rescue based in Livonia, Michigan, with foster volunteers located all over the state of Michigan. By foster, we mean that there are loving people who willingly take in these beautiful transient creatures and do their very best to provide them with safety, security and love. While we openly take in puppies and dogs who are in good shape, our focus is on saving those who are most likely to be thrown away, abandoned and unloved. This organization was founded on the principle that all life is precious and should be given the chance to be loved, cherished and cared for.
