Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Leonberger and Leonberger mixes that are unwanted, abandoned or abused. Educate shelters, other rescue organizations and individuals about the Leonberger breed.

We leverage social media, Leonberger mailing lists and networking with shelters and other rescue organizations to spread the word about our organization and what we do. The overall Leonberger community is another great source as our information is spread through their individual social media channels, as well. We, also, maintain a dedicated website for our organization. www.lrpals.org

Our volunteer staff and board of directors split up duties to monitor sites like PetFinder to ensure we are finding as many Leonbergers and Leonberger mixes as possible and contacting to offer our assistance. To meet our mission, we require donations and we utilize our very dedicated Leonberger community to meet our donation needs through fundraisers and direct pleas for large projects such as a puppy/dog mill situation. We continually network with other rescue organizations and shelters to ensure we are known far and wide. Every volunteer, regardless of "position" plays a role to ensure we are meeting our goals.

We have taken in many Leonbergers and Leonberger mixes. Educated shelters, other rescue organizations and individuals about the Leonberger breed. Assisted individuals to evaluate training needs of a Leonberger or Leonberger mix to ensure their dog could successfully remain with them rather than being re-homed. We must not let down our guard and continue to network far and wide to ensure we are known across the United States as the go to rescue for Leonbergers and Leonberger mixes to ensure no dog is left without an appropriate forever home and those considering a Leonberger or Leonberger mix are educated on the breed and what it takes to successfully provide a forever home.
