Here at Agatha's Lucky Paws, we have an important mission that is close to our hearts. They are those who are in Sanctuary. These animals can become Sanctuary animals for many different reasons. 

  • Long term animals that need rehabilitation or extensive training. 
  • Animals who have a long term recovery for an ailment.
  • Hospice for very aged or terminally ill animals. 
  • Animals unadoptable to the general public for safety, liability, or disability.


Many people want to know the best way to help out Sanctuary animals. There are a few ways that would help out the needs of the Sanctuary.

  • We are always in need of Pet Food. Sanctuary animals are with us to the very end and Pet Food is always something that is needed to keep them happy and healthy. Some of the Sanctuary animals need specialized foods.
  • Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention for Dogs/Cats. All of our Sanctuary animals are Indoor Only. Even so, dogs still need to go outside and they interact with Foster Dogs who go to the Dog Park and Events. Many of the cats also enjoy Screened in Pool/Patio areas to go bird and squirrel watching or just lay in the warm sun with other foster dogs or cats in their Sanctuary Homes. Its important to keep them on preventatives.
  • Dog and Cat Beds. Some of our Senior, Disabled, and Hospice animals benefit from Orthopedic beds that can help relieve pressure points and Raised beds for dogs who have a hard time getting off the floor.

  • Veterinary Care. Sanctuary animals often need the most medical attention. Here are a few examples.
  1. When some animals arrive they have needs that may take a little more time to heal. Animals who have Heartworms, Broken Limbs, Need Amputations, or have been Hit by a Car may take more time to recover from such injuries. It is often too much to ask a potential adopter to handle that for a new pet so many of these special cases gain a temporary Sanctuary Status until they recover and can live a more normal/stable life.
  2. Seniors have a variety of health issue as they age, some of the most common are the very things our human seniors deal with such as Arthritis or even Incontinence.
  3. Some animals battle serious conditions that take a lot of work, effort, or funding. Some of these conditions are things like Diabetes, Seizures, Debilitating Immune Disorders, and Neurological Conditions.
  4. There are a times issues that cannot be seen. Ones that appear normal on the outside but can be just as traumatic as a physical malady. Animals can suffer from a variety of Mental Disorders from Anxiety, PTSD, Severe OCD, Bi Polarism, as well as other lesser known afflictions that can affect specifically dogs or cats.
  5. Hospice Animals can be of any age. These animals would require much of the same care as their human counterparts would to help keep them comfortable aside from love and companionship. This can include pain medicine, intravenous fluids, and veterinary observation.

  • Therapy. Just as vet care can help repair the body, so too can various therapies. 
  1. Hydro Therapy is a fantastic way to help animals recovering from ailments concerning their limbs. It can help an amputee strengthen its other limbs, provide a good range of motion for arthritic animals, and even help obese animals safely lose weight. 
  2. Massage Therapy can not only help the physical body by stimulating muscles and helping relax them, it can also help animals who have high anxiety levels. By doing so it can help rekindle trust between humans and animals through touch while helping them come down from a high strung state of being.
  3. Acupuncture Therapy has various uses that function on a different level than the  ones previously mentioned. Not just a Holistic approach, it treats internally by stimulating nerves, circulation, and releasing natural anti-inflammatory and pain relieving hormones. There are a few other treatments that are similar but can act and affect the body differently. These Include; Acupressure, Moxibustion, Electrostimulation (often used on humans who experience chronic back pain for instance), and Laser Energy which works like a needle-less form of Acupuncture for more sensitive animals.

As you can see there are many things that Donations can help with. We want the people who Donate to us know where their money is going, so we will always send back a note to share this information with you. Here at ALPRAS our connection to our supporters is very important to us. ALPRAS is 100% Donations and Out of Pocket Assistance from Foster Homes, Furever Foster Homes, and supportive partners like Kittens in Chains. We appreciate every Donation and so do the Rescue and Sanctuary animals who are the ones that benefit from the kindness of others.
