LOST DOG RESCUE FOUNDATION

Since 2001, Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation has saved the lives of more than 25,000 dogs and cats. Our mission is to rescue pets from the threat of euthanasia at overcrowded shelters and place them in loving homes. Prior to being made available for adoption all of our animals (even puppies and kittens) are spayed or neutered, properly vaccinated and appropriately tested. Many animals come to us with medical needs requiring expensive treatments such as orthopedic surgery, heart worm treatment, and dental cleaning and surgery. Donations allow LDCRF to provide proper diagnostic testing and appropriate care, even when the cost far exceeds the amount that will be recovered by the adoption fee. Animals stay with LDCRF for as long as it takes them to find a loving, permanent home. Most stay at the Lost Dog Ranch on 63 rural acres, while many others are placed in foster homes throughout the DC Metro area. Each weekend, LDCRF hosts ten adoption events, averaging 50 adoptions per weekend. All administrative and adoption activities are conducted by volunteers, with only the direct care staff at the Lost Dog Ranch receiving salaries.

Microsoft partners with Benevity to facilitate its donations. Your points redemption activity will be deducted from your account immediately. Within six weeks after the end of the month in which you redeem your points, Microsoft will make a cash donation based on your redemption to a donor-advised fund at the Benevity UK Online Giving Foundation (OGF), with a recommendation that they make a corresponding grant to your selected nonprofit organization. OGF will take exclusive legal control of Microsoft's donation on your behalf. Donation redemptions are non-refundable. If your chosen nonprofit is not able to receive the donation (for example, if it no longer meets the participation criteria), or if the donation is otherwise undeliverable, the cash donation will be redirected to a nonprofit of Microsoft's choosing. Non-profits are not endorsed by Microsoft.
