Looking Glass Animal Rescue ("LGAR") is an award-winning 501 (c)(3) nonprofit volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from high-kill shelters, hoarding situations, puppy mills, animal fighting rings and more. While we welcome all animals in need, we specifically focus on animals that are often overlooked due to age, breed, special need, illness or injury and frequently requiring immediate, often costly medical attention that shelters are unable to provide.Without a rescue outlet, these animals would otherwise be euthanized due to their issues. LGAR looks past these issues, seeing these animals not for what they are today, but what they can become tomorrow – healthy, happy family members with tons of love to give.Mission: Saving the sick, injured, neglected and abandonedVision: Working towards the day when no companion animal is euthanized for lack of a home.What's in a name? A lot actually. The name was chosen because of its symbolic meaning toward our mission."Through the looking glass, things are not as they appear to be."This is never held such truth than when one looks at the many dogs in municipal shelters that are ragged, neglected, sick, injured, behaviorally challenged or otherwise "less than perfect". Yet, when one looks past all that, what can be seen is an inner beauty just waiting to be recognized and nurtured into a healthful state. That is what we are about – taking the most unwanted of the unwanted, seeing them not for what they are but, for what they can be, dedicating the resources and the love needed to make that possibility a reality.* Animal Care Centers of NYC - New Hope Partner * Best Friends Animal Society - No More Homeless Pets Network Partner* 2017 & 2019 Best of Ridgefield, CT Award in the Non-Profit Organization category by the Ridgefield Award Program* GuideStar Exchange - Platinum Recipient* Participant, ShelterAnimalsCount.org* 2018 & 2019 Top Rated Nonprofit by GreatNonprofits.org
